The Renovation

The mall was fisrt opened about 30 years ago.  It was approximately half the size it is now.  3 years ago it was expanded and updated.  Now the old section is getting a complete facelift.  Here are some of the photos of the progress.  It is mostly of scaffolding to show the breadth and scope. Almost 90 tenants are being temporarily relocated and the central plant is being dismantled during this project.  The property will be totally on district cooling when it is done.  There is NO heating anywhere at the property.  Last winter the temp got down to 50 degrees and there was n o possibility to warm the spaces.  This should give you an idea of the weather here.

There are over 500 construction personnel at the site in a given day.  This is just a sampling of their number.


This is a sampling of the scope.  This is area is currently exposed to sunlight but this section will be completely enclosed when the project is completed.

There is an erector set somewhere that is green with envy.
