Shopping centers are evolving. Customers are demanding more than just shops. We need to design rich and meaningful experiences for today’s consumer. We need to create Experience Centers.

Jeremy McMullin, our President and Lead Designer, will be speaking at the RECON conference in Cartagena on
Thursday, October 11th at 3:30 pm – 4.30 pm CST.

Jeremy will demonstrate how experience centers can be successfully designed using examples of our current global project.

We have won two more prestigious awards from the ICSC, for a total of 38 awards for design excellence and development success.

PERI ROOSEVELT We designed the lifestyle expansion to this existing shopping centre, using inspiration from the surrounding landscape, increasing sales by 35% and winning a silver design and development award.

SHOPPING NOVA AMÉRICA After a fire destroyed part of the shopping centre, it was redesigned and rebuilt to great success, winning a gold design and development award.

The Oshawa Centre project is an expansion and renovation of the 1.25 million square foot shopping centre. This redevelopment added 60 new retail stores, two full-service restaurants, another 1,000-seat expansion to the food court, and overall aesthetic upgrade to other common areas.
