• Client: CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.
• Project Description: This 1960’s era suburban mall needed a revived
look in order to maintain and improve tenant leasing. The work also
revitalized the exterior presence with entrance upgrades including the
addition of outward facing retailers and restaurants. A palette of warm

stone softened the cold and harsh existing interior. Soft seating areas,
a fireplace in the food court and water feature in the center court
provided an inviting environment.
