New Café Terrace structure and open-air food court at San Diego's premier luxury shopping center.
Situated in the heart of Mission Valley, this center showcases upscale retailers, including Tiffany & Co., Louis Vuitton, Burberry, and Gucci. The mall has undergone comprehensive renovations and seismic upgrades, covering all 290,000 SF of common areas, hardscape, landscape, furnishings, lighting, finishes, and the addition of a 27,000 SF Café Dining Terrace.
These enhancements have significantly improved the shopping experience for consumers, focusing on branded signage, lighting, seating, and lounges. The program has also created accessible lounges and gathering spaces with the inclusion of water features, paying attention to newly branded signage and placemaking. The remodel also entails the refurbishment of the main elevator’s transparency wall, along with the addition of new branded light columns, lighting designs, and a directional sign program. The development features new trellises, sail-shaped shading structures, and center-wide enhancements such as paint, wainscoting, and tiling. Moreover, the project integrates new leisure outdoor living spaces and furnishings, a kiosk and sales cart program, and a revitalization of all entry courts. Further additions include a new café terrace structure, dining hall, water features, fountains, extensive landscaping, green walls, and updated paving throughout.
