1.0 INTRODUCTION
These Criteria have been formulated to standardize and enhance the character within the Retail
Environment, namely the overall setting which is the common areas and the Retail Units which
is the Tenants space.
These Criteria act as a guide to all Tenants and his Technical team during the design and
implementation of the Tenants retail space. These Criteria shall encourage the effective
utilization of the Center Setting and to ensure Storefront and Sign requirements are understood
by each Tenant, his Architect and/or Designer, Contractor and Representatives. The Center
refers to both the Mall and Retail Units within the Residential Towers.
Variety and creativity of design is encouraged and allowed by these Criteria but should take into
mind that it should complement the character of the Center. If and when the Tenant does not
comply, the Owner then reserves the right to reject the Tenants’ design submission. Any
restrictions are not intended to limit the designers, rather these restrictions are set in place in
order to avoid conflict with the overall design intentions and maintain uniformity and visual
consistency within the Center.
Final Design approval will be subject for review by the Owner. Approval shall be given if and
only all Criteria stated here are satisfied.
These Criteria are applicable to all Tenants, even those having regionally recognizable standard
Storefront designs. Such Tenants shall adapt their design for use in the Center and tailor
Storefronts appropriately to ensure compatibility with the basic design. It is the intent of the
Criteria that stores maintain a “SHOW WINDOW” concept for the Storefront design. Therefore,
Tenants are encouraged to maximize the use of glass as a basic storefront material. The
following General Design Criteria shall apply to all stores except as otherwise indicated or
required under the Special Design Criteria provided herein.
The information provided is subject to change at the discretion of Century Properties, being
known as the Owner. The Owner has the right to modify or revise any information in these
Criteria as needed for the best interest of the project or in the event of conflict. At the same,
the Owner maintains the right to entertain and approve variations to, and deviations from,
these Criteria on a case-to-case basis.
