GENERAL INFORMATION
Freestanding retail kiosks are planned throughout the common areas and
are designed as pavilions within these areas. The standard kiosk size shall
not exceed the footprint illustrated on the Lease Outline Drawing. Kiosk loca-
tions may not impede upon the mall exit widths.
It is important that kiosks complement the common areas, as well as provide
visibility and individuality to merchandise displays. Primary emphasis is on
creativity, individuality, dynamic and three dimensional variety, quality materi-
als, and most of all, a strong retail image.
Particular attention will be given to all aspects of the Tenants design due to
the high visibility of the lease space from all sides. Tenants will be chal-
lenged to create unique design concepts in their finishes, lighting, signage
and merchandising displays.
This criteria will act as a guide for the design of all work to be installed by
Tenants in conjunction with the provisions of the Tenants lease with the
Landlord. The Landlords interpretation of this criteria is final and governing.
