Triten Real Estate was drawn to the shuttered Plano Market Square Mall because of its potential. “We saw a big piece of property in a good location,” Hardaway said.
The office spaces created out of the remaining mall space come with outdoor gathering places, a new fitness center and large tenant common areas that occupy areas where shoppers strolled outside the mall’s storefronts.Lounge areas will be furnished with soft seating. There’s a meeting space where companies can host town hall gatherings and a quiet room where no cellphones will be allowed.
The office lobby interiors include new decorative wooden ceiling panels along with original steel work and sections of old brick paving left over from the mall storefronts.“In an adaptive reuse project, you expect some old elements with new,” Hardaway said. “The tall ceiling heights are really attractive to us, and the industrial feel.”
Triten is also getting a lot of leasing interest on the 16,000 square feet of restaurants and retail space constructed in new buildings on the south side of the property. “We are way down the road on having the restaurants all leased to operators,” he said. Construction undergoes at Assembly Park, a former Plano shopping mall converted into a mixed-use project.The 305 apartments, in three-story buildings, fill the eastern section of the property once occupied by a demolished portion of the shopping mall and surface parking. About 20% of the rental units in the buildings are townhouse-style, Hardaway said.
