The scope of work generally consists of designing a two story addition of 22,420 GSF per floor (total 44,840 GSF) on the easternmost end of the building, a 3,340 GSF stockroom on the north side; and to add a 28,611 GSF second story over the existing retail space which has been previously designed to support the imposed structural loads. Both second floor spaces will be connected to form a continuous uninterrupted retail floor.
