Lake Elsinore Outlets

Adding Value By Designing Comfort

The property developer wanted to redesign the outdoor shopping environment for a outlet mall in a readily developing area of Southern California.  BMLA, Inc. was tasked with design development and construction drawings based on a conceptual preliminary design produced by Glatting and Jackson.  The scope of work included siting massive fabric shade structures and upgrading planting and adding several fountains and outdoor dining area.  The improved site features have improved shopper comfort and spruced up the retail environment.

A new fountain and outdoor dining area was added to create enjoyable spaces for shoppers to sit and enjoy.  Before the renovation, there was no place for shoppers to eat or rest.  Now, shoppers can spend more time at the mall which results in more dollars spent on average.

Back-to-school shoppers enjoy the more comfortable surroundings.
