The buzz word these days is Lifestyle Center - or a retail area that focuses on the experience. Lifestyle centers are also called outdoor malls or "focused, boutique" malls.
The Streets at Southpoint in Durham, NC have an interesting concept where the outdoor lifestyle center leads into an indoor covered shopping area. The vaulted ceilings and design of the indoor area has a very open feel, and together with the heat lamps (like they have in The Grove in Los Angeles) it could make the entire shopping area more versatile during the cold months.
Here are a few examples of what we're thinking about at Manhattan Harbour. We'd love to hear your ideas, share them with us by posting the links or the pictures in the comments below.
