5: Tenant Interiors

Store Design

Tenants are encouraged to produce high quality, well detailed and executed interior solutions that are unique, imaginative and stylized. The store interior is typically viewed as a continuation of the storefront in design and materials. Walls are to have modulation of display systems and built in architectural components that reinforce the store design theme.

Non-combustible and/or fire-resistant materials are required within the entire lease area. Interior design must meet accessibility guidelines enforced by national or local jurisdictions, including the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Pursuant to the Construction Lease Exhibit of the Tenant’s executed Lease, Tenant at its sole cost and expense, shall provide all remaining improvements necessary, other than those performed by Landlord.

Visual Presentation and Merchandising

Strong visual presentation and merchandising are essential and integral components of store design. Displays in the storefront and within the interior should be bold, strong and imaginative. Tenants are encouraged to retain a visual presentation design consultant to assist in providing the most effective merchandising concept. Tenants shall install custom designed and color coordinated fixtures including, but not limited to the following:

 

  • Cash wrap/counter
  • Display counters and shelves
  • Wall cabinets
  • Showcases
  • Pedestals, platforms, tables, etc.
  • Manufactured wall display systems

Fixtures shall not be overstocked. Tenant’s drawings shall indicate fixture quantities, quality, location, details and finishes. Chrome racks, rounders, four-ways and basic display tables are not acceptable. All standards for shelves and fixtures shall be recessed. Cash wraps shall provide a recess for cash registers. Trash containers and supplies shall be concealed. Displays are not permitted beyond the lease line. Visible stacks of inventory, lengthy rows of clothing racks, folding tables, cluttered entrances or merchandise set on the floor are not permitted.

 

VISUAL PRESENTATION BEST PRACTICES

“The last thing the customer needs is another store that looks just like all the others” 

Be Distinctive

“In a world where you can find identical merchandise in multiple stores, design layout and presentation become key differentiating factors”

Customer Habits

  • People visually scan at eye level, about 5 feet
  • The optimum buying height is at eye and hand level
  • People walk toward the right
  • Most people are right handed
  • People are sensory stimulated – Sight, Sound, Touch and Smell

Key Planning Factors

  • Understanding traffic flow! Where to place brand identity and graphics
  • Where to place best sellers
  • Where and what do you want the customer to pick up first?
  • Design concept that incorporates sensory elements-sight, touch and smell (if applicable)

The following steps will help you design and effectively merchandise your retail space:

  • Who is your customer?
  • What kinds of customers do you want to attract?
  • What is the image and profile of the location?
  • Who is your competitor and why are you different?

Site-line

The design needs to ensure that the customer can see around, over, or through the merchandise presentation. It should tell merchandise stories that target you customer, make it easy to view your assortment. It should give your best-selling merchandise the most favorable display space. A haphazard approach to product placement and layout generates less than desired results. In order to position every item in its proper location, you must have a far more detailed plan, not the usual “It was the only place left available, so that’s where it ended up!”

 

Design Control Zone

The Design Control Zone is the front of the Tenant Space that extends from the Storefront lease line to all points 5’-0” into the space and is subject to review and approval by the Landlord. The Design Control Zone includes all display windows and retail graphics, display fixtures, materials, finishes, color and lighting fixtures within the area.

If the Tenant receives Landlord approval and elects to expose the structure, then all visible elements including, but not limited to water, sanitary, storm drain pipe, telephone, electric, fire alarm conduit, HVAC and exhaust ductwork, shall receive a painted finish and shall maintain the integrity of the fire rating. The fire sprinkler grid system shall be modified to meet local codes.

All ceiling systems shall be accessible either by removal of integral lay-in panels, tabbed concealed spline panels, or commercial grade access panels. Means of access shall be provided by the Tenant as required by the Landlord to gain access to the Landlord’s or Tenant’s pull-boxes, dampers, valves, junction boxes or other equipment.

Demising Walls

Tenant shall install 5/8” (Type X) gypsum board to the Tenant’s side of all perimeter walls of the Premises from floor slab to underside of deck as required by U.L. or The International Building Code (IBC) to achieve a minimum 1 hour rated assembly on all partitions where fire-resistive construction is required. If Tenant wall is connected to a base building wall, it must be 1 hour fire-rated. Any penetrations through the demising wall must be approved, in writing, by the Landlord.

Tenant is responsible for maintaining demising wall fire rating and smoke separation. This work may include the installation of fire caulking, fire stops, fire dampers and fire rated penetration seals as required by Applicable Laws.

The Tenant shall not attach any components, such as wall standards, shelving, equipment, etc., directly to demising wall, exterior wood stud or masonry walls without providing adequate furring or stud separation. The furring or stud separation must be adequate to allow for support of the attached components. Under no circumstance is the fire rating of the demising wall to be compromised.

The rear wall of the sales area is an important feature of the overall design concept and is often a focal point for displays, signage and merchandise; design consideration should be given to this area.

Entries and doors to storage/ stock areas should not be placed in customers’ direct line of sight.

USE OF THE FOLLOWING WALL CONSTRUCTION TYPES ARE PROHIBITED:

  • Concrete block or other masonry partitions
