DALLAS, TX – December 9, 2019 – With the addition of CallisonRTKL’s signature 155,000- SF “Connector,” the King of Prussia Mall became the largest enclosed shopping center in the United States in August 2016. The project has now been declared the Gold winner for Renovations – Retail projects over 500,000 SF in total retail space in the 2019 North America Design and Development Award, presented by the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC). The project’s win was announced Thursday night, December 5th, at ICSC’s 3-day CenterBuild conference in Phoenix, AZ.
“We’re honored that the ICSC has chosen to recognize King of Prussia for this award,” says Jeff Gunning, Senior Vice President in CRTKL’s Dallas office, “Our long-standing relationship with Simon has positioned us at the forefront of this prominent retail development and we can’t wait to see what the future holds.”
Linking two separate buildings, the Connector features an intricate, large glass box that is equal in scale to the adjacent anchors but also forms a transparent public space with an exciting collection of luxury retailers, upscale dining options and first- to- market brands. The new building makes a visual and physical connection to the outside while creating seamless interior access to the entire mall and a new environment that showcases existing tenants and highlights new upscale retail and F+B brands.
CallisonRTKL brought home additional Design and Developments awards for Pinecrest and Rosedale Center.
