Victor Gruen, the architect of America’s first modern shopping mall, Southdale Center in Edina, Minnesota, envisioned a gathering place to build community and feel connected. Today, malls and shopping centers are evolving from being exclusively shopping destinations to truly being mixed use – combining entertainment, office, fitness, grocery, retail, and more all in one location. Over a half-century later, Gruen’s vision is finally becoming a reality.

Developers and management companies are curating their collection of stores, restaurants, public services, and spaces to meet the local community’s changing needs. Malls aren’t just for commerce anymore. They’re places where people come to spend time – not just shop.

Urbanspace Food Hall - Tyson’s Corner Galleria
“Streetsense was introduced to BGD Companies as we designed the Urbanspace Food Hall in the Tyson’s Corner Galleria just outside Washington D.C. The design for the space was forward-thinking and ambitious. BGD stuck with us thru the entire process, from producing prototypes for our approval and editing to exacting shop drawings, fabrication, and timely installation. From a design standpoint, though intense, exhausting, and fun, the project went smoothly – meeting the expectations and vision of Streetsense and our client.” Jason Maringola Design Director of Interior Architecture Streetsense
