Under the auspices of the Taubman Company and in association with Brown McDaniel Bhandari, Inc. of San Francisco, Hobbs + Black Architects has completed work on the MacArthur Center in Norfolk Virginia.  Located in the heart of the city, this 1.1 million square foot structure is adjacent to the memorial to General Douglas MacArthur.  The center is anchored by Nordstrom and Dillard’s department stores, with space for a third major anchor tenant.  There are 400,000 square feet of mall tenant shops and 100,000 square feet of food and entertainment offerings.  In addition to the new mall, two 5 level parking decks have been provided accommodating 4,000 cars.

Hobbs + Black worked closely with the corporate architects for the anchor stores, to plan and schedule the construction of their new stores. In addition, Hobbs + Black coordinated the activities of the subconsultants and specialty consultants working on the project.
