The Mall of San Juan
San Juan, Puerto Rico
The Mall of San Juan is a contemporary two-level regional mall with 644,000 square feet of leasable space anchored by a 100,000-square-foot Saks Fifth Avenue and a 138,000-square-foot Nordstrom. The project also included the construction of three independent parking structures able to handle upwards of 2,500 vehicles.
As architect of record, Hobbs+Black worked with Taubman to create a vibrant and rich shopping environment that reflects the local culture. A rooftop dining terrace with supporting lease space provides area for shoppers to enjoy the Caribbean breeze while the two main shopping levels organically flow from each end of the center. The unique, continuous point-supported skylight was designed specifically to allow the sun to filter through while withstanding the Caribbean heat. Many natural materials were selected for the interior and accented by vibrant colors and textures.
As the first upscale regional shopping center in the Caribbean, the mall is strategically located near the international airport and only minutes from the historical old town and cruise ship port. The Mall of San Juan, with its beautiful architecture, unique tenant mix, and prime location is positioned to be the premier shopping environment in the Caribbean.
