Drawing directly from the values of local residents in a Santiago neighborhood, tvsdesign created a new destination for live, work and play. With the assistance of Fundación Chile, Mall Plaza will be the first retail chain to measure the carbon footprint at its building site for the new center; they achieved LEED® NC 3.0 Gold Certification.
As the historical central marketplace, Mall Plaza Egana in Santiago, Chile returns to prominence with this four level urban infill project. The retail area of the complex includes a mix of merchandise ranging from service retail and hypermarket in the subterranean transit level to the atrium and three upper levels with higher end retail stores. Lining the street and plaza gardens are sidewalk cafes, restaurants and an amphitheater that create an entertainment district with a Bohemian atmosphere. Cinemas, food court and family restaurants anchor a rooftop garden with dramatic views to downtown Santiago and the mountains beyond.
Below grade, the building links to a new subway station and serves as the pedestrian connection to the bus transfer.
