MIC MAC MALL TENANT DESIGN CRITERIA MANUAL PART IV DESIGN CRITERIA Introduction This Criteria establishes basic guidelines for Tenants and their designers. It states limitations and objectives of Tenant s design concept, and has been formulated to allow and encourage Tenants to make the best use of the mall setting. The intention is to allow each Tenant to fully express the individuality and character of his store and business. The emphasis is placed on the most important element The Merchandise. Variety and creativity of the storefront design is allowed by the design criteria and will be encouraged by the Landlord in order to further complement the theme of this original and unique complex. Tenants are required, for their mutual benefit to comply with the design criteria. It is also required that prior to commencement of detail drawings, the Tenant or his consultants review the design criteria, building structure and building code requirements, along with the Schedule C to the Offer to Lease and arrange a preliminary design review meeting with the Landlord s Tenant Coordinator. In addition, any interpretations required of the design criteria will also be made through the Landlord s Tenant Coordinator. Definitions Lease Line: Closure Line: Design Control Zone: The line establishing the perimeter of the rentable area. i.e. separation line between mall and Tenant s space 9refer to Architectural Plan for correct location of lease line. The line establishing the location of the closure doors, grille, etc. The location of the closure line may vary according to different mall locations (refer to the Criteria Drawings for details and examples). The area between the Lease line and the Closure line. Within this area the Landlord shall control and approve all aspects of the Tenant s design (refer to the Criteria Drawings for details and examples). Base Building Materials CEILINGS: FLOORS: ROOF STRUCTURE: DEMISING CAPS: LANDLORD S STOREFRONT BULKHEAD: Generally glass skylight or drywall/formglas light coves painted a light neutral colour. Combination of stone tiles in warm colours. The border tile, when extended from the Lease line to the Closure line is by Landlord at Tenant s expense.

Any panels, etc. may be a variety of materials. However, they must be compatible with those materials installed by the Landlord around the storefront. Generally the Tenant s storefront is to be located on the Lease line. However where the Closure line (door location) is set back, the set back is to be no greater than 3-6 from the Lease line in typical retail areas. Edges of the joints of frameless glass storefronts shall be ground, polished and sealed with silicone sealant. When opaque materials are to be used within the storefront design, the proportion between opaque and transparent materials will be to the Landlord s approval. The use of curtains, drapes and other shielding devices within the Tenant s storefront is not permitted. However, if a certain degree of opacity is required, tinted reflective glass may be used, subject to the Landlord s approval. The storefront opening varies between the floor and the underside of the bulkhead as indicated in the drawings. This variance normally occurs as a result of differences between the various criteria types. The materials listed below have been selected to encourage variety and creativity of storefront design. STOREFRONTS DEMISING WALLS FLOORS CEILINGS Glass: etched, sandblasted, tinted, clear Plastic laminates: solid colours only Wood: natural, stained Mirror: clear, tinted Metals: chrome, stainless steel, bronze, copper, brass, light bronze anodized or painted aluminium Tile: good quality glazed and unglazed tiles are acceptable Natural stones: marbles, granites, slate Other Opaque Materials: silver/gold leaf, brick (to match base building), solid mirror which may have a portion of backing removed for display, paint or mylar on the store interior side Demising walls exposed to the mall area within the Design Control Zone to be finished by the Tenant and approved by the Landlord.
