The Shops at Franklin Terrace

This 15,200 sq. ft. specialty retail project is designed to have two front façades: one facing the parking and the other facing a natural running creek.

Capitalizing on this unique site, Design Innovation Architects (DIA) designed the project to provide a meandering pedestrian boardwalk at the façade adjacent to the creek for outdoor shopping and dining. This boardwalk extends to both sides of the building to connect two restaurants and a bookstore, also included in this development.

The building is designed to offer a festive retail atmosphere through the use of metal roof canopies, a mix of masonry and stucco wall materials, and a signature tower. The building’s design is used as the basis for the proportions and finishes of the other buildings on this site.
