Foreword Purpose The purpose of this document, the Natick Mall Tenant Criteria Manual (NMTC), is to delineate design parameters and quality standards within the Control Zone of the Tenants leased space. The goal is to permit the Tenant maximum individual expression, while encouraging improvements which enhance the attractive and exciting retail environment of Natick Mall. The General Design Criteria for Tenant improvements refers to such elements as: finishes, signage, lighting, acoustics, security, etc. on a project-wide basis. Criteria that are specific to particular locations within the mall are noted, and apply in addition to those contained in the General Criteria. The NMTC is incorporated into, and part of, the lease. Therefore it is a legally binding document. Each Tenant shall familiarize themselves with the document before a formal design conference with the Landlord is held, at which time the Tenant s questions will be discussed. The NMTC must be used in conjunction with the Natick Mall Tenant Technical Manual. The renderings, drawings, and floor plans contained in the NMTC approximate the plans and conditions and are not intended for actual construction. They are included here for illustrative purposes as an aid to Tenant compliance with the NMTC. Landlord s actual configuration and design within Natick Mall as constructed, however, may vary in certain aspects from such renderings, drawings, and floor plans. In case of deviations between these Criteria and other documents, the lease shall take precedence. The Landlord, however, does not guarantee the accuracy of the Lease Outline Drawings and all Tenants are required to field verify all as-built conditions. The Landlord reserves the right to disapprove any store or signage design that does not comply with the standards established by the criteria in this booklet. Tenants are encouraged to discuss specific thoughts or questions regarding this criteria with the Tenant Coordinator before beginning any design work. 5

Site Plan Site Plan w/ Expansion Area T.B.D. SEARS Expansion Existing Mall 6

Introduction Massachusetts Turnpike Route 126 Route 30 To Downtown Boston Natick Mall, one of greater Boston s premier shopping centers, is embarking on a major expansion to include Massachusetts first-ever Nordstrom department store, Neiman Marcus, luxury boutiques, specialty stores, and four sit-down restaurants. In addition, two luxury condominium complexes will complement this development and position Natick Mall as New England s premier shopping and entertainment destination. Nationally recognized architects and interior designers are transforming both the existing mall and the expansion into an elegant, lively destination to shop, live, dine and enjoy leisure time. Interior finishes will feature more natural light and shopper comforts that will appeal to this sophisticated market. New entrances and a softened streetscape will welcome shoppers to the center. Surrounding the development, frontage landscaping will flourish, and a public walkway and bicycle path will create an appealing oasis for its residential owners. More than just a great shopping center, Natick Mall will be a multi-use environment. Route 9 Natick To Downtown Boston The Existing Mall The existing two-level Natick Mall connects four anchor stores, 180 specialty shops and restaurants, and a second level Food Court. Four site entries provide automobile access: Route 9 from the south, Flutie Pass from the west and north, and Speen Street from the east. These vehicular entries equally distribute traffic to one large and one small surface parking area and two parking decks. Speen Street Town of Framingham Town of Natick Illuminated clerestories running the length of the building provide customers with a strong visual image while driving along Route 9. Specially selected landscaping is used throughout the parking area and around the building perimeter to reinforce the overall design concept. 7

Introduction Arriving at the Retail Center The arrangement of entries creates a cross flow of shoppers from the various access points. Mall entrances at both levels are accessed directly from upper and grade level parking areas. The public space can also be entered through the major department stores at both levels. Entry Level Shoppers enter the mall through gracious Entry Corridors which are located at the center and ends of the mall. The shopping arcade, with its flood of natural light, invites the shopper to continue deeper into the mall. The gentle curving nature of the roof structure is reflected in the meandering space that connects the center s public areas to the department stores. Shifts in the walkway create pleasant nodes where landscaping, soft seating, and smaller merchandising zones are located. Three department stores are located along this grand avenue and one is centrally located at a cross axis. Four pairs of escalators provide equally spaced vertical access. One large elevator, conveniently located, also carries the shopper between levels. First Floor Plan TBD 8

Introduction Upper Level The upper level, meandering under the spectacular S-curved roof, is frequently connected by elegantly articulated bridges that enable shoppers to cross from one side of the arcade to the other. Open and expansive views across the mall and to the lower level enable the shopper to easily locate desired destinations. The Food Court s upper level location provides a bright, colorful, and airy sky-lighted space for mall shoppers. TBD Second Floor Plan 9

Introduction Avenues & Courts The dramatic S-shaped roof over the public spaces gives a changing scale to the long two level shopping arcade. A quarter round continuous skylight floods the walkways with natural light during the daytime creating a bright, exciting environment. The avenue takes on a completely different character in the evening hours when the opaque, curving roof is gently illuminated with a soft glowing effect. A bright, cloud-like ceiling over the transition courts shapes a convenient area for soft seating, landscaping, and other mall amenities. Details, Amenities, Way-finding & Finishes Shoppers amenities and clear way-finding, carefully considered in the design of the center, are conveniently located throughout. There is a well-equipped Guest Services center where shopper assistance, strollers, and wheelchairs are available. Restroom facilities are located on both levels while varied types of seating are generously placed throughout the public area. Elegant materials and patterns throughout the center lend a graceful feel to the space. Warm wood, rich stones, tile, and glass are under foot and at hand. Complimentary lighting overhead highlights and animates the shopping experience. Wood Accents Food Court Wall Tiles Stainless Steel Accents Porcelain Floor Tile Porcelain Tile Border 10

General Retail Design Criteria Purpose The General Storefront Criteria sets forth the guidelines for storefront design for all Tenant shops other than those in the Food Court which are addressed elsewhere in this manual. The tenant must develop a total store design concept that coordinates storefront signage, interior design, lighting and visual display. Tenants are encouraged to build this total design concept around unique aspects or themes of their business operation or product. The customer experience must be enhanced by a oneof-a-kind environment, showcasing superior merchandising skills and excellence in customer service. Landlord Review Tenants should understand that it may be necessary to review a storefront in context with neighboring storefronts and make judgments that will benefit the entire mall. Within this framework, a level of quality can be achieved which will reinforce the image of each Tenant as well as Natick Mall as a whole. Those tenants who have nationally recognizable storefront designs and identities may be required to modify their designs to fit into the overall context. All Tenant documents shall be produced by a licensed Architect/ Engineer registered in the State of Massachusetts. Prior to the design process, the Tenant and their Architect must visit the site to verify conditions. The Landlord is not responsible for omissions of architectural, mechanical, electrical, or plumbing elements within the Tenant premises. 11

Food Court Food Court Key Plan Introduction The Natick Food Court, featuring both specialty in-line and kiosk food Tenants is located on the Second Level near the Sears Court. The Tenants surround the common seating area where tables and seating for over 800 people is provided. A skylight above allows natural light to create an open, attractive and lively atmosphere. Tenants are encouraged to develop a unique and innovative design and not a traditional franchise look. It is the Landlord s intent that the Food Court Tenants convey an open market atmosphere and therefore it is important that the Tenant s design shall be compatible with neighboring Tenants. The designs and materials used in the tenant space shall comply with the health code and shall convey the image of a sanitary environment. The design shall also meet The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. 35

In-Line Tenants Control Zone The first 10-0 of a Tenant s space from lease line to the partition separating the sales area from the food preparation area will be considered the Control Zone and will be reviewed closely by the Landlord. The Control Zone must incorporate an upgraded finish level as defined by the Design Criteria with an exciting and well-designed presentation to customers. An interior partition and door, approximately 10-0 back from the lease line, are required at the transition between the Control Zone and the back room so that no direct views are allowed into the back room cooking, storage, and clean up areas. The door between the Control Zone and back room must be a double acting type door which returns to a closed position when not in use. See page 45 for Specifications. Openings may be incorporated into the Control Zone back wall provided these openings are minimized in size. The openings shall not exceed one foot six inches (1-6 ) in height and two feet six inches (2-6 ) in width. If by design, the food prep and Control Zone are not separated, all of the space will be considered Control Zone and required to meet higher standards of finish and materials. All equipment types and layouts must be detailed and submitted to the Landlord for approval. All equipment and fixtures including exhaust hoods, cooking appliances, warming trays, coolers, etc, which are allowed in this zone must have walls, soffits, or finished panels to conceal unfinished surfaces of this equipment. Where exposed, finished surfaces must be compatible with the overall design of the space. No displays or signs are permitted beyond the Lease Line or on Landlord Neutral Piers / Demising Walls.
