aqui les dejo un historial de plaza las americas

Desde fines de los años 50, los hermanos Jerónimo, Rosita, Gerardo y Jaime Fonalledas acariciaban la idea de construir un centro regional de comercio en terrenos que en aquel entonces pertenecían a la vaquería Tres Monjitas, también propiedad de la familia. Luego de numerosas gestiones, la construcción comenzó en abril de 1967 y ya para el 12 de septiembre de 1968 abrió sus puertas al público el principal centro comercial de Puerto Rico y del Caribe, Plaza Las Américas. En sus inicios, Plaza contaba con 800,000 pies cuadrados y fue concebido como un centro urbano, cualidad que aún mantiene al día de hoy.

Fue tanto el éxito de este centro comercial que pronto comenzaron los preparativos para realizar su primera expansión, que culminó en el 1979, en la que se añadió el área de comida rápida La Terraza y la tienda Sears. Ya a principios de los 90, comenzó una segunda expansión en la que se remodelaron los cines y La Terraza y se añadió la Torre de Oficinas, donde se ubicaron oficinas de servicios profesionales, tales como médicos y laboratorios.

Ya que el crecimiento y la innovación en Plaza Las Américas son continuos, en octubre del año 2000 se completó la que hasta ahora ha sido la expansión más grande e importante del centro comercial. Durante un periodo de más de siete años se estuvo trabajando un proyecto de renovación y expansión masivo de todo el centro comercial que incluyó el añadir cerca de 700,000 pies cuadrados de espacio comercial, la creación de nuevos espacios de estacionamientos y mejores accesos, un nuevo proyecto de jardinería, renovación total de pisos y techos, nueva ambientación e iluminación, entre otras mejoras. Como punto culminante de esta expansión estuvo la apertura del primer Macy’s que se establece fuera de los Estados Unidos continentales.

Desde sus inicios y hasta el día de hoy Plaza Las Américas ha sido propiedad y es administrado directamente por la Familia Fonalledas. Plaza es hoy una institución en la sociedad puertorriqueña de la que no sólo es su centro comercial más importante, sino también un importante centro social, cultural, social y artístico. Plaza Las Américas se posiciona actualmente como el lugar ideal para realizar compras, salir a comer o entretenerse.




SIGUE DESCUBRIENDO A TU ISLA Y A TU PUEBLO EN PLAZA LAS AMERICAS


El nuevo mundo de Plaza Las Américas es una celebración de quiénes somos como pueblo. Es un nuevo mundo donde se celebra la abundancia y la diversidad de nuestra naturaleza, al igual que la historia y la cultura que todos compartimos.

La última gran remodelación de Plaza Las Américas, que concluyó en el año 2000, nos recuerda el momento del descubrimiento de Puerto Rico. Los nuevos elementos decorativos recrean aquella isla descubierta por Cristóbal Colón en 1493 y el ambiente que encontró al llegar.

UNA VISION IMPONENTE DE PUERTO RICO: LAS ESCULTURAS Y LOS MEDALLONES


En distintas partes de Plaza Las Américas te encontrarás con siete medallones de arte diseñados por cuatro grandes artistas puertorriqueños; Myrna Báez, Nick Quijano y Marta Pérez García y Antonio Martorell. De hecho, es posible que camines sobre uno de los medallones sin darte cuenta, porque tal vez te distraiga una de las esculturas gigantescas que cuelgan del techo, como si estuvieran suspendidas en el espacio y que fueron creadas por la escultora Jo Schneider.

En conjunto, los medallones y las esculturas le rinden homenaje a nuestra isla. Pero cada una tiene algo especial que decirte.

El medallón en el Gran Atrio Central simboliza de forma abstracta el encuentro entre el indio taíno y Cristóbal Colón al llegar a la isla de Borinquen. Como es una obra artística, lo importante es que tú la veas con tus propios ojos y la interpretes a tu propia manera. Lo que no dejará de impresionarte es su belleza.

Muy cerca, si miras hacia arriba, te asombrará una enorme escultura colgante que te hará pensar en las velas de las carabelas en las que navegó Cristóbal Colón.

Si sigues el pasillo que te lleva a JCPenney, te toparás con otro medallón: pensarás en los ríos, quebradas y otros cuerpos de agua con que contamos en El Yunque y en otros bosques de la Isla. Verás como se recrea una quebrada que recoge el agua que cae del cielo. Quizás podrías llevarte la impresión de que te vas a mojar, porque encima de ti hay una escultura extraordinaria que simula gotas de lluvia en distintos colores.

Al final de ese pasillo, frente a la entrada principal de JCPenney, descubrirás un medallón que representa la fauna puertorriqueña mediante un guaraguao con una serpiente en su pico. Entonces vuelve a mirar hacia arriba: tres animales inmensos –un coquí, un lagartijo y una serpiente—flotan en el aire, y hasta parece que se están empinando hacia los otros.

Continúa tu jornada por el tiempo y la historia, y entre JCPenney y Macy’s descubrirás un medallón tan impresionante como los otros. Las estrellas de nuestro firmamento han sido presentadas de una manera dramática, para ilustrar el papel clave que jugaban en la vida de los indios taínos. Levanta tu mirada y te cautivará otra escultura fascinante, de inmensas proporciones, que combina rasgos del sol y de un espacio transformado por el arte y por tu propia imaginación.

Frente a Macy’s en el primer nivel, te vas a sumergir en la vida marina de la isla. Dale la vuelta a una fuente escultórica donde comparten las aguas un manatí, una tortuga y otros peces, que son parte de una visión artística de las maravillas del mar, y que incluso algunas de ellas están hoy en peligro de extinsión.

La flora de la isla cobra vida en el medallón dominado por una palma de la sierra, similar a las de las playas pero más representativa de la vegetación que adorna la región montañosa de Puerto Rico. Este medallón, ubicado frente a Old Navy, sin duda te traerá recuerdos de viajes que hayas hecho alrededor de la isla.

El sexto medallón, frente a Sears, te provocará una sensación similar con un árbol que ejemplifica la riqueza forestal de Puerto Rico. Un ave simboliza la diversidad de pájaros que vuelan sobre este abundante mundo natural. El séptimo medallón, de regreso al Atrio Central pero esta vez en el tercer nivel, te presenta el tema de la gastronomía puertorriqueña. Para ello, el maestro Antonio “Toño” Martorell se inspiró en uno de los platos favoritos de los puertorriqueños; un apetitoso arroz blanco con habichuelas acompañado por un huevo frito, o un arroz con habichuela a caballo, como se conoce comúnmente.

Cuando hayas descubierto cada una de estas obras de arte, bajo tus pies y sobre tu cabeza, vas a haber descubierto a Puerto Rico una vez más. Y cada vez que vuelvas a admirarlas, recordarás que bella es tu isla, qué rica es su historia y cuán variada es su cultura.

Por eso en Plaza Las Américas hemos recreado ese nuevo mundo tan nuestro. Queremos que cuando nos visites con tu familia o tus amigos, compartas con ellos una experiencia única. Esa experiencia es el descubrimiento de quiénes somos, y la sentirás siempre que camines por nuestras facilidades. La historia y la cultura no están solamente en los libros. Están a todo nuestro alrededor.


LA HISTORIA DE LOS MEDALLONES


Hechos en resina y piedra de mármol, la creación de los medallones presentó a tres artistas puertorriqueños con un reto especial, ya que nunca antes habían realizado este tipo de obra. Cinco de los medallones tienen un diámetro de 10 pies y el sexto –el medallón en el Gran Atrio Central que celebra el encuentro entre Cristóbal Colón y el indio taíno—es de 12 pies de diámetro. Todos fueron diseñados por artistas puertorriqueños y reproducios en terrazo por la compañía Artistic Surfaces. Myrna Báez: Medallón del encuentro simbólico entre Cristóbal Colón y el indio taíno
Medallón de la flora puertorriqueña
Martita Pérez: Medallón de la fauna puertorriqueña
Medallón del árbol
Nick Quijano: Medallón de los cuerpos de agua
Medallón de las estrellas en el firmamento
Antonio Martorell: Medallón de la gastronomía puertorriqueña

Beginnings Since the decade of the 50’s, the Fonalledas family wanted to develop a regional shopping center in a land that was part of the Tres Monjitas dairy plant, that also belonged to the family. The construction started in April of 1967 and on September 12, 1968 opened its doors for the first time the premier shopping center of Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, Plaza Las Américas. The original mall had 800,000 sq. ft. and was described as an urban center, a quality that is sustained today. Plaza Las Américas is positioned today as the ideal place for shopping, dining and entertainment.

Puertorriquenos como tu son los que necesitamos en la lsla que el Orgullo le salga por los poros! y termine con el negativismo que impera en nuestro pais y asi empezar a echar para adelante.

Yo vivo en el Condado ahora estoy en Casa de campo de Vacaciones casi un mes recuperandome de un accidente de carro que precisamente tuve en la carretera vieja de caguas cerca de la Muda. Me rompi la pierna completa ya llevo casi mas de un mes con este Maldito yeso y me falta por lo menos casi un mes mas. Entonces me vine aqui a Casa de Campo donde mi familia tiene casa de Playa aqui todo me lo hacen y no tengo que preocuparme por nada. Tan pronto salga de esto regreso a mi casa y a mi trabajo en San Juan.

Updating and reinvesting keeps Plaza pumping $300 million a year into local economy

Plaza Las Américas is Puerto Rico’s retail mecca with 26 million annual visitors

Lola, BCBG Generation, Totto, Pandora and Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F)
latest group of high-end retailers to join Plaza’s 300-plus tenant roster

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt149/miguelpr91/36acd656.jpg

Generating estimated annual sales of $1.1 billion to $1.5 billion, Plaza Las Américas is one of the 15 largest shopping centers in the U.S. and a major economic engine within the local economy.

However, when skeptics thought that Plaza, as the Hato Rey shopping mall is known and recognized in the market, couldn’t continue to grow or reinvent itself, its owners turned around and proved them wrong.

Just in time for this year’s retail holiday season, over 55,000 square feet of new retail space and store relocations are expected to bring mall occupancy to a whopping 97%—considered completely leased by most industry standards and higher than the average mall occupancy both locally and compared to U.S. mainland super-regional malls (malls larger than one million square feet in gross leasable area, or GLA).

As a result, Plaza will welcome a total of eight new high-end tenants and three seasonal retailers. Chief among them are: Lola (a BCBG group store), BCBG Generation, Totto, Pandora and Abercrombie& Fitch (A&F), CARIBBEAN BUSINESS learned. It also will relocate eight existing tenants to facilitate new arrivals (see “new stores” list).

The mall’s latest additions and store changes mark the largest retail shuffle at Plaza Las Américas in the decade since its $250 million-plus expansion in 2000, the largest in the mall’s history. Mall executives invited CARIBBEAN BUSINESS for an exclusive walk-through of what’s new at Plaza Las Américas, as well as to share some of the center’s most significant changes during the past decade that have transformed Plaza into the shopping phenomenon that it is today.

“From day one, since Plaza Las Américas was established in 1968, we have maintained an unwavering commitment to reinvesting in and updating the property, sparing no expense. That has kept us ahead of industry trends, relevant to the millions of visitors who come to Plaza every year and most importantly, as a true reflection of the best Puerto Rico has to offer as a destination,” said Jaime Fonalledas, president of Plaza Las Américas.

Plaza is one of several sister companies founded by the Fonalledas family, including Plaza del Caribe, the island’s largest shopping center located in Ponce, Tres Monjitas, the family’s farming and dairy-production company, and the Plaza Las Américas Foundation, the group’s philanthropic arm. Empresas Fonalledas, another family company, provides administrative, human resources and real-estate support to all the Fonalledas operations.

With Plaza Las Américas’ success also comes increased competition and the ongoing pressure to maintain market leadership. News of Plaza’s latest major retail overhaul comes on the heels of new market developments and legal troubles for the industry giant (see related story).

A MAJOR ECONOMIC ENGINE

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt149/miguelpr91/66d2b6b6.jpg

Industry observers say shopping, one of Puerto Ricans’ preferred pastimes, keeps the local economy moving forward. With 300-plus stores and an astounding 70,000 visitors every day, it is no wonder Plaza Las Américas has earned its title as “el centro de todo” (the center of everything). However, beyond its appeal as a major shopping and entertainment destination, since 2000, Plaza Las Américas has further strengthened its market position as a major economic engine and industry leader.

Today, Plaza Las Américas boasts more than 300 stores, 35 fast-food outlets at the mall’s La Terraza food court, 12 full-service restaurants, 13 movie theaters, 60 medical offices and approximately 11,000 parking spaces.

Combined operations at Plaza not only help support nearly 9,500 direct jobs, up from the 2,000 it employed in 1968, but it also pours $300 million into the local economy every year. During the past 10 years, the mall’s owners have invested over $300 million in expansions and ongoing improvements to the mall and its surrounding areas.

For Lorraine Vissepó, director of communications of Empresas Fonalledas, the 2000 expansion was pivotal in the quantum-leap growth Plaza has experienced during the past decade.

“The 2000 expansion was very significant, not only in scope, being the largest since the mall was established in 1968, but also in truly giving Plaza Las Américas a solid projection both within the national and international shopping-center industry,” Vissepó noted. Plaza Las Américas ranks among the top 15 leading super-regional malls in the country, according to 2009 statistics from the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC).

As one of the country’s leading super-regional malls, Plaza Las Américas is among esteemed company, including such top locations as Mall of the Americas in Minnesota (established in 1992, 2.8 million square feet), Aventura Mall in Florida (established in 1983, 2.4 million square feet), The Galleria in Texas (established in 1970, 2.3 million square feet), Ala Moana Shopping Center in Honolulu, Hawaii (established in 1959, 2.1 million square feet) and Oakbrook Center in Illinois (established in 1962, 2 million square feet)

The 2000 expansion, which lasted seven years, included: the construction of the access bridge for entry and exit to the mall from the De Diego Expressway; conversion of the former Woolworth, González Padín and JC Penney stores; the construction of Macy’s department store, still the only one on the island; and the construction of the five-story parking garage for 3,500 cars. Other improvements included new ceilings, fl oors and customized art and landscaping projects.

PROVEN NATIONAL STANDING

For decades, Plaza’s success formula as well as the success of its tenants was considered one of the industry’s best-kept secrets. Locally, the Fonalledas family has always kept a low profile regarding mall operations, while many of Plaza’s tenants kept their top-performing stores a secret to avoid potential competitors becoming interested in the local market.

As a true testament of Plaza Las Américas’ keen knowledge of the market and dominance within the shopping center industry, throughout the years the mall has continued to attract and retain the best local, national and international retailers.

Vissepó attributes the growth of Plaza Las Américas both locally and nationally to a combination of factors. Chief among them are extensive market knowledge, a creative approach to the mall’s ongoing leasing efforts, innovative marketing and sales strategies, top-notch industry security, remaining an engaged corporate citizen and constantly reinvesting in the mall.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt149/miguelpr91/9a343cdc.jpg

“Most importantly, as Plaza Las Américas has been under the same ownership since its establishment, its tradition of reinvestment in the future and its vision have had continuity throughout the decades,” Vissepó said.

At 2.1 million square feet of retail space Plaza Las Américas ranks 12th among the country’s largest 25 regional malls. However, Plaza’s average sales per square foot of $750, excluding anchor tenants and fringe stores, are substantially higher than the national average of $356 per square foot, making it one of the most profitable malls in the country.

Like most super-regional malls, Plaza Las Américas derives its traffi c mostly from the surrounding primary and secondary markets around the shopping center. In Puerto Rico, 82% of Plaza’s visitors come from the mall’s primary and secondary markets that represent 2.2 million residents, roughly 50% of the island’s population. The average number of visits per person to Plaza every month is 4.8 compared with the 2.9 mainland benchmark.

“Length of visit is yet another important benchmark criteria we evaluate,” Vissepó said. “At Plaza, customers’ average length of visit is 108 minutes, nearly double the average 63 minutes of stateside shoppers to comparable malls.”

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt149/miguelpr91/76804af9.jpg

Consistently, Plaza Las Américas also is home to the top performing stores of national and international retail chains. The JC Penney, Sears, Macy’s, Walgreens, Hugo Boss, Mango, Zara, Sephora and Borders outlets, among many more stores at Plaza, consistently rank among the top 5% of best-performing stores in their respective chains in the U.S.

“Plaza Las Américas is a very special mall. Not just because it is, as they say, “the center of everything,” but also because it is one of the best showcases of modern Puerto Rico, the vibrancy of its people and the uniqueness of its culture,” said Nivea Santiago, senior vice president of Walgreens, whose store at Plaza has ranked among the top-performing locations of the chain from the moment it began operations less than a year ago.

The shopping center also dominates the Puerto Rican market in first-to-the-market and exclusive retailers. Seventy of the mall’s stores can be found only at Plaza. The only Macy’s, White House/Black Market, Mango, Zara, BCBG, Brookstone, Bose, Sephora, Build-A-Bear and Express women/men are complemented by Borders and Bebe, who opened their first Puerto Rican stores at Plaza.

The shopping center also includes a flagship Gap and Gap Body, Gap Kids and Baby Gap, Ann Taylor, Armani Exchange, Coach, Chico’s, Soma and Marciano, to name a few.

PLAZA’S NEW FAMILY MEMBERS

New stores at Plaza Las Américas represent a combination of retail categories from fashion to entertainment, services and restaurants, explained Rafael Ruiz-Comas, director of corporate leasing for the mall.

Combined investment from new retailers, store relocations and seasonal store openings represents an estimated investment of over $8.5 million, helping create about 300 new permanent jobs plus another 125 seasonal posts. All new stores and relocated retailers will be open before Black Friday (Nov. 26), adding eight new tenants to Plaza’s existing roster.

IS THERE STILL SPACE FOR LOCAL RETAILERS AT PLAZA?

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt149/miguelpr91/366e79ba.jpg

“Of course there is, but local retailers better be ready to rise to the highest industry standards Plaza Las Américas has established, not just for the mall, but also as a leading national shopping center,” pointed out Mike Nolla, a retail industry veteran.

“Industry experts have warned local retailers about the industry’s transformation for well over 10 years, encouraging them to reinvent themselves, seek out the latest technology to improve their business operations, find innovative ways to promote their products, identify underserved or emerging retail niches or else accept the idea they’d have to disappear,” Nolla said. “That is the difference between a now-defunct Almacenes Rodríguez [a local retail shoe chain] and a Novus shoestore chain [the island’s leading shoe retailer owned and operated by the local Castellón family].

“Not only has Novus reinvented themselves, they sought out new market niches within their shoe segment, new marketing strategies and the latest technology to reach customers. Certainly two similar stories, two totally different outcomes.”

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt149/miguelpr91/579e7338.jpg

Carlos Vázquez, owner of Diamonds, said, “When I first decided to open at Plaza, many people felt it was a risky endeavor, as if I was trying for ‘the major leagues’ of retail with my first store. But I have also known Plaza is where I wanted to be. As a small retailer, I stay current with the latest industry trends. Despite difficult economic times, hard work and a good retail concept always yield results at Plaza Las Américas.”

“We estimate that 70% of the stores at Plaza are owned and/or operated by local entrepreneurs, versus approximately 30% of the tenants that belong to national or international investors or owner-operators,” Ruiz-Comas said. “The success of our long-term tenants truly lies in their ability to constantly reinvest in themselves, staying current with industry trends and staying in touch with their customers.”

Take the Castellón group, which established one Novus store and today currently operates four stores in the mall, including La Favorita, a unique shoe store and a longtime Puerto Rican retail tradition,” he said. “Or Marie Helen Reinhold, who established a small jewelry boutique and has since relocated and expanded the store to become an internationally recognized retailer within the jewelry industry.”

Store founder Marie Helen Reinhold said, “To a great extent, Reinhold Jewelers owes Plaza Las Américas the success we have experienced for decades. More than a retail location, our Plaza store has served as an excellent fashion laboratory, allowing me the opportunity to showcase the work of some of the best jewelry designers from around the world.”

A JUGGLING ACT

Already home to the most recognized local, national and international retail names in the market, industry observers and prospective retailers always speculate about the best way to land a coveted spot at Plaza Las Américas.

For Ruiz-Comas, who has worked with Plaza’s leasing team for 11 years, maintaining the mall’s tenant mix is a juggling act.

“Plaza’s tenant mix is the result of an ongoing exercise of carefully striking a balance between what customers want, emerging trends and staying relevant to the different groups of people that visit the mall every year. We don’t rush to secure new retailers on the basis of a sudden trend; those often fade away, and you may get stuck with a tenant that doesn’t fit the mall’s mix or your customers’ needs,” Ruiz-Comas explained, adding times change and Plaza has changed with the times. “We are always looking ahead by keeping the pulse on what is happening, not just in Puerto Rico, but around the world, and when there is something exciting and new or a trend that you can anticipate will last, then we are very proactive in our approach.”

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt149/miguelpr91/2d785a83.jpg

For example, 10-15 years ago, home fashions and accessories were found at either small sections within department stores or as freestanding home stores, usually not in shopping centers. Nowadays, the category of home fashions, furniture and do-it-yourself home decor accounts for an entire new retail segment. Stores like Habitat, Modernica, Pottery Barn, west elm and expanded home fashion departments at major stores help meet the needs of that growing category.

“Technology is another area that has truly impacted the shopping center industry: from signage, store designs, merchandising to mall security, achieving greater operational efficiencies and the entire management of environmental considerations,” Ruiz-Comas explained, adding that when it comes to technology, Plaza also has stayed on the cutting edge by incorporating the latest developments in mall security systems and water- and energy-conservation equipment, and attracting retailers of cutting-edge technology.

Plaza’s leasing chief admits the company remains constantly on the lookout for the next hottest retailer or entertainment trend, but it has no shortage of retail offers.

However, as Plaza Las Américas is one of the most sought-after malls in the country, some retailers may have to wait years before they can find their way in. Such is the case with children’s store Build-A-Bear, which waited six years to open its first store in Puerto Rico; Sephora, which considered the Puerto Rico market only if it could open at Plaza Las Américas; or Forever 21, which after a two-year wait, finally found the 21,000-square feet spot it wanted— occupying the former Galaxy Lanes spot in the food court area.

Ruiz-Comas said landing a retail spot in Plaza is also a matter of logistics.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt149/miguelpr91/77f7fd0d.jpg

“When you have a shopping center that has 2.1 million square feet, with most spaces leased and annual traffic of 26 million visitors, moving stores around or creating space for new tenants is not an easy task. Sometimes, we may have a new retailer, but the adequate space is not available or the space becomes available but it may take longer for the perfect retailer for that spot to come around,” he explained.

Retail industry consultant Nolla is quick to add, “It is also a matter of having a proven track record and capital to invest in a location that will be guaranteed to yield results. The shopping center industry has changed a lot during the past 10 years, and Plaza not only has changed alongside the industry, in most instances it has been at the forefront of those changes in the local market. For example, 10-12 years ago, a new tenant, with an attractive concept, could probably converse with Plaza to have access to the mall, but Plaza has reached a level of excellence within the industry that—without being arrogant—it truly doesn’t have to gamble with its retail spaces. It can afford to wait and find exactly the kind of retail concepts it needs to fit in with the rest of its tenant mix.”

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt149/miguelpr91/24b06eea.jpg

Most importantly, Nolla said, Plaza’s own track record of delivering results for its tenants affords them the opportunity to be extremely selective and look for those retailers that have a solid track record of performance, that bring a new element to the mall’s overall mix, a retailer that can add some excitement and exclusivity—something that can’t be found at other shopping centers.

“By the same token, when a retail concept doesn’t work or a retail category becomes less relevant, Plaza’s management won’t hesitate to make the necessary adaptations to the tenant mix,” Nolla said. “In many instances, Plaza’s successful track record in sales has prompted national retailers, shopping center owners and top shopping center developers to come to Puerto Rico to study Plaza Las Américas. Others, as in the case of Victoria’s Secret, had its real estate and new market executives attend the opening of Sephora at Plaza to have a sense of what it could mean to open the coveted lingerie store at the mall. The Victoria’s Secret folks couldn’t believe the first week’s response to Sephora and the fact that it continues to grow steadily, even during difficult economic times. The same can be said for Forever 21, Rooms To Go, Armani Exchange and many more, all opening to record-setting sales at Plaza.”

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt149/miguelpr91/28728351.jpg

Ruiz-Comas also looks at the mall’s temporary leasing program, currently with more than 50 concepts operating out of retail carts throughout the mall, for future Plaza tenants. In fact, several successful retailers, such as Valija Gitana, Lord Jim Leather and Crocs started at Plaza with a small-cart operation.

“We also take great pride in taking care of our tenant mix by maintaining our infrastructure and physical plant in excellent condition and working proactively to attract the types of retailers consumers want,” Vissepó said. “We rely on substantial market research, market trend analysis and innovative marketing strategies to stay current with the industry and effectively manage the challenging economic times we are living in.”

Fonalledas considers new stores and various new retail categories currently in Plaza’s pipeline to be part of the mall’s ongoing success formula, and therefore a highly guarded secret. It’s enough to say that the mall’s owners continuously monitor overall industry sales on the mainland and internationally by category and by specific retailers to anticipate new trends at Plaza.

As for the future of Plaza Las Américas, the sky is the limit, Fonalledas firmly believes.

New stores at Plaza Las Américas

Lola—From the BCBG group, aimed at the teenage demographic, the new hip store will occupy 3,209 square feet on the main level in part of what used to be the former Bora Bora store.

BCBG Generation—Located in the west hallway between JC Penney and Macy’s, the new 2,586-square-foot BCBG Generation store carries an urban-eclectic merchandise mix for college-aged customers.

Totto—With more than 200 stores in Latin America, Totto is one of the newest international retailers at Plaza. With a 1,000-square-foot retail space, the Colombian store’s merchandise packs a lot of punch with high-tech and colorful backpacks, handbags, briefcases and accessories.

Pandora—Already opened, the modern handmade jewelry boutique is inspired by namesake jewelry pieces crafted in Thailand. The privately owned company was founded in Copenhagen in 1982 and operates more than 10,000 locations in 40 cities across six continents.

Abercrombie & Fitch (A&F)—With 10,152 square feet, A&F is the most exciting retail addition to the local market in 2010. Founded in New York, A&F has been a leading outfitter of sporting and excursion goods, delivering signature casual luxury designs and attracting attention with its provocative, over-the-top-sexy advertising. A&F focuses on casual wear for consumers aged 18 through 22.

Also, Pizza Hut, with a 3,994-square-foot space in the third-level central atrium (adjacent to Argentine restaurant Tierra del Fuego), will sport a more formal design, while family-owned Faccio Pizza will open in the south hallway with 2,081 square feet.

To accommodate new stores, Plaza must also complete the relocation of another eight tenants, including Caché, BCBG, Clubman (former Euromoda space), Torrid, Sonie, Clarks, Wet Seal and Bora Bora (former Beau Gens salon space).

A handful of seasonal stores including Toys R’ Us Express and Almacén Navideño, the Puerto Rico Health Department and the Demographic Service Office complete the new additions.

“One of the most exciting additions to our seasonal tenant mix is Almacén Navideño, with everything the customer needs to decorate his or her home for the holidays,” noted Rafael Ruiz- Comas, director of corporate leasing for Plaza Las Américas. “Although we have seen similar stores in the market, this local tenant has done a superb job in selecting exquisite merchandising options at reasonable prices. There are ornaments here that can’t be found at any other store.”

Plaza Las Américas in shopping center battle

As Plaza Las Américas has evolved, it has become the target of many of its local competitors as well as the desired destination for many retailers. Since the proliferation of shopping centers during the late 1970s through most of the 1980s, the local shopping center industry has been spared major legal battles among developers or existing shopping center owners.

However, in what many deem an unprecedented move by Plaza Las Américas, the mall recently filed a lawsuit to derail construction of a mixed-use shopping center in Guaynabo by the Venezuelan conglomerate Sambil to the tune of $414 million.

The retail-tourism complex, according to approval documents from the Puerto Rico Planning Board, would feature 567,000 square feet of retail space with more than 300 stores, movie theaters, a food court and six casual dining restaurants. In addition, the Sambil project contemplates the construction of a 200-guestroom hotel, an additional 200,000 square feet of office space and 180 residential units.

Notwithstanding the economic development prospects outlined in the Sambil development, Plaza’s lawsuit alleges that after five years of a deepening homegrown economic recession, the local market doesn’t have the conditions to support another shopping center. It goes on to say that proceeding with construction also would endanger the area’s environmental resources. Construction on the Sambil project was originally scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2011; the local developer vows to continue with construction of the new shopping center as planned.

Retail industry experts interviewed by CARIBBEAN BUSINESS agree that while the concept of the Sambil project is very attractive, and the Sambil group has a very successful track record in the shopping center and retail industry in their native Venezuela, this may not be the best time for the local economy to welcome yet another large shopping center without affecting the existing surrounding malls.

Although Plaza is, so far, the only shopping center seeking reconsideration from the Planning Board on the matter, if built, the Sambil project would impact other shopping centers, such as San Patricio Plaza, Plaza Caparra, Plaza Guaynabo, as well as Montehiedra Town Center, Las Catalinas Mall (Caguas) and Caguas Centro.

“While technically the argument can be made that there is space for several more shopping centers, the island’s population is not growing,” explained veteran retail industry executive Mike Nolla. “In fact, it is aging rapidly, which in the future will have an impact on the buying power of its residents and thus will impact the shopping center and retail industry.”

On the other hand, Plaza’s legal action against Sambil might have prompted New Century Development, developers of the future Plaza Internacional, to be located on the former grounds of the Panamerican Village near the Teodoro Moscoso bridge, to decide to strike against Plaza by filing a lawsuit for allegedly showing a pattern of harassment against potential new competitors and specifically trying to derail the Plaza Internacional development. Plaza Internacional would add another 500,000 square feet of retail space and, according to original plans, would also incorporate a casino. Jaime Fonalledas, president of Plaza Las Américas, declined to comment on either lawsuit, citing the company’s policy against commenting on ongoing legal matters.

The Fonalledas family, however, is no stranger to this type of controversy. In the 1990s, it was the target of a 12-year lawsuit against its mixed-use Plaza Monterrey development in Dorado, filed by a competitor. After 12 years, the Fonalledas project prevailed; however, the market conditions had changed so drastically that the company has been revisiting the original plans and evaluating market conditions to determine the most viable way to reinitiate thatproject.

Plaza’s Christmas lights & music spectacular kicks-off new holiday tradition

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt149/miguelpr91/390c6d92.jpg

The holiday season has arrived at Plaza Las Américas with the unveiling of its new “Luces y Ritmos Navideños en Plaza” (Plaza’s Christmas Lights & Sounds) show, scheduled to take place Nov. 12, CARIBBEAN BUSINESS learned. The new lights and music show is the largest ticket item in this year’s holiday investment from Plaza Las Américas, which typically represents 30% of the mall’s annual advertising budget.

The music and lights spectacular was created by stateside firm Parker 3D, the industry’s leading authority in synchronized and interactive music and light shows for institutional venues such as shopping centers, hotels and casinos. Maestro Cucco Peña was in charge of the music production and direction, delivering three traditional music medleys totaling a little over nine minutes.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt149/miguelpr91/61e5a281.jpg

The three medleys, featuring some of the most popular villancicos (Puerto Rico’s Christmas carols), traditional parranda tunes and other Puerto Rican classics, were carefully choreographed with Christmas tree decorations and other ornaments illuminated to the beat of the popular songs.

“This has been one of the most exciting projects Parker 3D has been involved in,” John Carter, president of Parker 3D, said during an exclusive interview, adding that technicians from four countries and eight states participated in the production of the show. “This was a great challenge for us, as well. Not only as our first project outside the continental U.S., but also as the first one featuring Latin music. The beats and rhythms are so amazing and uplifting, giving those watching a joyful experience.”

Prior to joining Parker 3D, Carter was known in the retail industry for being the creative architect of the lights and designs for all the holiday windows along New York’s renowned Fifth Avenue retail district. From Macy’s and Saks Fifth Avenue to Henry Bendel, Carter designed them all.

http://i606.photobucket.com/albums/tt149/miguelpr91/f1434373.jpg

The firm’s interactive Christmas light programs became the country’s hottest sensation when their then-competitor, Carson Williams, the original creator of the computerized lights system that delivers interactive designs with music, joined Parker 3D. Since then, Williams continues to design all the Parker 3D light shows, including the one at Plaza Las Américas. Parker 3D’s creations have been featured in such top national shows as NBC’s TODAY show, Inside Edition and CBS News.

Lorraine Vissepó, director of communications for Empresas Fonalledas, sister company of Plaza Las Américas, said: “We are thrilled about the “Luces y Ritmos Navideños en Plaza” show. We set out to create a new holiday tradition for our visitors, and one that also represented Puerto Rico’s rich holiday traditions. We are certain that Puerto Rican families, as well as mall visitors, will adopt the new music and lights spectacular as a new family tradition of their own. Proceeds from the sales of the music CD, featuring the exciting music of the show, will be donated to the Plaza Las Américas Foundation, dedicated to supporting children from economically disadvantaged communities.”

Some interesting facts about this year’s show include: 66,350 LED lights for illumination, 25 miles of copper wire, 3,000 watts of sonic power and 180 watts to power the installation.

It is obvious that Plaza is going to use this news as a way to convince skeptics about the so called dangers of Sambil and Plaza Internacional. It is a bit disconcerting that CB offers itself for this fiasco. I mean, this is not a late day news report. This is pretty much a freaking white paper on Plaza! And as far as I remember, companies pay for White Papers, Webinars and promotions of this nature.

Hasta el momento Plaza es el segundo Mall mas Grande en Sao Paolo brasil esta el de mayor pietaje en la region. Sin embargo plaza vende mucho mas por pie cuadrado que el de Brasil. Si todo se da como se dice en santo domingo se construye en mall mas grande de toda latinoamerica Agora Mall. Yo no se si se dara o se terminara pero se vislumbra como el mas grande en Tamano. Ahora que tenga mas tiendas y de renombre como plaza mas Nunca. Hasta este momento el gran mall de lujo Blue Mall en Santo domingo es lo mas nuevo que tienen en la Republica.

Yo no se cuantas veces tendre que desmentir lo de Agora Mall. Plaza Las Americas es mas grande que Agora Mall. Agora Mall tiene entre 1.3 millones y 1.4 millones de p/c de CONSTRUCCION ya que la info varia, no de espacio comercial el cual es mucho menos y 1,400 espacios de estacionamiento y 180 locales comerciales. Plaza Las Americas nada mas tiene casi 11,000 espacios de estacionamiento, mas de 300 tiendas y sobre 2.1 millones de p/c de espacio comercial. El espacio de construccion de Plaza debe ser considerablemente mayor.

Plaza Las Américas: 203.000m2

Interlagos, São Paulo: 145.000m2

Santa Fé, Ciudad de México: 125.000m2

Lo de Sambil y Agora es una total mentira,

yo estuve viendo fotos de ambos proyectos y en nada se acercan a Plaza Las Americas, ni a Plaza Internacional.

De hecho gran parte del espacio de dichos centro comerciales es parking.

Jaykar
June 7th, 2011, 03:39 AM
Ese es el problema. En America Latina cuando construyen un centro comercial y dicen cuan grande es incluye toda la construccion. En Estados Unidos usualmente solo dicen el pietaje comercial no el pietaje total de la construccion y ahi entran los problemas con los rankings.

En el caso de Sambil Guaynabo, los estudios de viabilidad te hablan de ambos, el pietaje total y el pietaje comercial y que casualidad que es una compañia Latinoamericana construyendo en territorio estadounidense. A eso se debe la informacion de ambos pietajes.

Yo no entiendo cómo es que hay gente que se queja de que Plaza las Américas es muy pequeño--puede parecer pequeño, pero es probable que sea por lo siguiente:

- muchas tiendas anclas (Sears, JC Penney y Macy's como las principales, Toy's R Us, Pueblo, Rooms to Go, K-Mart, Office Max y quizás Border's como secundarias), y de paso BIEN grandes las principales (JC Penney más grande del mundo, no sé de las demás)

- muchos restaurantes

- una torre de oficinas


Ahora, que no tenga muchas de las tiendas que algunas personas quieren, que todo el espacio interior sea todo continuo o que las oficinas y las tiendas ancla ocupen demasiado espacio es otra cosa.

Jaykar
July 2nd, 2011, 04:33 PM
En parte tambien puede ser el hecho de que Kmart, Rooms To Go, Pueblo, Office Max, Toys R'Us y Sears Centro Automotriz no estan conectados directamente con el resto del mall. Son free standings y la otra razon pues ya tu la mencionaste. El tamaño gigante de muchas tiendas. Sears, JCPenney y Macy's, solo esas tres tiendas tienen mas pietaje comercial que todos los centros comerciales de Puerto Rico y del Caribe menos por Plaza mismo, Plaza Carolina, Mayagüez Mall y Plaza Centro.

July 2nd, 2011, 09:46 PM
A mi en lo particular no me parece nada de peque~o ... todo lo contrario. Si te enfocas un dia en entrar a todas y cada una de las tiendas y entretenerte buscando algo, te va a tomar casi un dia visitar los tres pisos y todas las tiendas ... no le veo nada de peq.

Donde se encontraba Penney's. Ahora es elatrio central con las velas gigantes colgando del techo y las escaleras electricas que suben al tercer nivel "nuevo".

En la foto, directamente a la derecha, esta la entrada de Penney's (el "JC" vino mas tarde). Hoy es la entrada delpasillo que lleva al nuevo local de JCP y, he hecho, es donde esta ahora el centro de informacion de Plaza.



PLA no se parece en nada en esa foto a como es ahora, wow.

No realmente; Florsheim y Naviera estuvieron ahi hasta hace poco y, aparte del techo las columnas de la derecha, se puede fotografiar y es todavia reconocible:
