413 Community Shopping Center

A community shopping center is typically an intermediate group or cluster of stores (also called a plaza). It is generally a much larger and better-designed project than a neighborhood center. It usually supports at least one major anchor. Typical anchors in a community center include secondary or junior department or retail-discount stores and major restaurant buildings.

Shopping center costs are for the strip or plaza buildings only and include all necessary plumbing and electrical connections to provide for the operation of the satellites, including service areas. Trade fixtures and equipment pertinent to individual tenants are not included. The costs represent group averages of a typical mix of tenants (excluding major anchor occupancies). The following are normally commensurate with the quality and type of anchors they support: The mix of general occupancies found within a center, the display or decorative storefronts, and the canopy-mansard overhang or ornamentation.

This occupancy includes both shell and tenant improvement costs. To price each separately (using two separate occupancies in two separate sections), use the following occupancies:

461 Shell, Community Shopping Center

991 Interior Space, Community Shopping Center
