Five Points Mall Redevelopment

JPR provided conceptual and master planning services for a significant redevelopment project in the City of Marion. The project encompassed the entire mall campus, an industrial site to the south, and numerous surrounding collateral retail and business properties. The Plan recommended that under-performing or vacant sites be made shovel ready for new business, and old energy-inefficient and high energy-consuming buildings be demolished with materials recycled whenever possible.

The redevelopment concept included reconfiguring roadways and access points, designing signal-controlled intersections, two roundabouts, significant parking lot upgrades, lighting, and landscaping. The project employed innovative concepts for stormwater management that helped the City to achieve their long-term clean water goals. JPR also provided multiple concepts, 3-D images, project phasing plans, project cost estimates, funding models and a detailed partnering framework. Careful funding coordination was needed as this project is within a sales tax capture zone (CReED District) and a tax increment finance (TIF) district.
