Century Shopping Centre
This large-scale Lakeview area mall renovation of the Century Shopping Center, which began as a vaudeville theater in the 1920’s and turned into a shopping mall in the 1970’s, required remarkable innovation and meticulous coordination by Leopardo. Renovating this building while the shopping center remained open required careful orchestration and some creative moves. Imagine threading a tower crane down through open skylights, sequentially removing the sixth floor and the roof or spanning hanging escalators across the open atrium while shoppers wander below.
- 129,000-SF, seven-story vertical mall renovation
- Positioned tower crane in atrium, with foundation in basement
- Installation of high-rise elevators and transversing atrium escalators
- Renovated the first through fourth shopping center floors

- State-of-the-art renovation of the Landmark’s Century Centre Cinema on floors five through seven, which included seven screens and stadium seating
- The small auditoriums were decorated in a neo-art deco style
- The ornate baroque Terracotta facade was cleaned, restored and given new signage
- Relocated seven tenants within the building
- Reinforced existing building columns through tenant spaces

Retail HomeLeopardo always strives for perfection, but I can't think of any single area in which Leopardo's service can be improved. They set the standard on quality for our Minute Clinic program across the country.

Just the other day, the general manager from Donald Trump's building called and asked us who we used on our build-out. I told him Leopardo and I also said I would not hesitate to use them again.

From the bidding and permitting process to the final punch list, your staff was a pleasure to work with. I am completely satisfied with both the quality of work and the timetable in which the job was finished. Even with the condensed schedule, Leopardo completed the job with virtually no punch list!
