Project manage design and construction of a shopping complex for a community of 20,000 residents.

PART A)

Introduction

This project, we will be designing a simple shopping mall using object oriented technology. The mall will provide a soothing shopping experience for customers, while at the same time allowing us to explore design patterns and other features object oriented technology. Mall will provide a single roof for various shops. The mall performs the creation of a set of different shops, such as a book store, a shoe store, etc. The mall greets an arriving customer, performs authentication for him/her and allocates him/her the shopping cart. Mall presents the customer with a list of different stores available and allows the customer to shop at any of stores in the mall. The shopping mall does not only include shops and franchises but also provide residence to almost 20,000 people. It is a multi duplex complex.

Site Description

The Shopping Center is located in the center of the neighborhood, approximately 7.7 miles south of the Darlington road in Sydney. The shopping center is at the intersection of 103rd and Grandee Streets, not far from the McDonald town, and across from the Sydney train station—the rail lines for the Southern Pacific Railroad run parallel to Grandee, and the intersection is slated to become the future site of a light rail transit station. The majority of the area surrounding the site is single-family residential. A relatively new medical center is located across 103rd Street. A community municipal complex, dubbed "Watts's city hall" by the residents, is located down the street from the shopping center and includes: a park, a post office, a fire station, the field office for the council representative, and a field office for the redevelopment agency as well as other city agency offices. A parochial school is behind phase one and adjacent to phase two of the shopping center.

Economic Analysis

CRA's original development plan for the shopping center included the rehabilitation of an existing office building, financial assistance to small business tenants, and community involvement in the design and administration of the project. CRA owned the land and initially planned to act as the general administrator; upon completion, it would turn ownership over to the developer, who would manage the center. In 1980, CRA found a nonprofit development corporation with experience in industrial development to begin construction of the shopping center. The developer finished what is now called phase one approximately 18,000 square-feet (GLA). Unfortunately, two major tenants—one the anchor, a regional supermarket chain—pulled out of the project prior to the development of phase two.

In mid-1983 after preliminary meetings between CRA, the developer, and a local supermarket, the CRA asked Hagen Development to consider taking over the development of phase two; the CRA was familiar and impressed with the firm's track record at the Vermont-Slauson site and felt that a successful completion was more likely to occur under ...
