. History

According to Flores (2016)., e mall is the centerpiece project of SM Prime at the SM Central
Business Park, where five one-story buildings serve as the company's corporate offices (the sixth building
being occupied by TeleTech Holdings, Inc. as their flagship site in the country)

The SM Mall of Asia's design team includes Arquitectonica, design architect; Architect Robert
Carag Ong, Architect of Record, GHT Services, project manager, and Hilmarc's Construction Corp. (for
the South Parking Building, Main Mall, and Entertainment Mall) and Monolith Construction Development
Corp. (for the North Parking Building), general contractors.[citation needed]

The mall would have opened before Christmas Day of 2005 but had been delayed due to hitches in
the delivery of construction materials. Frequent rains in the last quarter of 2005 also delayed the turnover
of mall space to tenants. SM Prime decided to move the opening date to March 3, 2006.

Technical Data

Name: Americana at Brand

Location: Glendale, California

Owner: Caruso Affiliated

Architect: Romero Thorsen Design

History

According to the official website(2018)., The Americana project stirred debate in Glendale for four
years. Some merchants feared the Grove-style "lifestyle center" would diminish business at the stores along
Brand Boulevard and in the Glendale Galleria. Some residents worried about overdevelopment and traffic
congestion.

Both The Americana at Brand and The Grove are organized upon the idea of a city center—with a
mix of architectural styles, building heights and materials used, as well as vast open spaces at each project's
center. Caruso Affiliated often casts its developments in a particular milieu. The architectural style of the
Americana reflects the industrial era, with its massive elevator shaft with exposed steel beams, while The
Grove is reminiscent of 1940s Charleston, South Carolina.
