Previous "Cultural Center" is not in original program and

appeared in Gensler SD package. The team has not
embraced this concept since it is not anticipated to be a
revenue generator or oft-visited venue.

A casual venue has been suggested by Owner as a

counterpoint to the Peacock Alley venue to provide a Peacock Alley
spot for quick 'to go' coffee, snacks, and beverages.

Culture Lounge proposes a concept to combine the

Sundries shop with the Gourmet Shop and Retail. TRANSITIONAL
