If you've visited Park Royal
South in the past two months,
you will have noticed extensive
changes, particularly to the sec-
ond level where The Fashion
Gallery is evolving into its own
unique area of the shopping
cenire. “We are continuing to
create very separate and distinct
precincts within the shopping
centre,” explains Park Royal
Director Rick Amantea. “The
Fashion Gallery is the latest
precinct to unfold.”

The Fashion Gallery
will house some of the better
recognized, midtoupper scale
fashion retailers. (See New Kids
on The Block in this issue.) The
area will be very unique in terms
ofarchitecture. “we'llhave very
high quality, upscale finishes
such as new skylights, an
exciting new floor treatment, cafe
tables, new lighting, and fresh,
new looks tothe tenants’
storefronts,” reports Amantea.
The Fashion Gallery willalso
feature anew elevator and an
open stairwell located next
to Eaton's that will connect the
main and second levels.

“For all intent and
purposes,” sayS Amantea,
“The Fashion Gallery wiil be
completely different from what
was previously there. It is our
objective to make this an
area where the more fashion
conscious, more sophisticated
shopper can spend time, in
some of the same stores now
foundin the better fashion.
districts in Vancouver, but ina.
climate-controlled environment.”

On the North Mali, we are
completing the last major
segment of the revitalization
and that is, the “retiling” of the
entire Mall. The new flooring
tile is an exciting, contemporary
blend of earth tones and will be
complemented by new and
more comfortable furnishings.
While this may sound like a big
job (and itis) the laying of the
new tile is very clean and quiet.
Access to all of the stores and
the shopping centre willin no
way be restricted.

In our nextissue of Park _
Royal Today, we'll focus on Park
Royal's planned interactive,
computerized directory system.
With the touch ofa finger, it will
point you in the direction of the
store or service you require. 4
