was imperative and fundamental to the design that both buildings have direct and secure access to the parking .
The Original Centre Apart from the anchor tenant , the original centre was at least half vacant with value type tenants positioned on the main pedestrian route that passed through the mall , which was used by passing commuters as a short cut covered access from the main road to Cavendish Square and beyond . The centre looked and felt old and neglected and out of company with the dominant and successful Cavendish Square centre across the road . Both centres were divided by Dreyer Street which housed an unregulated street traders market .
Tenant Quality Controls In keeping with the successful precedent established at Cavendish Square , the tenant quality control was rigorously monitored with established rules and process established as part of the leasing processes . Accompanying the lease document are the tenant design criteria which establish the criteria in respect of shopfronts , displays , installation and signage . The document is specifically designed to achieve a freedom of designs for each tenant that adds variety appropriate to the store type but achieves an acceptable standard of finishes and design .
Conditions prior to Renovation The Cavendish Connect building had a wellestablished service infrastructure in respect of mechanical plant , electrical power , soil and waste infrastructure , but was lacking flexibility and expansion capacity . The structure was fundamentally sound although the floor heights and column spacing were not designed to achieve a flexibility required for an adaptable retail environment .
