Shopping Center Construction
CMIC builds attractive, modern shopping centers nationwide where customers love to spend their time and money.
A Comfortable Space for Your Customers
CMIC builds shopping centers nationwide, places where business happens, whether that's shopping till you drop or indulging in light retail therapy with friends. We work with clients, architects, and retailers to create modern, attractive malls that customers want to spend time and money in.
Scope like this is usually priced alongside our Retail Remodeling team, so estimating, permitting and field work all stay under one contract with one accountable point of contact.

Our Approach
When the drawings still need work at this stage, our Mixed Use Development group resolves it before the budget is locked, which is the last point where a change is still free to make.
Challenges of Shopping Center Construction
Malls are greater than the sum of their individual stores, making them complex projects. Builders must construct them to satisfy each retailer's requirements while creating a uniform look across the whole property, all while maximizing customer engagement across the various stores.
- Individual tenant criteria met without breaking the center's look
- Shared utilities, parking, and access planned for every storefront
- Phased work that keeps open tenants trading through construction
Types of Shopping Centers
Shopping centers come in all configurations and sizes, indoor and outdoor. Commercial architects must customize each project to fit the needs of the community and the retailers moving in, and a builder's hands-on experience with multi-tenant commercial construction is vital to a mall's future success.
- Neighborhood, community, and regional centers of every size
- Outlet malls, fashion centers, and specialty retail destinations
- Themed and festival centers built around the local community
