Prior to P&W and Gensler... BTW, both of them were just decorating the plan that I/we handed off to them... I was with a relatively small firm that I warned the stake holders that there was no way in hell that a publicly traded firm like Mills was going to ultimately let finish the project... and alas, that is what happened
Also, I too have to stress (along with LVDW) that if my initial concept was actually executed, It would make a huge difference to the traffic inside that mall which is really the first step in retail success...
