Hermès, Palm Beach

PALM BEACH, FL

Pictured above is the Worth Avenue Hermès store located in the center of the historic Palm Beach shopping district. At the request of Hermès of Paris and Tiffany & Co., Metropolitan was contracted to develop a corner parcel for the development of the prestigious retailers.

Hiring local architects and consultants, Metropolitan was able to completely build facilities for both retailers in less than eight months from conception to final store opening. The process included the difficult task of review and approval of the Palm Beach Historical Commission and building under the restriction of limited construction hours before the winter shopping season.

Watkins Center

MIDLOTHIAN, VA

Metropolitan Partnership, Ltd. undertook the development of a 926,000 sf lifestyle retail center in 2004 as an assemblage, master plan, and design of 505 acres of raw land in the western suburbs of Richmond, Virginia. The mixed-use project included office, retail, hotel, and residential components, and required the creation of a Community Development Authority in 2006 for the purpose of financing infrastructure improvements for roads, water, sewer, storm sewer, grading, and engineering.

Metropolitan acted as the lead developer of the lifestyle retail center that incorporated four major sub-developments within the district. Metropolitan also acted as master planner and lead developer in the design and planning of three components including office, hotel, and retail uses. The fourth component in the mix was 1,600 residential units adjacent to the development.
