The retail industry moves quickly and has experienced massive upheaval and change over the last decade.  Simon Property group is an international heavy weight in this arena and you would be hard pressed finding a more agile and calculated company in the industry.  Simon’s retail reach contains the traditional scope (clothing, department stores, etc…), but the demands of the consumer today have created more opportunities at existing properties (restaurants, living, meeting spaces, etc…).  Simon has chosen Cripe to be a trusted partner with many of these opportunities.  Cripe has provided architectural design services and tenant coordination for Simon at various locations across the United States.  Each project offers it’s own set of unique challenges.  These range from budget, scope, coordination, and special needs from various teams and representation.
