Parque Shopping Meceio
BrazilCompany Name: Classic Gesso Construção Civil
Project description
The mall has 200 stores, many of them not found in the city, as well as a food court, two separate restaurants, modern movie theatres and about 2,000 parking spaces, totalling more than 37,576 square metres of gross leasable area (GLA). The arrival of a project of this nature generates several benefits to Alagoas, not only through the creation of jobs, but also through the development of the wider region around the shopping centre. The term of only 11 months for the implementation and project challenges (such as the difficulties in the vertical transport of materials and access to areas of installation) required detailed planning to be carried out for each step in order to maintain the schedule and fidelity to the complex architecture with several curves, moldings and angled vertical panels. The biggest challenges included the ceiling height of the food court which was 17 metres, as well as the restructuring and installation of reinforcements in the areas affected by luminaries, facilities, speakers, air-conditioning, vents etc.
