GENERAL SHOPPING CENTER RENOVATION CONCEPT PROGRAM
Background
Evanston Plaza Shopping Center had been in decline for before it was
purchased late in 1998 by Evanston Plaza L.L.C. after extended negotiation and
due diligence. The Center declined because bankruptcies and consolidations in
the retail industry affected a significant number of tenants, reducing rental
income and payments to common area maintenance and taxes.
In addition to having a large number of vacant stores, the Center has a high level
of deferred maintenance. The combination of reduced cash flow and major
repair/replacement requirements make the rehabilitation program complex,
economically marginal and therefore very risky.
The Applicant's principal objective is to revive the Center and give it an entirely
new image and retail function. This will make it economically viable and better
able to serve its neighborhood and community. The Applicant proposes to
• improve the Property through rehabilitation and retenanting of existing buildings
and spaces, rehabilitation of and in -fill additions to site landscaping, rehabilitation
of the parking lot and drives, and replacement of the pylon signs.
The Applicant has planned and organized the improvement program to attract
quality tenants, including a new Dominick's Food Store. The Applicant_ has strong
relationships with.national and local retail tenants and will lease space to an
appropriate mix of such tenants.
In order to accomplish the improvement program, the Applicant must organize a
construction program that involves specific costs for goods and services, some of
which are "ordinary" costs of shopping center rehabilitation, and some of which
are "extraordinary" costs.
Ordinary costs are those which reasonably recur in project -after -project, while
extraordinary costs are those Which are unique to a project or the vicinity of a
project.
The Applicant can finance the project through conventional sources to cover
ordinary costs, but without additional resources the Applicant has no way to
finance the extraordinary cost items. The Applicant has explored all means to
cover the extraordinary costs, and, finding no other financing sources, is turning
• to the City of Evanston to explore the potential for establishing a Sales Tax
Rebate Program to support the rehabilitation of this important community
shopping center.
Physical Improvement Plan and Proaram (Refer to Site Plan Exhibit) •
Areas Scheduled for Basic Cleaning, Repair and Interior Renovation
• The north -south leg of the Center will not be changed in either configuration
or area. There will be interior changes to relocate demising walls and to
renovate spaces for new tenants. Several of the existing tenants — including
Franks Nursery and Crafts — will remain.
• The building at the corner of Dempster and Dodge and its current occupant —
Kids 'R' Us -- will remain.
• The small building along Dodge formerly occupied by Pizza Hut will remain
but will be re -tenanted.
• Most of the existing landscaping will be preserved and repaired, although the
location of some parking lot landscaping will be changed.
Area Scheduled for Environmental Remediation
An area in the southwest corner of the parking lot in front of the stores has
significant lead contamination. The degree and general extent of the
contamination has been assessed and a remediation program plan has been
prepared. Work will be completed in accordance with the Revised —
Remediation Action Plan (RRAP) approved by the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency (IEPA). Remediation will be undertaken in phases to
minimize disruption to existing business operations.
Areas in the Center Scheduled for Major Exterior and Interior Renovation
• The three buildings running east -west at the south end of the Center
will undergo extensive internal and external renovation:
• A new Dominick's Store (57,950 SF) will be developed within the
building formerly occupied by Toys 'R' Us and a portion of the space
currently occupied by Office Depot. A new fagade for the food store
will be constructed across the front of these spaces.
•. Office Depot will remain but will shrink from 40,000 SF to 27,000 SF.
• The 18,900 SF space formerly owned by Fretted Silo will be
refurbished and retenanted.
• New landscaping materials will be added in appropriate locations.
• The entire parking lot will be resurfaced following completion of the
environmental remediation program. This will include some revisions to
parking lot landscaping and lighting.
• New pylon signs will be installed. The design of these signs and all new
building signs will be consistent with an over-all signage plan for the Center.
[NOTE: THOSE ACTIVITIES SHOWN IN BOLD ABOVE ARE THE
CATEGORIES WITHIN WHICH THE "ELIGIBLE PROJECT COSTS" •
WILL BE INCURRED. SEE EXHIBIT "F ]
