Princeton Shopping Center is considered an early example of thetown center-style retail property. Designed as a "California-style"mall and completed in 1956, the center consists of six one- andtwo-story buildings arranged around a two-acre rectangular villagegreen-style courtyard. "It's a haven for area residents and astaple in the community," says a spokesman for Rosen Johnson.

Working with George Comfort president Peter Duncan and EVP DanaComfort, Rosen Johnson has designed a renovation plan that includesa general renovation of the buildings and grounds. "Taller,illuminated sign bands conceal rooftop equipment and provide amplespace for the merchants' logos," says the architect'sspokesman.

The sign bands are being coordinated with tenant signage anddirectional graphics. Also, the entrance portal on N. Harrison St.is being treated with new lighting and signage. A new vaultedskylight will illuminate a once-dark passageway from the entranceto the central lawn, and perimeter walkways and breezeways betweenbuildings are being upgraded.
