Description

MYCON completed a 450,000 SF renovation for Shops at Highland Village in Highland Village, Texas. The renovation and amenity upgrades have transformed the Shops at Highland Village into a vibrant, welcoming, and functional outdoor shopping center. The introduction of new public spaces, recreational amenities like the bocce ball court, and improved landscaping has fostered increased community engagement and social interaction. By preserving and relocating historic trees, MYCON demonstrated a commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship, aligning the project with modern sustainability standards and practices.

Modern, functional fireplaces were integrated into the shopping center’s design, providing visitors with cozy gathering spots during cooler months. Seating benches were strategically placed throughout the center to offer shoppers resting areas and enhance the pedestrian experience. An outdoor bocce ball court was constructed, adding a recreational and social activity for visitors. MYCON introduced a comprehensive hardscape design, incorporating walkways, plazas, and other paved areas to improve accessibility and aesthetics. Open and inviting public spaces were developed, encouraging community interaction, relaxation, and social gatherings. The existing parking lot was revamped to enhance functionality, traffic flow, and overall user experience, including improved lighting and signage.

The renovation project required the preservation of several historic trees located within the property. MYCON executed a meticulous process of excavating the entire root system of these trees and relocating them to different areas of the property. The trees were carefully transferred using a semi-truck, ensuring their survival and continued contribution to the site’s natural beauty and historical significance. Balancing the renovation’s modernization with the preservation of the property’s historic trees posed a significant challenge. MYCON’s expertise and innovative approach enabled the successful excavation, relocation, and preservation of these trees, maintaining the site’s unique character and heritage.

Conclusion

MYCON’s successful completion of the renovation and site amenity upgrades for the Shops at Highland Village exemplifies the company’s expertise in delivering high-quality, innovative, and sustainable construction solutions. Through meticulous planning, execution, and a commitment to preserving the property’s unique heritage, MYCON has revitalized the shopping center, enhancing its appeal, functionality, and overall visitor experience.
