INTRODUCTION
Building Description
Water Tower Place is a mixed-use, cast-in-place concrete mega-structure built in 1975. It combines
eight floors of retail shopping, an office floor, the Drury Lane Theatre, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel and some
of Chicago’s premier residential condominiums. Located diagonally across Michigan Avenue from
Chicago’s Historic Water Tower, Water Tower Place is the best-known shopping destination in the
metropolitan area. It is the intent of these criteria to permit a wide range of design opportunities, to
encourage excitement in the retail environment and to maintain the high standards of retail design and
construction that have been a hallmark of Water Tower Place.
The building includes a diverse mix of Tenants that combine an entertainment factor as part of their
overall appeal. Minimum restraints are imposed on the Tenant’s creativity and imagination. However, the
Landlord reserves the right to reject any Tenant design proposals in part or in whole if it is determined
that they would not contribute to the design quality of Water Tower Place
Vision of the Design Team
Exciting and unique storefronts and merchandising designs create a shopping and entertaining
environment that attracts customers and results in increased sales. Tenants are encouraged to create
innovative and dramatic storefronts, shop interiors and graphics. Classic interior materials of marble,
chrome and brass create an ideal, neutral palate for great store design.

INTRODUCTION
Tenant Design Criteria Manual Introduction
The requirements of this Manual are referenced and included in Tenant leases, and has been prepared
to guide you, as well as your architect, store designer, and contractor in guiding the expediting the
design and construction of your lease premises. This information describes the Landlord’s obligations,
the Tenant’s design responsibilities, and the Contractor’s requirements.
General Design Criteria pertaining to storefront design, materials, colors, signage, interiors and lighting
must be addressed by all Tenants. In addition, stores must adhere to specific criteria which are
determined by their location and their specific architectural context. In this way, each store will be
reviewed on an individual basis in context to ensure diverse and creative design solutions.
Through the criteria in this Manual, the Landlord has set certain quality and design standards, which will
help the Tenants to create stores that are compatible with the overall design quality of Water Tower
Place. The General Growth encourages designs that shall add richness to the built environment.
Nationally or regionally recognized merchants may creatively interpret these criteria as it applies to their
prototype design.
The Tenant Print Package (“Print Package”) consists of:
x
Tenant Design Criteria Manual
x
Exhibits A, A-1, B or Lease Outline Drawing (L.O.D.)
x
Record drawings of the previous Tenant build-out (if available)
The lease agreement requires that all Tenant plans be prepared by an architect and engineer(s) licensed
by the State of Illinois. Tenants are encouraged to retain an architect familiar with the City of Chicago’s
Self Certification Process. Contact the Tenant Coordinator for information for contacts of firms that can
offer this service.

Prior to starting construction, the Tenant shall prepare and submit a preliminary design package (2 sets)
and subsequently a final submission package (3 sets) for review and approval.
Submissions are to be made to General Growth Tenant Coordination.
Preliminary Design Submission
The preliminary design submission should communicate the design intent to the Tenant Coordinator.
Drawings submitted shall include a comprehensive floor plan, ceiling plan, storefront elevations, interior
elevations and necessary wall sections. Color renderings, representative photos and material sample
boards should be prepared. Documents in compliance with the Tenant Design Criteria will have the best
opportunity for a prompt review and approval returned to the Tenant.
Final Submission
The final submission shall consist of complete project construction drawings and specifications.
Reference the Architectural and Engineering Design Criteria for drawing requirements.
Final Design Approval
Landlord, upon final review and approval of the final submission, shall forward to the Tenant (1) one
copy of the documents with the Landlord’s comments and conditions of approval in paper or digital
format. Tenant’s contractor shall have one (1) Landlord-approved set at the job site at all times and may
not commence work until said approved plans are physically within the demised premises.
Code Requirements
It is the Tenant’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all relevant codes, obtain all approvals, acquire
all permits, and pay all fees in connection therewith. Landlord’s review of Tenant submittals does not
signify review and/or approval of the submittals for code compliance. It is the Tenant and/or Tenant’s
architect who shall be solely responsible for compliance with applicable code requirements.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CRITERIA
Acoustic Considerations
Landlord construction has been designed to provide general protection to guard against typical sound
and vibration transmission between spaces.
Tenant is responsible to ensure that sound generated in their premises produce no more sound that
transmits through the Landlord’s demising wall and floor structure design. If, in the Landlord’s opinion,
additional sound attenuation is needed to sufficiently isolate sound from within the demised premises,
Tenant shall design and provide sound attenuation as required.
Existing Construction within the Premises
All existing conditions shall be verified by the Tenant. Failure to verify the existing conditions shall not
relieve Tenant of any expenses or responsibilities resulting from that failure. It is the responsibility of the
Tenant to field check all dimensions, utilities, locations and conditions prior to and during construction.
Demolition
Demolition of existing construction is the responsibility of the Tenant, including flooring and floor topping.
Tenant may reuse portions of existing improvements subject to Landlord's prior written approval. Reuse
of existing improvements shall be clearly indicated on the Store Layout and Working Drawings. Landlord
makes no warranty or representation as to the condition or suitability of existing improvements reused by
Tenant.
Reference the Construction Requirements section of this document for additional demolition information.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CRITERIA
General Design Criteria
Overview
These criteria are a basic “set of tools” that the Tenant is required to work with and expand upon. Criteria
are written to allow freedom of individual expression and to provide a common point of departure for all
Tenants.
Construction Requirements
x
Landlord’s building shell is constructed as Type I-A, fire-resistive, fully sprinklered construction.
Tenant’s work must conform to this construction type and will use only noncombustible materials
within the demised premises except where treated, fire-resistant materials are permitted in
accordance with local codes.
x
Only new, first-class materials, equipment, fixtures (including trade fixtures) and furnishings shall
be used in the premises.
x
All finishes shall have a flame spread rating as required by applicable codes.
x
Interior wood doors shall be solid-core. Interior hardware shall be of appropriate commercial

above and below the space, shall be done from within the demised premises.
x
Tenant is obligated to verify conditions pertaining to the demised premises from time to time
prior to and after the commencement of Tenant’s work. Tenant shall coordinate its work with the
Landlord and other Tenants and with existing conditions above and below the demised
premises, and shall make changes from time to time as required to accommodate such work or
conditions. Any proposed adjustments to the work arising due to field conditions not apparent on
drawings, other building documents and previous site surveys shall be submitted to the
Operations Manager and receive written approval prior to execution.
Architectural/Engineering Fee
Architectural or engineering fees incurred by the Landlord as a result of investigating or planning work to
be performed on Tenant’s behalf will be paid by the Tenant.
Storefronts
Tenant’s storefronts are a critical component of Water Tower Place, therefore all storefronts must
complement and enhance the ambiance of common retail areas. Storefronts should emphasize a “sense
of entry”, and the display of merchandise. National or regional Tenants who have a typical or
recognizable storefront design are expected to review this design criterion and adjust their designs
accordingly to ensure compatibility and compliance. They will work closely with the Landlord to achieve a
high level of quality. Storefront Design Criteria is a separate section within this document.
In addition to the storefronts, the area inside within 5’-0 of storefronts have been identified as Tenant
Display Zones and special design criteria apply to these areas.
Water Tower Place
17
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN CRITERIA
Store Interiors
x
All storefronts and interior areas of the store which are visible to the public are subject to design
approval by the Landlord.

be responsible for maintaining and performing any necessary modifications or repairs to
maintain the required fire rating.
In reconfigured spaces, metal stud framing only shall be provided by the Landlord at all new wall
locations. The Tenant shall provide acoustic insulation and two layers of 5/8” fire code gypsum
board, taped and sanded and finished on the Tenant side of the metal studs to achieve the code
required wall rating. The gypsum board shall extend full height from the floor to the underside of
the structural floor above.
x
Exterior Walls: Where the demised premises include an exterior wall, the Tenant shall provide
and install board insulation with an R-19 rating (minimum), an interior vapor barrier up to the
structure above.
x

Storefront Design Criteria
Overview
Water Tower Place is the premier shopping center in the Chicago area. The quality of today’s retail
environment demands distinctive and high quality storefronts and presentations to enhance the shopping
environment.
Storefront Design
The unique characteristics and quality Tenant mix of Water Tower Place calls for innovative and modern
storefronts. Critical to the design integrity and success of the shopping center’s image are the individual
contributions of each Tenant’s store. It is essential that proper attention be paid to proportion, scale,
color, and detailing so that the Tenants can both enhance their image and that of Water Tower Place.
The Landlord has established general criteria for the storefronts, signage, and interiors intended to give
Tenants maximum design flexibility while maintaining a consistent and high quality environment.
Storefronts shall be designed, fabricated, and installed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole expense. The design
objective is to create a sophisticated, urban landscape that expresses a sense of scale and features
transparency, texture, and thoughtful response to Landlord provided architecture. All storefront designs
shall be carefully reviewed and approved by the Landlord.
x
Special lighting effects such as cove lights or up-lights are subject to approval by the Landlord’s
representative and will be reviewed on an individual basis.
x
In some cases, building columns occur along Tenant’s lease line and are exposed to public
view. Tenant shall incorporate these columns into their Storefront design.
x
Finished, ½” x ½” black reglets are to be installed at revels between Tenant storefront
construction and building neutral piers and ceilings.
Neutral Piers
If not already existing, it will be the Tenant’s responsibility to install the neutral pier(s). Front and side
panels are available from the Landlord at the Tenant’s expense. The Tenant shall install a 1’-0” deep x
1’-0” wide minimum recess between the neutral pier and the Tenant’s storefront.
Field Verification of Existing Conditions
Because of varying conditions throughout this center, Tenants and their architects should field verify the
existing conditions before drawings are completed. Items to be verified that critically affect the store
construction include, but are not limited to, the following:
x
Storefront opening boundary conditions (heights, width, floor slope conditions).
x
Conditions of the neutral piers.
x
Bulkhead construction above the existing storefront.
x
Exact location of the storefront lease line.

Sprinkler Shop Drawing Submittal Requirements
All Tenants shall have received approval of the Tenant sprinkler shop drawings and hydraulic calculations
from the Landlord’s risk consultant prior to the installation of the Tenant’s sprinkler system. Listed below is
a list of general submittal requirements. This list is not intended to be a complete listing; it is the Tenant’s
responsibility to contact the Landlord’s risk consultant with questions and concerns relating to their plan
review.
•
Submit three (3) sets of sprinkler protection plans and supporting hydro-calculations.
•
Shop drawing floor plans shall be drawn at 1/4”=1”-0” scale or larger, and shall indicate:
All new connections; locations of sprinklers, inspectors test valve, flushing drains, fire
extinguisher locations and fire hose valve locations.
Schedule and key of all sprinkler heads; sprinkler summary indicating material specifications,
pressure and temperature ratings.
Type and size of all piping and fittings, hanger locations and details, proper hydraulic nodes and
remote area outlined.
Locations of any structural components, mechanical equipment, service lines or fixtures that may
shield water spray.
•
Include reference drawings of adjacent systems or risers feeding the system being submitted.
•
Hydraulic calculations using equivalent lengths for fittings and approved K factors for sprinklers
and including any balancing of the overhead for rack systems.
•
Specifications/Cut sheets for materials being used such as sprinkler heads, sprinkler pipe, valves
and fittings and peripheral equipment (including tamper alarms, waterflow alarms, etc.).
•
Occupancy details – in order to review submitted plans to ensure adequate protection, accurate
occupancy details must be provided. These include, but are not limited to: materials being stored,
storage height, storage arrangement, processes present, etc.
•
For dry systems the valve house heating arrangements, piping slope and air supply details should
be included.
•
The Contractor’s Materials and Test Certificate Form No. 85 should be completed by the installing
contractor for all instructions and submitted to Global Risk Consultants for review and record.
Sprinkler Installation Requirements
•
The sprinkler system is to be de-activated during demolition and construction. The Contractor is
to schedule the installation of a blind flange to isolate the sprinkler system of the area under
construction.
The Contractor is to ensure that only the Tenant area under construction has a decommissioned
sprinkler system. The Contractor is responsible to perform any sprinkler modification work to
achieve this requirement.
Draining and capping of the sprinkler system is to be arranged with and performed by the Building
Engineer. Contractor shall give a minimum of forty eight hours notice and receive prior approval
from Johnson Controls prior to shutting off any sprinkler piping. The cost of this work shall be
charged to the Tenant’s Contractor.

FIRE PROTECTION DESIGN CRITERIA
•
All sprinkler heads are to be protected during construction. Protective caps & covers are to be
maintained on all sprinklers during the duration of the Tenant construction. Protective caps and
covers are only to be removed after all construction has been completed. Provide temporary
plugs and caps on all piping/fittings to keep out construction debris.
•
Automatic sprinklers must be handled and installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions to ensure reliable operation and to prevent premature operation. This typically
includes use of a designated sprinkler wrench specified for installation of the specific automatic
sprinkler, proper torquing or seating of the sprinkler into the fitting and inspection of the actuating
mechanism. Automatic sprinklers that are damaged or have their fusible element assembly
modified due to rough handling should be replaced with new, undamaged sprinklers of the same
type/design/temperature rating. Field adjustments of damaged sprinkler heads are not
acceptable.
•
The premises are to be kept free of combustible materials. Trash generated by construction
activity must be removed from the premises daily. Combustible enclosures for contractor’s tools
and storage are not permitted.
•
All fire protection materials installed shall be thoroughly clean upon completion of installation.
Heads, pipes, valves and fittings shall be completely clean of grease, metal cuttings and dirt, etc.
•
If any cutting or welding is to be done on any of the sprinkler piping in the field, all cut coupons
from modified pipes should be retained for examination by the Landlord’s risk consultant.
Fire Protection System Acceptance
•
Tenant sprinkler system shall not be put in service until the entire system within the demised
premises is pressure tested by a designated fire sprinkler contractor, witnessed by the Landlord’s
designated on-site representative and accepted by both the Landlord and an officer of the
Chicago Fire Department.
•
The Tenant shall not be allowed to bring any stock, furniture, fixtures, equipment, or other
combustible material to the premises until the entire sprinkler system and fire alarm system has
been approved and put into operation.
•
Upon completion of the work, signed copies of the appropriate contractor’s material and test
certificates found in NFPA 13, contractor’s “as-built” shop drawings and installation warranty,
shall be submitted to the Landlord for review and approval prior to occupancy of the premises.
Fire Extinguishers
•
Fire extinguisher for hand use shall be provided, located and installed by Tenant in accordance
with the NFPA-10 and Chicago Building Code Requirements.
•
Fire extinguishers located in finished areas shall be installed in recessed metal cabinets with solid
metal doors.
•
All fire extinguishers shall have signage visible from at least 50 feet away.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEMS CRITERIA
Building Fire Alarm System
•
The Building alarm system consists of smoke detectors in building ductwork, flow alarms, tamper
switches and an emergency voice communication system.
Fire Alarm System
•
Tenants are required to provide system appliances within their premises and connect them to the
Building Fire Detection/Emergency Voice Communication System within their premises at Tenant
expense.
•
Required Tenant Fire Detection/Emergency Voice Communication System design must comply with:
NFPA 72 and Life Safety Code 101; Americans with Disabilities Act; the Chicago Building Code
section 9 (15-16); and the Chicago Electrical Code.
•
The Landlord shall provide a junction box with internally mounted terminal strips outside the Tenant’s
premises for connection to the Building Fire Detection/Emergency Voice Communication System.
These will generally be in service corridors near the Tenant premises.
•
The final connection of Tenant appliance wiring to the Building Fire Detection/Emergency Voice
Communication System, including programming and testing, will be performed by the Building Alarm
System Contractor at Tenant expense.
•
All Tenant sound systems must be interlocked with the Building Emergency Voice Communication
System so that the emergency system can override the Tenant system.
Fire Alarm Specifications
