About this file

This is a Tenant Design Criteria handbook issued by the City of Phoenix Aviation Department for retail concession tenants at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport's Terminal 4. The document establishes comprehensive design standards for storefront construction, interior finishes, signage, and technical systems that all retail tenants must follow to ensure aesthetic coordination and operational consistency throughout the terminal. The criteria apply to both main terminal and concourse retail spaces, including specialized locations such as massage/nail bar/spa services and wall specialty retail configurations. Tenants are required to submit detailed design proposals in three sequential phases—Request for Proposals, Schematic Design, and Construction Documents—for Landlord approval before commencing any construction work. The document emphasizes that while design standards are prescriptive in nature, tenants are encouraged to pursue innovative and creative design concepts that advance the airport's reputation for industry-leading retail excellence, provided such concepts can be demonstrated to meaningfully serve the airport's overarching goals of passenger service and quality.

Key technical requirements include frameless clear tempered glass storefront systems with stainless steel door rails, professional-grade interior fixtures and displays without pegboard or standard metal shelving, and lighting systems utilizing LED or compact fluorescent lamps rather than incandescent sources. The Landlord provides base building infrastructure including neutral piers, sign shelf support, mechanical VAV boxes, fire sprinkler zone valves, and electrical disconnect switches, while tenants are responsible for all distribution systems, interior finishes, fixtures, and specialized equipment beyond these base utilities. Tenants must comply with the International Building Code, International Mechanical Code, Uniform Plumbing Code, and current City of Phoenix amendments; maintain finished floor levels flush with airport finishes; provide adequate ventilation and emergency lighting; and coordinate all work that impacts building systems with the Landlord at least two weeks in advance. All construction documents must be prepared by Arizona-licensed architects and engineers, and a period of two to four weeks should be allowed for each submittal review phase depending on project complexity.

1.1 Forward

The Retail Tenant Design Criteria contains both minimum design standards and aspirational examples to assist you (the tenant) and your architect with the development of your proposal and the construction process for space in the

Terminal 4 passenger level and concourses at Phoenix Sky Harbor International

Airport (PSHIA).

Each Tenant’s design is critical to the overall program. As such, Tenants are encouraged to be innovative and creative in developing design concepts that accentuate the dominant theme of their retail concept and support the overall quality of the program. These design concepts should be reflected in the signage, merchandising displays, and lighting systems as well. Your design concept and high-quality execution in combination with the City’s terminal architecture must work together to create a sophisticated, contemporary and regionally relevant experience that continues the airport’s reputation at the forefront of the airport concession industry.

Although the Design Criteria is prescriptive in many regards, creativity is encouraged. If a design concept proposal diverges from the letter of the criteria but can be persuasively demonstrated to the Airport to meaningfully advance its overarching goals of passenger service and excellence – the Tenant is encouraged to request consideration (the Airport is not obligated to approve exceptions to the design standards).

1.2 Purpose of Document

The Design Criteria are intended to ensure an aesthetically coordinated approach to storefront and sign design in keeping with the design objectives of the Airport, and to ensure that standards for storefronts, interior finishes and signage requirements are understood by Tenants, their contractors and designers.

The latest edition of these Design Criteria, together with all Lease and Lease

Drawing documentation required by the Landlord comprise the Tenant Package.

Tenants are strongly encouraged to become familiar with the intent and details of these documents prior to the commencement of work, and to become aware of the special characteristics of the concession areas of Terminal 4 and how its architectural elements, finishes, and materials will affect individual concession design solutions. Tenants must comply with the requirements and conditions set forth in the Tenant Package. Should there be any discrepancies between the

Design Criteria for Tenant improvements and the Lease, the latter shall govern.

The Landlord (City of Phoenix Aviation Department, COP), or Landlord’s

Representative shall have absolute right of review and approval over all aspects of

Concession Tenant improvements, as well as the discretion to waive any of the

Design Criteria so long as the concept, quality and character of the project are not significantly affected.

6-01-2015 Page 4

1.3 Use of Criteria Handbook

Each Tenant must be familiar with the intent, scope and detailed requirements of this handbook before the design process begins. It is the Tenant’s responsibility to visit the site and verify existing conditions. Each Tenant’s design must be approved and permitted by the Landlord before any construction is allowed to begin.

Submittal and approval procedures are outlined in Section 9 of this handbook.

1.4 Retail Design Intent

The redevelopment of the Terminal 4 retail program is intended to further the industry-leading legacy of PSHIA’s program through high quality design and innovation that represents the best of both on and off-airport retail.

Design merchandising solutions should encourage store identity and product recognition through the emphasis of storefront transparency, creative concession identity graphics, vibrant merchandise display and strong overall retail identity. At the same time, individual store graphics and accompanying displays should suggest the independent character of each retailer and the quality of services and types of merchandise or services they provide. Retailers must enhance the customer experience through a commitment to an entrepreneurial pride of ownership, superior merchandising skills, excellence in customer service, and the creation of a very special retail environment.

1.5 Common Area Environment

The existing base building common area environment reflects an upscale contemporary southwest environment that greets arriving visitors with a “sense of place” that represents Arizona, and in turn, reinforces memories of their stay as they depart. This has been accomplished through natural materials such as stone, metal, tile and glass reflect the colors and textures seen across the state.

Augmenting this contemporary southwest environment, several projects throughout

Terminal 4 have introduced a more streamlined, less thematic aesthetic (skytrain station corridors and art installations for example). Your design concepts should harmonize with this backdrop, yet reflect the nature of your merchandise or service in a vibrant and stimulating manner that projects a sophisticated contemporary feel.

1.6 Neutral Piers and Storefront Enclosure

In the public areas, existing columns and neutral piers between storefronts are enclosed in a banded sandstone facing to create a rectangular battered pier. These piers are to be maintained and visible as part of the overall environment. Storefront enclosure and entries are to be tenant provided (or existing salvaged) glass as described later in this document. With these two primary storefront elements pre-defined, your primary means of retail expression will reside in effective and creative store interiors and impactful signage.

6-01-2015 Page 5

1.7 Retail Design Criteria Definitions

The following definitions are used throughout the Design Criteria and shall be interpreted as follows:

a. ADA refers to the Americans with Disabilities Act

b. Common Area is the space used by the general public that is designed and maintained by the Landlord.

c. Concourses are the public circulation zones that lead from the Main

Terminal to all airlines gates.

d. Demising Walls are common walls that mark the lease lines between independent Concession Tenant-leased areas or other separately designed spaces, including public spaces, service corridors, etc. It extends back from the neutral pier.

e. Landlord (owner) is the City of Phoenix Aviation Department (COP) and any of its representatives and is the entity with right of review and approval of Concession Tenant improvements. Code Review, Enforcement, and Permitting is administered through the City of Phoenix’s

Planning and Development Department.

f. Leaselines (except where noted in plan exhibits) extend from the centerline of the storefront’s exterior columns into the rear of the

Concession Tenant’s leased premises and from the centerline of the side demising walls.

g. Main Terminal is the central airport building for Terminal 4 and the hub of concourses N1, N2, N3, N4, S2, S3 and S4.

h. Neutral Pier is an architectural element separating two adjacent storefronts or a storefront and a service corridor or public space. Neutral piers are provided and installed by the Landlord.

1.8 Landlord Work/ Tenant Work

The following is an overview of responsibilities assumed by the Landlord for construction and improvements to the Concession Tenant Leased Premises.

Specific Tenant work is described, as it applies to the Leased Premises, in the various sections of the TDC. The Landlord will be responsible for the construction of common areas, concession Tenant-Leased Premise shell, and all pedestrian circulation areas. The Tenant’s design construction materials will be at the sole discretion of the Landlord, and will be subject to change in accordance with the

Landlord’s determination.

a. Common Areas. Landlord will construct common area patron walkways, including illumination, ceiling air conditioning, heating, sprinkler protection; flooring and walls, as designed by Landlord’s architect and approved by Landlord.

b. Leased Premise Interiors. All previously occupied Tenant spaces will be available in their “as is” condition. It shall be the tenant’s responsibility to submit demolition drawings for approval and remove any existing installations within their demised spaces to facilitate new construction. All new Tenant spaces shall be a “vanilla shell” with exposed stud walls, exposed overhead structure, bare concrete floors, and a storefront opening framed by the Landlord neutral piers each side and overhead gypsum board canopy or fascia. (Tenant shall demolish existing demising wall at N1-R14)

c. Mechanical and Electrical. Refer to Chapter 8 for requirements.

2. General Design Criteria

6-01-2015 Page 7

c. The typical neutral pier construction encloses a structural building column with metal stud framing, 5/8” tile backer board and 1” ± ¼” sandstone veneer facing full height. The store veneer extends into the Tenant space to enclose the column. The tenant’s glass storefront abuts the stone veneer with a 1” gap.

3. Store Interior Design

6-01-2015 Page 11

3.1 General

a. The store interior design as viewed through the glass storefront must convey the unique character and sense of identity for each tenant.

Tenants should creatively employ visible walls, ceilings and floors to act as a dramatic backdrop in their merchandising efforts. The use of special features, props and displays is encouraged to project their image through the storefront and attract customers into the space.

b. A majority of locations are previously existing retail spaces and the Tenant is responsible for receiving the space as is and providing all demolition and restoration of surfaces sufficient to allow for the Tenant’s build-out. In locations that are conversions from space that is not currently retail space the Landlord will provide a basic shell space with previous finishes already demolished.

c. All Tenants will be expected to take a fresh and innovative look at how their store can best be designed to present world-class sophistication in a casual yet stylish manner.

d. Creative adaptations of standard store designs are strongly encouraged within the requirements of the criteria.

e. A total store image coordinates storefront and interior design with the store’s merchandising plan. Tenants must consider creative adaptions to their interior design and planning to achieve a store that is compatible yet different from the common area theme of the retail level.

f. Materials and finishes must not be toxic (asbestos, lead etc.).

3.2 Demising Partitions

a. Demising walls between Tenants shall be centered on the lease line dividing tenant spaces and extend to the structure above. In most locations these demising walls currently exist and should be repaired and reused by the Tenant. In locations where they do not exist the Landlord will provide 6” metal studs at 16” o.c. for these partitions and the Tenant shall provide sufficient above ceiling openings for air return in the plenum.

b. In most locations along Landlord services demising walls extend from floor to structure above and should be repaired and reused by the Tenant. In locations where they do not exist and where constructed of metal studs, the Landlord will provide 5/8” gypsum board on the Landlord side only.

The Tenant shall provide 5/8” gypsum board finishes on the tenant side.

c. The Tenant must seal around all structural shapes, ducts, pipes and other penetrations through the demising walls in an airtight manner, since the space above the finished ceiling is used as an air plenum.

6-01-2015 Page 12

d. Tenant interior walls that extend to the underside of the slab above shall have a head track designed to accommodate deflection.

e. Additional wall reinforcement or independent support is required by the tenant for demising walls used to support shelf standards or other heavy attachments.

f. Tenants in spaces with existing service doors to service corridors may relocate them as required and shall be responsible for infilling the former door location with matching wall construction and finishes on the service corridor side. In locations where existing service doors do not exist and a

Tenant’s space abuts a service corridor, the Tenant shall furnish and install a standard door connecting to it. Tenants shall coordinate the location of the service door with the Landlord in new shell spaces. The

Landlord shall provide lockable door hardware with temporary construction cores. The Tenant shall provide the permanent cores. All interior doors used to access fire exit corridors shall be appropriately labeled fire door assemblies, complying with local codes.

g. In some locations, Concourse retail tenant spaces have an exterior glass curtain wall window. Tenants are encouraged to take advantage of this and incorporate the windows into the design of the sales area or public space. If, however, the Tenant requires all or part of the window wall for display, an interior partition may be built. This partition shall be a minimum of 6” from the window wall with access provided to the space behind the partition for maintenance. Air vents shall be provided at the base and the top of the wall to allow for air circulation. Pressure sensitive adhesive translucent film shall be applied to the inside surface of any existing exterior glass concourse window that is covered over with tenant’s interior partitions.

h. At storerooms, offices and similar spaces Tenants shall apply pressure sensitive adhesive translucent film to the inside surface of any existing exterior glass concourse windows. No stacking of goods against windows is permitted, a distance of at least 6” from windows must be maintained.

3.3 Wall Finishes

a. All wall surfaces in the sales area visible to the public must be finished in an acceptable manner. Finishes considered to be suitable are painted gypsum board or plaster, commercial grade wall coverings, wood moldings or panel treatments, decorative metal, or natural stone.

b. The use of the following materials will not be allowed as a wall material in areas visible to the public:

i. Extensive use of mirrors or common slatwall

ii. Wood grained or simulated pattern plastic laminates

iii. Pegboard or corkboard

iv. Plywood

v. Carpeting on walls

6-01-2015 Page 13

vi. Any other material as determined by the Landlord. The

Landlord reserves the right to approve all materials and finishes used within the tenant space, including display fixtures.

c. Wall treatments should be finished at the floor with a durable base material such as wood, stone, ceramic tile, or stainless steel. Vinyl or rubber base will not be permitted in areas visible to the public.

d. Surface mounted shelf standards will not be accepted.

3.4 Floor Finishes

a. A suitable floor finish must be provided by the Tenant at all public areas of the Tenant’s premises. The elevation of the finish floor must match the adjacent common area floor and sliding glass panel track. Bull-nosed tile, reducer strips of any kind, or carpet edge guards will not be permitted.

b. Flooring transitions shall have no elevation changes.

c. Floor treatments should be designed to reinforce the character of the store concept and image.

d. A hard surface floor material is required in the “Display Area” at the storefront lease line and must extend at least five feet into the store.

Acceptable hard surface treatments include natural stone, hardwood floors, non-glazed porcelain tile or terrazzo. Refer to Specific Design

Criteria for exceptions.

e. Floor finish materials that are not permitted in sales areas or areas visible by the public are quarry tile, rubber/vinyl flooring or vinyl composition tile.

f. The Tenant shall prepare the interior slab as required to provide a smooth, sound substrate to receive tenant finishes.

g. If an expansion joint occurs within the tenant space, it shall be the

Tenant’s responsibility to install the finish floor material to meet this joint in a flush alignment. The Landlord will not be responsible for finished floor material installed over expansion joints.

3.5 Ceiling Finishes

a. The minimum clear height for ceilings provided by the Landlord is 10’-0”.

Tenants should inspect spaces to determine opportunities for higher ceiling areas and potential conflicts with existing obstructions.

b. The Tenant is required to provide a ceiling throughout the sales area.

Exposed structure visible through non-opaque ceiling systems shall be painted. Provide expansion joints consistent with industry standards.

6-01-2015 Page 14

i. Approved ceiling systems for the sales area or any area visible to the public include the following: Painted gypsum board or plaster

ii. Commercial quality acoustical ceiling systems

iii. Special or custom designed ceiling trellis, panels or open grids.

c. Ceiling suspension systems may not be fastened to the underside of the piping or ductwork above. All fastening devices must be secured to the structure above.

d. The structural slab above tenant spaces in the Main Terminal building is a post-tensioned concrete slab with parking above. The slab is subject to vibration from moving vehicles. In addition, the slab is insulated with exposed batt insulation from below. The Tenant shall be responsible for determining the locations of existing steel tendons in the slab above their space to avoid installing ceiling fasteners and anchors at the tendons.

Fastener type should not be prone to “back out” with vibration over time.

Existing insulation removed to facilitate tenant construction shall be reinstalled or replaced.

e. Combustible materials of any type are not permitted above the finished ceiling.

4. Signage and Graphics

6-01-2015 Page 17

4.1 General

a. Sky Harbor International Airport encourages signage that is three dimensional and expressive of your brand image, merchandise or service while contrasting with adjacent tenants signs to provide differentiation.

b. Tenants are required to design, fabricate, install and maintain storefront signs that exhibit imagination, high fabrication quality, and draw attention to your concept and brand without negatively impacting the overall environment (glare, lighting with color that creates an interference with common area finishes). Signage verbiage shall be limited to trading name and logo only, as approved by the Lease. Tenant is required to submit design team approved signage and graphics shop drawings to Landlord prior to construction. DCS (The City of Phoenix Aviation

Department's Design and Construction Services Division) and AFP

(Annual Facilities permit Program) permit approval process information is listed in the Tenant Improvement Handbook available online at:

https://skyharbor.com/pdf/TI-Handbook.pdf. The Landlord has final approval on all Tenants’ signage.

c. Although this Design Criteria includes minimum requirements and restrictions, equally important is the Airport’s expectation for creative signage that exceeds traditional expectations. Signage should be treated with as much design creativity and focus by the

Tenant as the rest of the store design concept and represent industry-leading, state –of-the-art creativity and impact. Signage and

Graphics proposals that, in the Landlord’s judgment, do not accomplish these goals will be rejected.

d. Reference Signage Examples: To provide design inspiration and assist Tenants with visualizing the range of creative signage the

Airport deems as meeting their goals, several examples from both airport and non-airport environments is included in this section. As the examples are from different types of facilities, not all of them meet the specific technical requirements of this Criteria, but they represent the creativity, level of expression, and general quality the

Airport expects. These examples are provided for reference only and are not to be directly copied or emulated.
