Merchants Row

Shopping Center

65,000 sq.ft

Opening Summer 2019

Hanover, MA

The center is situated on a 10 acre site off a high traffic corner with

access to Route 3, Route 53 and 123. Giglio Properties goal was to

scrap an existing 65,000 sq.ft two story building and in it’s place

introduce the 62,000 sq.ft single story lifestyle center. The development

will be a mix of retail, restaurants and entertainment that is further

enhanced by a variety of outdoor green space and landscaping. At

the core of the project is the promenade, the open space between

buildings A & B. It is intended to be part of the community for farm

stands, yoga classes and weekly venues that give the experience

consumers are seeking in their shopping centers. Studio TROIKA’s

job was to help create a unique set of buildings that capture the active

nature of the center. The large roofs on both A & B are broken by two

canopies that architecturally highlight the anchor restaurants, while

also creating space below for seating. We chose a simple palette of

materials such as EIFs, stone, wood and metal. Using them in a

complex way to transform an otherwise flat façade into a more

dynamic experience.
