Meet the new mall in downtown Burlington

Don Sinex, owner and developer of the Burlington Town Center, delivered the first view of what the redeveloped mall space might look like in the future. The proposed renaming of the development is The Shops on Church Street.

The project is still in the early planning process and will be subject to extensive review, David E. White, the city's director of the Department of Planning and Zoning, said Wednesday.

Representatives of the mall's architectural firm, PKSB Architects of New York City, reviewed a PowerPoint presentation with an audience of about 75 people in the Burlington City Hall auditorium Tuesday night. The images showed a blend of green space, ground level retail shopping, and a combination of office space and residential space in three new multilevel buildings.





In addition to new buildings in Burlington's skyline, the most dramatic change will be access from Bank Street to Cherry Street in a pedestrian walkway in line with St. Paul Street.

Sinex and members of the architectural firm will meet with Burlington Free Press staff Wednesday to provide an in-depth view of the plans. Watch for further coverage.
