Alteration
The interior of the Pacific Place Mall was renovated in 2019-2020. Interior finishes of the concourse were replaced, as were some facing materials on each floor, and the main entry was remodeled. This work was supervised by Gensler. Geno Yun of Gensler worked on this redesign.
The Gensler website said of their work for Madison Marquette: "Pacific Place, a full-scale retail center redevelopment project in Seattle, creates a new destination that intrigues and pulls visitors through the space, from both the reconfigured southwest corner entrance located on the downtown retail corridor, and the new South Lake Union-facing grand entrance. The retail center design concept weaves the quintessential natural elements of the Pacific Northwest — the Cascade Mountains, rain, forest, and water bodies of the Puget Sound — in order to lure visitors into the center, entice them to circulate vertically within the center, and tempt them to circulate horizontally around the floor. Each element is emotive, offering unique experiences geared towards four targeted guest types including the Amazon worker, the city dweller, the tourist, and the mom with kids."
