Shawmut awarded Tag Heuer builds in Florida and Pennsylvania

Shawmut Design and Construction has been awarded construction of Tag Heuer retail stores at Millenia Mall in Orlando, Fla., and King of Prussia Mall in King of Prussia, Pa. Both stores are designed by Sawicki Tarella Architects.

The Orlando project features an 850-sf fit out of an existing retail space. The King of Prussia project features a 1,000-sf fit out of an existing retail space. Though each store is different, each will include design elements such as imported stone and light fixtures from Italy.

The completion of these projects will raise the number of Tag Heuer retail stores in the United States to four. Shawmut has been responsible for the construction of all four locations. Tag Heuer stores in City Center in Las Vegas and Aventura Mall in Aventura, Fla. were completed by Shawmut in 2011. BD+C
