Three stores' in The Atrium, 1200 N. St. in downtown
Lincoln, opened a new building concept to shoppers Mon
day. They included Ben Simon's, the anchor tenant, and
two ladies wear shops-The Daisy and Joffe's.
The Atrium combines office and retail shopping, said
Roy Way, building manager. Wide open spaces contem
porary architecture and balconies overflowing with plants
and flowers give the structure a garden image.
n
Developed by the Hawthorn Realty Group of Chicago,
the $5 million complex is patterned after similar stores in
Chicago and Kansas City, Way said, but it is the first of its
kind in Lincoln..
One feature, is an eight-story-high open court in the
center of the building lit by a skylight, he said.
When completed, the Atrium will have 90,000 square
feet of retail space on the first four floors, with office
space on the top four floors. 1
Group image
"The stores want to be known as The Atrium, not a
group of individual shops, ' he said.
"To help this image, we retained the exterior of the
building because it is so familiar to downtown Lincoln,
but the interior is completely new and contemporary "
Way said.
