INTRODUCTION
TWENTY N I KITH STREET
DESIGN INTENT
In today's competitive business world, the retail environment is primarily influenced by two factors:
overall setting (common areas) and individual cornponents (Tenant store fronts). Both greatly affect
the perception of Twenty Ninth Street as a prime retail establishment.
These criteria act as a guide for the design of all work by Tenants in conjunction with the provisions
of the Tenant's lease with the Landlord. Furthermore, these criteria are subject to revision by the
Landlord, and the Landlord's interpretation of these criteria is final and governing.
All areas exposed to public view are subject to a thorough design review and approval process by
the Landlord. Tenants must address storefront and interior design, materials, colors, signage, and
lighting. Additionally, specific criteria, applicable to various locations in -Twenty Ninth Street, must
be met-
Tenants should take advantage of the three-dimensional opportunities afforded but the following
criteria to emphasize creative and dynamic forms and designs. Storefront elements shall de-
emphasize linear or boxy forms with the use of recesses, angles, curves, gables and material changes
in both vertical and horizontal views.
All Tenants should refer to the technical criteria for electrical, mechanical, plumbing and life safety
information.
Tenants are encouraged to express their own unique design statement within the parameters of the
design criteria as outlined in this manual.

INTRODUCTION
TWENTY NINTH STREET
2. STOREFRONT DESIGN CRITERIA
These criteria have been formulated to provide a common point of departure for the design of all
individual stores at Twenty Ninth Street. Its success as a whole depends upon the strong contribution
of each individual Tenant.
National and regional "standard" storefront concepts are respected, however, some concept
modifications may be necessary for compliance. The same is true for proposed designs that are
overly similar to a neighboring Tenant. Tuenty Nint~~ .Street's tenant storefronts should be as diverse
and interesting as possible, with each Tenant able to make a singular design statement.
The Twenty Nirrth Street storefronts shown in the construction documents will be built by the
Landlord and are considered an existing condition. Special circumstances may require the Landlord's
interpretation of the design criteria. All deviations from these criteria must support Twenty Ninth
Street's goals for a successful retail and entertainment environment.
As the administrator of the storefront design criteria, the Landlord is the final aesthetic arbitrator.
Any material, configuration, sign or other aspect of the storefront design which is determined to be
unacceptable will be rejected.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
All storefront designs and plans are subject to 5. Tiuenty Ninth Street structural columns,
Landlord approval. The overall image should be located along the store frontage, must be
well coordinated, filly integrating components integrated into the store design.
such as entries, displays and signage.
Storefronts must be of the highest caliber:
expressing state of the art and material quality,
and meeting or exceeding the very best
examples found anywhere in Colorado. To
achieve this goal, Tenants shall be required to
select an architect who has experience in retail
tenant design.
Projections or awnings, where required, must
be three dimensional, emphasizing creative,
dynamic forms and designs.

paving, then they must install their floor so
that the finish elevation is no more than 3/4"
above the existing structural slab. A temporary
transition strip, which can be removed easily,
must be installed to bridge the difference
between flooring materials.
7. Lower level Tenants whose storefronts are
visible from the upper level must take special
care that the tops are finished to match the
storefront design. [n addition, all surfaces of
any visible projections, gables, or rounded
surfaces must also be finished to match.

maintained between storefront projections

4. SIGNAGE AND GRAPHICS
Twenty Ninth Street is intended co look, work and feel like a district, a part of which the tenant
signs are a vital contribution. Uncontrolled signs can quickly create a visual and verbal jungle and
fail in their goal to communicate effectively, in turn undermining the overall district intent. The
ultimate goal is to produce a colorful collage of signs that tastefully inform, delight and stimulate
the shopper.
The overall district will consist of four (4) different tenant sign categories: 1) Type A Tenants, 2)
Type B Tenants, 3) Type C Tenants, and 4) Restaurant Tenants. Due to the variety of architectural
treatments within Tiuenty Ninth Street, each storefront sign will be carefully considered in
relationship to its particular location. What may be appropriate in one location may not work in
another. All sign materials must be consistent with the design theme, enhancing the storefront
and evoking a positive retail image. Each proposed sign will be evaluated on its originality and
compatibility with the neighboring signs, and its overall image within Tiuenty Nirtth Street.
Sign permits will be required for all signs. Signs located within Tiuenty Nirzt~r Street building interior
do not have to comply with the Boulder Municipal Code nor require review by the planning
department. However, signs located where visible from the exterior village will be required to
comply with the Boulder Municipal Code and will require planning deparunent review and
approval.
The Landlord reserves the right to disapprove any sign design which is not compatible with these
criteria and the esthetics of Twenty Ninth Street. Exceptions to these specifications are extremely
rare and may be considered if, in the Landlord's opinion, the sign design is of exceptional merit and
architectural quality. Such exceptions must be approved in advance by the Landlord. As with all
undertakings, the ultimate success of Ttuettty Ninth Street depends on the positive contributions of
all participants.
