​Chapman Taylor remodels Kukulcán Plaza shopping centre in Cancun, Mexico

Chapman Taylor has been commissioned to design the refurbishment of a prominent shopping centre, Kukulcán Plaza, in the heart of Mexico’s premier tourist destination, Cancún.

A joint venture between Grupo Promodesa, Fibra Shop and Groupo Frel, the renovation will include Espacio Latino (‘Latin Space’) – a space for Latin American retail brands and artists, as well as a gourmet zone offering the best food from across the region. Espacio Latino will house 69 new commercial premises, as well as a catwalk for fashion shows and art exhibitions.

Chapman Taylor’s worldwide experience in designing and remodelling shopping centres, as well as mixing retail together with other uses, was key to our being chosen to design the reconfiguration of Kukulcán Plaza.

The refurbished centre, offering a means of showcasing Latin American food, fashion, art and culture to the millions who visit Cancún each year, will open in November 2018.
