Eastridge Mall in San Jose now has the largest collection of outdoor murals in the world. Pacific Retail Capital Partners completed 20K SF of murals featuring four California artists: CYRCLE, Brendan Monroe, Lila Gemellos and Aaron De La Cruz.
“Immediately the energy and excitement around Eastridge have changed, and we’re reminded how art can transform perceptions, fuel urban revitalization and become an economic stimulus,” Pacific Capital Retail Partners Senior Vice President of Marketing Naijla Kayyem said.
Gensler originally proposed the idea to reimagine the blank exterior brick, stucco and tiled walls around the center into expansive murals and about 16K SF of large-scale graphic art. The murals are part of Eastridge’s major renovation, which includes exterior entrance enhancements, the installation of a 30-foot digital wall, four large-scale murals and a children’s art installation.
