Terremark was retained by Starwood Capital to create a strategy to upgrade street appeal and value enhancement. Starwoods desire to improve the streetfront and provide a better presence for the hotel quest was primary. Terremark devised a strategy by determining a niche that would achieve both objectives. Terremark was requested to execute its strategy.

The strategy included  the replacement of a 20 year gift shop with True Religions first flag ship store in the U.S.  MAC Cosmetics and additional speciality retail. Terremark was retained by Starwood Capital to develop a repositioning strategy. The request was to increase value and update the street image to enhance capitalization rates.
