Tenant Improvement Construction Information

All Tenants are required to provide Landlord with an electronic file for the plan review/ approval process. PDF files are preferred, and you can email these files directly to SimonPOTenantPlans@. Your tenant improvement drawings must be approved by Landlord prior to your commencing work. Please allow 5-10 working days for Landlord review.

PROPERTY ADDRESS

The address for Houston Premium Outlets is as follows:

Tenant Name/DBA

Houston Premium Outlets

29300 Hempstead Road, Suite #____

Cypress, Texas 77433

Please use your individual suite number for deliveries. DO NOT have deliveries of store supplies or your tenant improvement construction materials made prior to your store turnover date. A representative of your company must be onsite to receive any deliveries for your store. The Landlord cannot accept any deliveries for your store. No provision has been made for on-site storage until your suite is ready for turnover.

KNOX BOXES

Local jurisdiction requires keys to every suite be placed in Knox boxes. Please make certain you have an extra key(s) made to meet this requirement. NO waivers allowed!

ENERGY CALCULATIONS

For energy calculations, use ComCheck-EZ. A copy of the program may be found at: All four sections should be completed and submitted with plans. In some cases, if you are not revising any component of lighting or mechanical system, this requirement may be waived at discretion of local jurisdiction. However, you must provide a letter or proof concerning existing energy compliance.

Burglar Alarms / Perimeter Intrusion Security Devices

All such devices must be approved by the Landlord prior to installation, including application of "riot glass" or any type of film to doors and/or windows. No exterior alarms, strobe lights, or other enunciator devices may be mounted on storefronts. Due to potential interference with the Center's fire alarm system, "Smoke Cloak", or similar systems that generate smoke, are prohibited. Application of any decals to storefronts referencing Security protection must be done in compliance with Premium Outlet's Storefront Criteria.

CONTRACTORS

All tenant Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing subcontractors performing work within your store must be licensed in the State of Texas. These subcontractors must be licensed prior to selection! Licensing is a long process in Texas and the subs will not be able to get licensed by time of construction. Please make certain your contractor is aware of this requirement.

Contractors must provide Landlord with an original signed copy of the Construction Rules (see following) prior to turnover of a Tenant’s space. The tenant contractor obtaining the tenant improvement permit is the contractor responsible for submitting all required information and certificates of insurance to the Landlord. No contractor will be allowed access to start any work without having full approval of the Landlord, which includes satisfying all the insurance requirements.

Due to the structural engineering design of the roof system, Tenants and/or their contractors cannot attach to or construct anything on the bottom of the roof trusses unless approved by Landlord. If a structural engineer is needed to determine any structural calculations with Tenant drawings, Tenant is responsible for these services and costs.

Tenant Ceilings: All ceiling mounted fixtures, lighting, track, signs, etc. must be self-supporting, and may NOT be toggled to or supported in anyway by the ceiling system.

If a barricade is required it must conform to the Premium Outlet’s Barricade Specification. See Barricade Specification sheet on the next page.

STRUCTURE CHANGES

Tenants are to submit preliminary design drawings ONLY and should not commence work on drawings until the design is approved by Landlord

CUTTING, WELDING AND GRINDING ACTIVITIES

Welding and cutting is not permitted near large quantities of exposed, readily ignitable materials, in areas not authorized by Center Management, or on metal partitions, walls or roofs with combustible covering or with combustible construction.

CLEAN-OUTS

Some tenant suites have furred out columns with access panels to an existing roof drain clean out.  Access panels, whether in front or rear of space, are to remain clear of all obstructions. 

Some tenant suites have clean outs for floor drains. These are not to be covered and are to remain clear of all obstructions.

ASBESTOS!!

The local City, County, State of Texas or other local jurisdiction may require incoming Tenants to provide an asbestos survey as part of Tenant’s building permit submittal package. As this asbestos survey would be a requirement for Tenant to obtain its TI permit, said survey is Tenant’s responsibility. Tenant should contact Tenant Manager immediately if any asbestos material is discovered during its survey.

EQUIPMENT

Landlord strongly prefers the use of ENERGY STAR products and/or equipment whenever possible during Tenant design & build out, which can reduce energy consumption. For additional information, please visit: products

Tenant Improvement Construction Information

SLAB WORK

All work must be coordinated with and approved by the Tenant Manager. All slab sawcutting or penetrations require that replacement slab be installed with doweling and reinforced concrete. See Tenant Manager for detail. In some suites, sawcutting is not allowed because it will interfere with the structural integrity of the building.

Tenant and Tenant flooring contractors are responsible for the determination of compatibility of flooring products and/or adhesive with Landlord's concrete slab. Landlord does not accept responsibility and will not be liable for water vapor emissions through the slab that exceed flooring manufacturer's recommendations or are due to the effects of sawcutting. The Tenant/Tenant’s general contractor is responsible to ensure that there are no underground utilities/services BEFORE cutting any concrete, anywhere on the property. The Tenant will be liable for all repairs and/or lost business due to a utility or service interruption as a result of cutting the slab.

UTILITIES AND MECHANICAL SYSTEMS

Tenants are to order their utility services (gas and telephone) to begin on their turnover date or their construction start date, whichever is the earlier. Please make sure you make application early!! Your Contractor will not be allowed to take possession of suite without proof of all utility turnovers. See utility company listing in this handbook.

If permanent power is not installed prior to start of Tenant improvement construction, Tenant’s electrical contractor shall be responsible to provide temporary power and lighting for the Demised Premises, per code, with ground fault protection.

Upon completion of the permanent system of electrical power furnished by the Landlord, Tenant’s contractor may utilize the permanent power from the Tenant’s panel board. Electrical usage charges are the responsibility of the Tenant starting on the day the keys are picked up or their turn over date in the lease, which ever is earlier.

Temporary Tenants that will be in possession of their suite for less than a year are not required to change utilities over to their name, this includes gas and electric only.

HVAC - All HVAC units are electric. No gas is used for HVAC.

All Tenants must provide regular maintenance of their HVAC system. Each Tenant is to provide a copy of their maintenance contract to the General Manager within one (1) month of their turnover date. Tenant/Tenant contractors must provide proof of balancing the HVAC system. They must turn this in to the General Manager with their maintenance contract.

Relocation of thermostat controls shall be at the Tenant’s expense and any repairs or failed installations resulting from incomplete or inadequate relocation shall be the Tenant’s responsibility.

Protection for the HVAC unit(s) (construction filter) must be in place prior to the start of Tenant’s construction. The HVAC unit must also be cleaned when tenant construction is complete. This is the responsibility of the Tenant, NOT the Landlord. If painting ceiling and/or sanding drywall, HVAC unit must be off – not running.

ROOF

The required roofing contractor for this project is (Phase 1 & 2) Nations Roof South, Doug Ingle, (678) 279-2466.Any penetrations through the roof must be coordinated, performed and sealed by them.

Any additional roof items, such as satellite dishes, may have additional roof requirements. Contact Center Management for requirements on additional roof items.

FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

Type “ABC” all-purpose chemical minimum 5lb fire extinguisher in accordance to latest addition of NFPA 10 for sprinkler building. Larger stores may require more. Verify locations with Fire Marshall prior to installations.

SPRINKLERS

It is the Tenant’s responsibility when making changes to the fire sprinkler system; even if it is just one head, the Tenant MUST contact the required sprinkler contractor for this project. Submit your plans, CONCURRENTLY with building permit submittal, on AutoCAD (version 14 or higher) to the attention of one of the required contractors. After you sign a purchase order or contract, they will engineer the sprinklers changes as required by your design and obtain the necessary permits from the Fire Department. They will need your permit number in order to submit your sprinkler drawings for permit. You must forward your permit number to them as soon as you receive it!

SIMON Property Group requires all tenants to employ the respective mall or shopping center’s current sprinkler contractor. This specified sprinkler company in turn is required to comply with Landlord’s Fire Protection Design Requirements.

A. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1. The fire protection system shall be designed, fabricated, and installed by a Licensed or NICET Fire Protection System Contractor. The Engineer shall provide specifications and diagrams to allow letting of a design-build contract for the fire protection portion of the project. The entire system design, material use and installation shall comply with the current NFPA Standards and Codes as a minimum.

2. Plan submissions for SIMON Tenant Improvement Projects must be emailed to Global Risk Consultants (GRC) at SimonProjects@. This also includes all other sprinkler submittals for new construction, mall renovations, common areas, mall offices, etc. that are not paid for by a tenant. For all emailed submissions, the contractors will need to include the following information in the email subject line:

For Mall Plan Reviews: “SIMON MPR – GRC File # (for site) - Site Name, City, State”

For Tenant Sprinkler Reviews: “SIMON TPR – GRC File # (for site) - Site Name, City, State”

For Roof Reviews: “SIMON Roof – GRC File # (for site) - Site Name, City, State”

• SimonProjects@ is the only path to submit plans for review.

• Do not send these requests to individual employees at GRC.

• Submit the reviews at least 30 days in advance of the construction start date.

Route any questions/concerns to the GRC Account Engineer for SIMON:

Nora London

District Manager – Fire Practice. Senior Consultant/Account Engineer/Fire Protection Engineering

Office- 312-223-1523 

Direct- 630-418-6672

Email address: nora.london@

The following items must be submitted to conduct a prompt and thorough review of the sprinkler system:

Submit the following information in PDF format by email as detailed above:

• Sprinkler Shop Drawings with section view

• Hydraulic Calculations (required for all submittals)

• Seismic calculations for all Earthquake Zones

• Catalog Cut Sheets for materials being used (i.e. sprinklers, fittings, pipe, valves, etc.)

• Owner’s Certificate (ref. NFPA-13, section 4.3) including the Occupancy Details needed to ensure adequate protection, the occupancy details should include, but not be limited to, stored materials, storage height, storage arrangement (shelves, racks, mobile storage units), processes present, etc.

3. The typical sprinkler system shall be a wet pipe system serving all areas of the building. Portions of the project that are unheated or exposed to freezing temperatures shall be provided with an automatic dry pipe type system complying with the current edition of NFPA-13. Glycol systems will not be permitted without permission from SIMON.

4. The minimum size of any incoming, underground (fire) water lateral into a tenant space shall be 8” and the minimum riser size shall be 6” unless approved by SIMON.

5. Piping shall be fastened to the structural system of the building and concealed in areas having a suspended ceiling. Install seismic sway bracing where required for earthquake zones per local codes and the current edition of NFPA.-13.

6. Drain piping is required at low points of piping systems. Drain down locations shall be extended to locations that are accessible to Mall staff or stubbed out of the building into an area that will not be subject to freezing or stain the finished surfaces. For dry type systems, drip drums shall be installed against columns and out of usable space.

B. FIRE PROTECTION GUIDELINES FOR NEW/RENOVATED TENANT SHELL SPACES

1. The minimum allowable riser and main size for delivery of water to tenant spaces shall be 6” plus, be capable of providing 1000 GPM at a residual pressure of 45 PSI at the most remote ends of the sprinkler system mains.

2. When required, Landlord will install an upright sprinkler system within tenant shell spaces hydraulically designed for 0.25 GPM per square foot over 2000 sq. ft. based upon the installation requirements of NFPA-13 with head spacing at a maximum of 130 sq. ft.

For contractors performing tenant improvement projects inside these retail spaces the sprinkler density must conform to the NFPA-13 standard of 0.2 GPM over 1500 sq. ft. within the space at the conclusion of construction.

C. FIRE PROTECTION FOR EXISTING TENANT SPRINKLER SYSTEMS

1. Whenever an existing sprinkler system is being renovated, the integrity and reliability of the existing system must be maintained. Original sprinkler shop drawings shall be acquired through the mall manager/project manager. However, the Sprinkler Contractor must verify the existing sprinkler system in the field. If the Sprinkler Contractor discovers a discrepancy from the original sprinkler shop drawings and actual field conditions, he shall note the discrepancy on his renovated shop drawings.

2. The hydraulic design criteria as a minimum shall match the hydraulic criteria originally intended for the facility. At no time shall the hydraulic criteria be less than Ordinary Hazard Group 2 occupancy as defined by NFPA-13. The latest site water flow data to be used for hydraulic calculations shall be obtained from Global Risk Consultants or local Mall Management.

3. UL Listed and/or FM Approved materials for NFPA-13 Ordinary Hazard Group 2 (OH-2) occupancy must be used, including but not limited to sprinkler piping, hangers, sprinkler heads, etc. Seismic bracing must be UL Listed and designed to the current edition of NFPA- 13.

4. Sprinkler head spacing requirements for Ordinary Hazard Group 2 occupancies shall be used.

5. The current edition of NFPA-13 shall be the minimum design requirements along with any state and local requirements. That means that tenant contractors performing improvement projects inside existing retail spaces must meet 0.2 GPM over 1500 sq. ft. inside those spaces or comply with the center’s pre-existing hydraulic design at the conclusion of construction. It also necessitates that the tenant’s contractor upgrade/replace piping and add heads as necessary in order to achieve compliance.

D. SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR MILLS OR SIMILAR OPEN PLAN PROPERTIES

1. Sprinkler heads at the roof deck of Mills “open plan” malls must remain in place at all times due to the lack of full height fire barrier walls between in-line tenant spaces. Roof level sprinklers must not be plugged or replaced by arm-overs regardless of the presence of sprinklers below.

2. Sprinklers installed below suspended ceiling systems must be hydraulically designed to match the original sprinkler design. Malls constructed with a roof level sprinkler design of 0.25 gpm/sq ft over 3000 sq.ft. were intended for the future extension of sprinklers below suspended ceilings using a minimum design of 0.20 gpm/sq.ft. over 3000 sq.ft. with 250 gpm hose allowance.

3. Storage of Class I to Class IV commodities is limited to 12 ft. and Cartoned Group A Plastic commodities is limited to 10 ft. with these original sprinkler densities. Please contact Global Risk Consultants for specific design requirements to protect stockrooms exceeding the aforementioned height or commodity limitations.

4. Sprinklers must be installed below all isolated obstructions such as clouds, ductwork, soffits, lighting banks, etc. where roof level sprinklers provide the primary protection. Calculations will not be required when the following schedule is used: 1 head = 1” pipe; 2 heads = 1-1/4” pipe; 3 heads = 1-1/2” pipe, 4-5 heads = 2” pipe. Hydraulic calculations will be required to supply systems of 6 or more sprinklers below an obstruction.

5. Sprinklers in small rooms ................
