The Shops at Tanforan regional shopping mall is on the site of the Tanforan Shopping Center, which was built in the 1970’s. The center underwent a major renovation in 2003 to include transit access for BART, to add parking, and to create a streetscape shopping experience. The site is on the historic Tanforan Racktrack, the famous Seabiscuit raced in the 1930’s. The total retail space is now over 1 million square feet of retail, and anchors include Target, JCPenney, Sears, and Barnes & Noble.

Brio Engineering has provided consulting engineering services for the 276,000 square feet expansion and remodel of this major regional mall on a 45-acre site. The staff developed the entire site work design package for a new parking deck with a Century Theater on top and reconfigured the surrounding parking fields to meet the parking ratio requirements for REA. The Mall phase completed in November 2005.
