Playground Pier is a luxury shopping mall located on a four-story pier adjacent to Caesars in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It is connected to the casino via a second-story skybridge. Constructed by Perini Building Company of Framingham, MA, it was opened in 1906 as an amusement pier named the "Million Dollar Pier". The pier was converted to a mall and renamed "The Shops on Ocean One" in 1983, and in 2006 was purchased by Taubman Centers and extensively renovated. The pier contains many upscale stores, like Tourneau, Gucci, Apple, Louis Vuitton, Armani A/X. While the mall is built on land owned by Caesars Entertainment, the building itself is currently owned by mortgage lenders. Taubman Centers defaulted on its $135 million loan on the center in 2010, and it was taken over by its mortgage servicer, C-III Capital Partners. The lenders failed to successfully auction the mall and have hired Cushman & Wakefield to manage the center. On June 26, 2015, "The Pier Shops at Caesars" was re-named "Playground Pier".〔(Bart Blatstein's Playground opens Friday at former Pier Shops )〕 ==Floors== The mall's four floors are: *The Boardwalk (first floor): The floor on this level is designed to look like the Atlantic City Boardwalk and the shops tend to focus around gifts, entertainment, and moderate to upscale stores. *The Skybridge (second floor): There is direct access from Caesars through the skyway over the Boardwalk, allowing shoppers to get to the casino while avoiding the crowded boardwalk. The more upscale shops are located on this level and the design gives the impression of shopping under the stars. *The Promenade (third floor): The restaurants, bars, and clubs are all located on the north side of this level of the mall. The south side of the mall is a long glass window with Adirondack chairs placed in sand to give shoppers a place to relax and feel like they are at the beach. *One Atlantic (Fourth Floor): One Atlantic is a events venue and banquet hall on the fourth floor for weddings and parties. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Playground Pier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
