With its wealthy population, BrickTopia was the perfect choice for the latest, and, by far, the largest Disney Store.
The only available real estate was a small sliver of land next to Chateau Paradisa in mid-town. This lack of land force the construction of an extremely tall building in order to provide the required floor-space.
The resulting architecture is primarily Baroque to fit in with the other buildings in the area. However, there is a bit of whimsy thrown into the mix. Large Plexiglas windows feature oversize Mickey and Minnie statues designed to lure shoppers to part with their money.
A picket fence lines the street front on the first story. The city architect threw a fit about this claiming that the fence did not match the Baroque style of the building. Disney insisted on it though claiming it toned down the formal feel of the facade.
