Challenge
Originally planned as a three-level mall with two levels of below-grade parking, the project was subject to ongoing revisions to accommodate the changing retail program. This included the addition of a fourth floor to accommodate a new anchor tenant, which was accommodated during the construction period. The new tenant added escalators, stairs, and elevator requirements that required on-the-fly revisions as construction was underway.
Solution
Maintaining a consistent team, led by a hands-on Project Executive throughout the process, including extending our design team through the construction period and enabling them to make changes to accommodate the demanding schedule. Working with a local engineering firm to supplement our services also aided in successfully overcoming the challenge of poorly documented existing conditions.
