Project Overview

The project involved transforming an empty retail shell into a fully finished New Balance store. The space was in an active outdoor shopping mall, which required careful planning and coordination. Our team ensured the final layout met brand standards, mall guidelines, and the client’s operational needs.

Project Details:

• Location: Pottstown, PA
• Building Type: Outdoor shopping mall
• Client Type: Retail
• Delivery Method: Construction management with coordinated trades

The client needed a fast turnaround, cost control, and minimal impact on surrounding tenants. The finished store had to be clean, modern, and ready for immediate use.

Scope of Work

We managed the full tenant fit out from early planning through final turnover. Our work included:

• Interior demolition and space preparation
• Framing, drywall, finishes, and complete retail build‑out
• Coordination of electrical, mechanical, and specialty trades
• Schedule management and cost tracking
• Quality control and punch list completion

This project demonstrates our ability to deliver retail renovation and fit out services on tight timelines while maintaining accuracy and consistency.

Construction Management Approach

Retail fit outs require clear communication and efficient planning. Our construction management team created a detailed schedule, coordinated all trades, and kept daily communication flowing between the client, mall management, and subcontractors.

We used proven processes that we apply across many commercial construction projects. Early planning and accurate estimating helped keep costs under control while allowing flexibility for any last‑minute adjustments. This approach is especially valuable for retail clients who need to open quickly and avoid delays.

Challenges and Solutions

The biggest challenge was the aggressive timeline. Retail openings often depend on strict schedules, and any delay can affect sales and operations. Working in an active shopping mall also required careful coordination to avoid disrupting nearby stores and customer traffic.

We overcame these challenges by:

• Coordinating all trades early in the process
• Setting clear daily goals and milestones
• Communicating proactively with mall management
• Tracking progress closely to resolve issues quickly

This disciplined approach kept the project moving smoothly and allowed us to finish ahead of schedule. Whether you’re opening a new store or renovating an existing space, our team is ready to support you every step of the way. Connect with us to begin planning your next project.
