Design-build delivery keeps projects on schedule

FINFROCK architects and engineers designed this 175,299 total square-foot mixed-use water-front building with an exterior speed ramp and elevated parking.

Parking is cantilevered over the sidewalk to maximize space for ground-level retail, restaurant shell, and FlowRider attraction. The design allowed for limited intrusion with the use of only four columns within the retail area—optimizing the usage of floor space. The unique layout allowed for the same number of parking spaces on one less level.

By producing structural concrete products off-site, fast-track construction shortened the interruption to an existing retail business—demolition of the existing retail to the opening of the new facility took only eight months.
