The three structures total 20,000 square feet and are home to Aspen Dental, Wild Fork Foods, and future retail tenants. This project was constructed during the COVID-19 pandemic which created procurement challenges and required multiple design alterations due to changes in tenants. The designs were adapted for a broad range of retail uses to allow construction to stay on schedule and attract a variety of tenants. For example, the structural design of the buildings allow for future flexibility in entrance locations in the event of tenant changes. The tight, urban site features a storm detention vault, two monument signs, a shared trash enclosure, landscaping, irrigation, site lighting and 53 parking spaces.
