For that, we thrive to work with developers, national brands and property owners to provide strategic land development solutions that improve accessibility, increase value and speed to market.

Resilience: Engineering sites to withstand climate risks, using Geotechnical Engineering.
Scalability: Designing for future expansions, like additional stores or dining areas.

Specialized Services for Retail Projects

Site Planning and Design

Retail projects require strategic planning to maximize customer appeal. We assess traffic flow, parking needs and environmental impacts. Our Engineering Land Development services ensure stable foundations, and our Planning & Site Investigation Services optimize layouts for retail operations.

Infrastructure and Utilities

We know that Infrastructure is critical to retail success, so we design:

Utility Systems: Robust water, sewer, and power systems to support retail operations, part of our Utility Infrastructure Design.
Stormwater Management: Advanced drainage to prevent flooding, using our Storm Drainage Design.
Access Infrastructure: Customer-friendly parking and access roads to enhance convenience.

Retail Permitting

Navigating the commercial permitting process can be complex and time-consuming, and directly impacts your project timeline and budget. We provide expert guidance to streamline approvals and get your doors open faster.

We manage the entire process, from initial due diligence and zoning analysis to final building permits from local authorities.

We take care of the site development permits, and we work with local authorities to obtain zoning changes, special use permits, and site plan approvals for mission-critical facilities. Our experience with city/municipal and county governments across the country means a smooth and efficient process.

Likewise, we prepare and submit all necessary documentation, coordinate with review agencies, and proactively address potential issues to avoid costly delays. Ready to build your retail space? Contact us today!
