Retail
During its 20 year history, Vantage Builders has completed many retail projects – ground-up construction of new locations, renovating existing stores to improve customers’ experience, improving storefronts to enhance sales, expanding footprints to support growth, establishing a branch of a larger chain. We have worked with small store proprietors, large retail chains and local and national banks; in standalone buildings, retail centers, interior malls and strip malls.
More so than in other markets, in retail the look and feel of the space will have a direct and immediate impact on customers and therefore sales. Design is critical in a retail project and Vantage has established relationships with industry-leading retail architects and designers. We can also assist with site selection to help enhance visibility and improve foot traffic.
Our adherence to weekly update meetings and constant communications help ensure that our projects stay on time and in budget, also of utmost importance in retail. We are adept at working within the confines of active retail locations, minimizing sales impact and ensuring safety. We fully understand the need our retail clients have to finish projects quickly, so they can increase sales and improve brand awareness.
Dollar General
North Attleboro, MA | 18,200 SF | PDA Incorporated
When the iconic Benny’s retail chain went out of business, the Carpionato Group purchased 29 of the 31 former stores. Carpionato hired Vantage Builders to renovate the North Attleboro location, to create a bright, welcoming retail environment. The 18,000-SF location was split into two spaces; 10,000-SF for a new Dollar General store and 8,000 for a future tenant. The first step in the project was to carefully remove and rebuild the entire façade to refresh the building’s look and allow for new branding. The interior features all new finishes that reflect current retail aesthetics and help create a positive retail experience for shoppers. A new loading dock and dumpster pad were installed and the significant systems work included new HVAC and electrical. The old parking lot was overlaid to create a safer environment and to provide a critical positive first impression of the new store.
Club Pilates
Shrewsbury, MA | 1,775 SF | Dennis Colwell
Vantage Builders completed the build-out of a new Club Pilates studio, located at 193 Boston Turnpike, Shrewsbury, in the Lakeway Commons shopping center. In order to create the proper space, designed by Dennis Colwell Architects, Vantage Builders conducted internal demolition and installed a new demising wall to separate Club Pilates from an adjacent suite. The Pilates studio features 12 workout stations, each outfitted with specialized equipment, maple board wall panels, mirrors and springboards. Vantage installed a new suspended, ACT (acoustic ceiling tile) ceiling, luxury vinyl tile (LVT) flooring and wood base throughout the space. Systems work included new ductwork distribution from the existing rooftop HVAC unit as well as plumbing. The new restroom is ADA-compliant, with sink, toilet, grab bars and hand dryer. A new security system and sprinkler system help ensure safety
Citi Trends
Springfield, MA | 25,000 SF | CBRE Architects
Vantage Builders helped clothing retailer Citi Trends open its first store in Western Mass., a 25,000-SF location in Springfield. The Vantage team met a very challenging schedule, working alongside CBRE’s project management team. The project included significant base building work, including reframing the front and the vestibule to accommodate the design of the new storefront and to better showcase Citi Trends’ goods. The installation of upgraded MEP systems required removing the entire sheetrock ceiling. Underground plumbing was installed to support a bank of restrooms at the back of the store. New HVAC distribution ensures customers’ and workers’ comfort, while new carpeting, bright 24” x 48” tiles, abundant lighting, and new finishes create a welcoming retail environment.
Upbeat Cycling
Arlington MA | 2,900 SF | Brown Fenollosa Architects
Vantage Builders completed the build-out of Upbeat Cycling’s first location, a 2,900-square-foot studio in Arlington, Mass. The sparkling facility features a cycling theater with 32 Stages SC3 bikes, a yoga, Pilates and TRX suspension training room, and changing facilities. The design of the studio reflects Upbeat Cycling’s philosophy of keeping fitness fun. The changing rooms are brightly lit, with plenty of privacy. There is new paint, flooring and tiling throughout. A new HVAC system provides dedicated temperature control for different parts of the studio. The high-end renovation of this 1940s-era industrial building along with thoughtful touches like the lightly-scented air and cool after-class towels gives the studio an inviting, pleasant vibe.
