Alamance Crossing Burlington, N.C.
Alamance Crossing recreates a “downtown main street” shopping experience in which pedestrians can wander in and out of stores while strolling along the avenue. The EMJ team performed all site work and off-site improvement work in addition to constructing the retail space, including J.C. Penney, and the 16-screen Carousel Movie Theatre. Due to surrounding wetlands, a four-lane, one-mile frontage road and bridge were needed to allow customers to enter and exit the shopping center. Constructing these required a week long closure of a large state road and delayed work on the retail shell and site. The team coordinated with state and local officials and engaged the community to address concerns and reduce impact. Through constant communication and collaboration, EMJ delivered the client nearly $530,000 in cost savings on the finished development. 3
Palm Beach Outlets & Marketplace West Palm Beach, Fla.
The Palm Beach Outlets & Marketplace consists of two adjacent retail developments. The 465,000- square-foot Outlets is comprised of 10 individual buildings of various sizes with over 100 tenant spaces and a food court area, and the 300,000-square-foot, grocery-anchored Marketplace hosts space for 20 additional tenants. The EMJ team performed the demolition of a 1.4 million-square-foot mall, as well as complete redevelopment of the entire 87-acre site, including miles of new underground utilities. During preconstruction planning for the development, EMJ discovered that connecting the shade structures to the building’s structural steel, as the drawings instructed, required an additional 25 tons of structural steel. The C2C team collaborated with the architect and engineer to develop an alternate design. The resulting changes provided the client with a two-month schedule improvement and a grand total of $4 million. 4

During preconstruction, EMJ brought to the client’s attention that the complex garage design on the lower level required three different types of concrete structures and several specialized subcontractors. We worked collaboratively with all project stakeholders to develop a new design that would eliminate these unnecessary costs. In the end, we saved the client more than $3.5 million with the redesigned parking area, changes in landscaping, and other plan modifications

We collaborated with all subcontractors to find creative solutions, which resulted in cost savings on such items as awning and sunshade installation and stamped asphalt pavers in lieu of concrete pavers. This not only saved the owner money, but also created a better product for the owner in terms of long-term maintenance. 15
