About the Project

A former NineWest Shoe warehouse, covering 494,000 sqft, required a full-scale transformation for a new tenant.

• The complex 3-tiered conveyance and storage structure needed to be dismantled, making way for extensive renovations and improved usability.
• Fire safety upgrades, storage system overhauls, and general maintenance were necessary to meet modern standards and increase the facility's attractiveness to potential tenants.
• The perimeter of the warehouse required a safety upgrade to be amenable to the occupancy of other tenants

Actions Taken

With lots of renovations, the team got to work preparing the space:

• Engineering specialists were brought in for the redesign and the removal of the complex 3-tiered storage structure, opening up the facility for refurbishment and new tenant's activities.
• A sub-contracting team was formed to provide a comprehensive upgrade to Early Suppression, Fast Response (ESFR) fire sprinkler systems, making the premises suitable for a wider range of potential tenants.
• The elimination of the existing high pile storage racking systems led to the implementation of widespread maintenance tasks, including slab repairs and mechanical system replacements.

Results

The owner had a new space to work with after renovations were completed.

• The transformed facility, with its modern, adaptable layout and upgraded systems, attracted new leasing opportunities. The space was leased out just three weeks post-completion.
• Despite the project's complexity, it was completed punctually and within budget.
• The property owner was kept informed with routine updates on site conditions and project progression, and the scope was delivered on time and budget.
