Burlington
Redefining Excellence Through a Remodel Program
Burlington's remodel program has engaged our civil, architecture, and interior teams to focus on façade renovations, optimizing the sales floor, creating a prototypical flow, and enhancing flooring, lighting, and fixtures to positively impact the shopper’s experience.
These efforts began with utilizing the software PlanGrid to create a store survey that assessed existing conditions, determined store size, and generated a report. Tenant improvement plans were then drawn up to include demolishing the existing space to accommodate new or reconfigured sales areas, office space, fitting rooms, restrooms, and a stock area. Exterior façade upgrades typically included minor modifications to the front of the space to reflect the company’s most recent branding, often incorporating a new entrance or storefront feature.
In addition to the roll-out program, our architecture team also partnered on a takeover program for the brand. When Bed Bath & Beyond closed its retail stores, Burlington acquired a large number of their locations, securing 50 properties to support their growth plans. Burlington identified the need for value engineering, so our team started with an architectural survey to determine which features of the existing space could remain in place while also identifying elements that did not meet regulatory compliance and required updates. The team’s strong communication skills and workflow helped identify the necessary components in each store to manage the conversions as efficiently as possible.
