Challenge
Foot Locker sought to create a multi-level flagship store in the heart of Times Square within an ambitious 18-week construction program. Spanning the basement through the third floor, the project required substantial structural alterations, new building systems and vertical circulation, all within the constraints of a busy Manhattan retail location.
Solution
G&T provided Project Management and Cost Management for the 29,000 sq ft fit-out. Works included new mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems, a glass storefront, and structural openings for escalators, elevators and a conveyor system. The project required careful coordination of structural modifications and building services to deliver the new retail environment within the accelerated schedule.
Outcome
Completed in 2017, the flagship established a prominent Foot Locker presence on Broadway, bringing multiple retail experiences together in a high-profile Times Square location. The successful 18-week delivery also formed part of a wider relationship, with G&T subsequently providing Project Management and Cost Management services for seven additional Foot Locker stores across New York, Los Angeles, Detroit and Philadelphia.
