As Construction Manager at Risk for the Bakery Square, PJ Dick was faced with the challenge of accommodating the Owner’s need to provide parking, to-be-determined retail space, and a health club - including swimming pool - into a single structure. We selected a precast structure because it afforded the maximum space and tenant flexibility while maintaining building material consistency and construction details for the cast-in-place concrete swimming pool on the second floor.”

The Bakery Square redevelopment is a six-acre mixed-use project; the main facility was converted from an abandoned Nabisco Bakery and now features office and retail space. New structures include an Urban Active fitness facility, 992-car parking garage with retail space on the first level, and a Marriott SpringHill Suites hotel.
Bakery Square is LEED Certified by the U.S Green Building Council. The “green” features include solar energy, wind energy, a green roof, as well as the sustainable attributes of precast concrete.
The original parking garage design called for a cast-in-place structure. However, during the preconstruction value engineering effort, the design was changed to precast concrete, due to the tight limited inner city site access and high volume of vehicular traffic, which resulted in a $300,000 savings to the owner. Other benefits of using precast were a more efficient bay layout and an increased parking count at no additional charge.
