80,000 SQ FT

Forever 21 Redevelopment Project Description.

Originally a Mervyn’s Department store, the 80,000 square foot multi-use retail building needed to be reconfigured and reinforced. ECS added a passenger elevator, freight elevator, a pair of escalators, and a monumental stair. We reconverted a Forever 21 store on level one, added a lobby and corridor on level two, and added an annex. On the second level, we’re adding approx. 40,000 square feet of carbon fiber reinforced plastic to increase the support load from 50 pounds per square foot to 100 pounds per square foot, to support the addition of entertainment components such as a bowling alley, arcade games, etc. What made this project an interesting challenge was completing the complex work while existing retail tenants were open for business.
