Henry Ford Hospital Parking
Detroit, Michigan
Henry Ford Hospital is continuously in need of additional parking The main hospital campus has undergone significant expansion and continues to grow.

The new parking structure and office facility contain 2,034 parking spaces in a seven-story structure. The site also affords an additional parcel of land on the north side that may be considered for a future expansion

Green Hills Mall
Nashville, Tenessee
The multi-phase redevelopment project began with transforming an underused parking lot into a four-story precast parking structure, designed to eventually connect to the mall and Dillard’s via pedestrian bridges Brick and precast materials were used to complement the surrounding architecture, while heavy landscaping softened the structure’s street presence. A new vehicular entry was also added to improve traffic flow. In Phase II, the existing Dillard’s parking structure was demolished and replaced with a three-story post-tensioned deck beneath a new 180,000-square-foot Dillard’s store, which opened in Spring 2017. This deck was aligned with surrounding roads, featured enhanced wayfinding, and was visually tied to Phase I through matching precast spandrels Phase III followed with the demolition of the old Dillard’s to make way for a new three-story parking structure beneath a 150,000-square-foot mall expansion. This two-level addition, opened in early 2019, connects seamlessly to the existing mall and features skylights, updated interiors, and improved customer access via escalators linking parking to retail.
