Mixed Use Centers
Atlantic Station
Owner: Atlantic Station LLC & Development Design Group
Architect: Wakefield Beasley
Creating the foundation and overseeing the construction of the infrastructure of a 138-acre, $2 billion mixed-use complex is challenging enough for any general contractor. Add in a brownfield location, and Atlantic Station in midtown Atlanta is an exceptionally complex project that required extraordinary cooperation among its developers, designers and general contractor VCC to complete. Charged with coordinating the construction of infrastructure for the entire complex, including the linkage to existing freeways, and the building of The District, an open-air retail and residential complex, VCC organized communications and schedules with multiple developers, government agencies and other builders to ensure an on-time and on budget completion of a particularly challenging project. To achieve this feat, VCC laid foundations, both literally and figuratively, to build a city within a city.

Coconut Point is a mixed-use development, the largest single development in Estero Florida at nearly 500 acres. It’s made up of large residential areas with a central retail/commercial town center. At the focal point of this lively community, VCC constructed more than half a million square feet of retail space. Above that, on the 2nd story, VCC also built residential condominiums, and office space. This retail town center is a vibrant, open-air mix of commercial activity: shops and restaurants, entertainment venues and public courtyards—a gathering space surrounding several acres of lakes and boardwalks—all in a Mediterranean Revival style designed to fit gracefully into the Southwest Florida landscape. VCC not only constructed retail spaces, but also the extensive hardscape, which included a variety of concrete finishes, Mediterranean aged stucco EIFS, and a host of details, right down to pet friendly water fountains—all designed to create a unique living environment.

It includes more than 100 retail, dining, and entertainment outlets. The central shopping area with a 3.5-acre feature lake includes promenades, play areas, an amphitheatre, lakefront dining and outdoor cafes.

All these features are combined with the largest movie theater in Iowa, state of the art fire detection and suppression, and a variety of exterior facades and finishes.
Las Colinas Village
Owner: Las Colinas Village Ltd.
Architect: Hodges & Associates PLLC
A particularly challenging construction effort due to the unstable nature of the soils on this site in Irving, this project required overexcavated and moisture-conditioned building pads and a combination of hundreds of cased straight-shaft piers, shallow bell piers and structural slabs. As a finished product, Las Colinas Village represents the paramount in lifestyle center design, finished with elaborate cultured stone veneers, imported clay tile accents, detailed stucco/eifs trimwork, custom cloth and brushed-metal canopies and historical re-claimed clay tile roofing. Elegance permeates the shopping experience for a discerning consumer market at this 21st century retail showcase.
