Saving Time and Money
Faced with complex structural decisions and budget constraints, the Brinkmann team delivered innovative solutions that kept the project affordable while maintaining quality:
- Smart Structural System Selection: After evaluating multiple podium-level structural systems, structural steel was strategically selected due to cold-weather timing, local market conditions, and the need for large slab-steps to accommodate taller retail ceiling heights.
- Collaborative Design Approach: Throughout the design phase, Brinkmann provided comprehensive guidance on structural details and finish material selections, ensuring every decision aligned with budget goals.
- Phased Turnover Strategy: The project was designed with a phased completion approach, delivering the first half of units and amenity spaces two months ahead of the final completion date, followed by the remainder of units, all delivered ahead of schedule.
- Total Project Savings: Approximately $1 million through smart design decisions and collaborative planning.
Community Impact
Summit at West Pryor represents the first phase of a larger master-planned development that will ultimately include an additional multi-story apartment building, nearly 80 townhomes, and additional stand-alone retail, including a grocery anchor. This comprehensive approach to mixed-use development creates a vibrant community hub that serves residents while supporting local commerce.
