Location: Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Size: 200,000 square feet
Client: Frew Development Group, LLC

Architects: PFDA, CASCO, ADA
Challenges: utility coordination, accelerated schedules, weather
Builtech worked with Frew Development to redevelop the Westdale Mall in Cedar Rapids, Iowa starting in 2016. The project consisted of converting a two-story 100,000 square foot Von Maur and a 120,000 square foot Yonkers in to multi-tenant buildings, a ground-up 40,000 square foot turn-key Burlington, a ground up 20,000 square foot turn-key Petsmart, various tenant buildouts, and extensive façade work.
The existing buildings presented more challenges than originally anticipated. Wet and dry utility coordination and construction, to accommodate numerous demanding national credit tenants, in antiquated building, required creativity, and highly-focused collaboration with tenants, design professionals, public utilities and the city.
