Value-Engineered Construction Alternative

OpenStore at The Gateway at Wynwood

Engineered Group was tasked with installing architectural finishes in the newly constructed Gateway at Wynwood for its new tenant, OpenStore.

The Gateway at Wynwood, located at the intersection of the iconic Wynwood and Midtown Miami neighborhoods, provides roughly 195,000 square feet of leasable Class A office space and nearly 25,900 square feet of prime street-level retail space.

OpenStore occupies 14,914 square feet and was the first tenant to move into the recently completed building.

The Goal & Challenges We Faced

As is the case in many projects we tackle, our team was brought in to provide a value-engineered alternative for construction projects looking to stay within their target budget and timeline.

Gateway at Wynwood required a substitute for real wood veneers, which would not be available for 12 weeks, with an Architectural Finish (valued engineered product) within 45
days.

Our Involvement

The Gateway at Wynwood were looking for an affordable option to make their walls standout. To do this, we engineered 1/8” Sintra panels (Class A fire rated) to hide any imperfections in the existing drywall. These panels provided the perfect substrate to accept the Architectural Finish.

Using Reatec Architectural Finishes

After discussing with the client the vision for their project, we landed on using Reatec architectural finishes to help create the space that they wanted. We used Architectural Overlay Reatec to cover the Sintra panels at a fraction of the cost of real wood.

Reatec is an excellent option for clients looking to renovate their space or in new construction builds as it is lightweight, highly durable, affordable, and can be applied to both interior and exterior applications. There are over 1000s of patterns and finishes to choose from, including metal, wood, stone, and leather. For this project, the designer decided to go with a wood grain to upgrade their space.

The Result of Our Involvement

Our clients turn to us to help them transform their space at a fraction of the cost they expected to pay with traditional methods. That is exactly what we helped accomplish for OpenStore at The Gateway at Wynwood. Because they choose to use our value-engineered products:

  • The Sintra panels cloaked with Architectural Finishes were a fraction of the cost of real wood, not only saving the client time, but money as well.
 
  • The Architectural Finishes were available in seven (7) days.
 
  • The project was completed in five (5) days.
