Creating a vibrant retail and restaurant center from a former grocery store.

This adaptive reuse saw a 40,000 sf building, that once served as an HEB grocery store, converted into a thriving retail center in the heart of a growing college town.

The depth of the existing grocery store was not conducive to smaller retail tenants, so the building was divided to separate the front from the rear of the building. The back was designed to accommodate a 20,000 sf brewing facility for Hops and Grain. The front half was further subdivided to create usable retail spaces for a restaurant and fitness center.

The building’s façade was refreshed with new brick, copper metal panels, and wood-clad entry canopies to create an inviting, modern aesthetic.
