Complete mechanical and plumbing design for transforming historic sleeping barracks and a mess hall into 170,000 SF of retail shops, anchor tenants, restaurants and office space. About 350 acres of the former naval base was targeted as a place for a mixed-use development. Liberty Station Marketplace represents the retail aspect of the project. Vons, Trader Joe’s and Starbucks are among the retail establishments that moved into the site. The base’s chapel was completely renovated and converted into a commercial wedding chapel. A central plaza was kept and connects to landscaped courtyards along the original historic promenade. The retail development is one of the final pieces in revitalizing the former Naval base into a thriving community.
