Langan Grocery Store Qualifications

Bringing Value to Your Vision

Having vision in business has less to do with what you can see and everything to do with what others can’t. When it comes to grocery store and supermarket retail development, this means seeing the potential of a site when no one else can. This also applies to what we do at Langan. Seeing what can’t be seen is the key to our success. We help retail developers understand what they are up against with respect to land development and environmental issues. Langan’s reputation for technical excellence in the retail market was earned by devising unique ways to maximize a site’s GLA and designing efficient site plans, which translate to significant cost savings. Langan also brings years of urban, high-density experience to the retail sector, maximizing a site’s potential. Furthermore, our neighborhood LEED design approach, coupled with the fact that Langan also offers geotechnical and environmental services for sites challenged by difficult subsurface conditions, makes us the one-stop shop for retail development projects.

Bottom Dollar Food Stores

OVERVIEW
Langan worked on multiple new Bottom Dollar Food stores that were developed to serve Pennsylvania communities previously under-served by discount grocers. Langan provided site/civil engineering, survey, landscape architecture, geotechnical engineering, parking design, intersection design, and traffic study services. We also worked closely with city staff and developers to produce a design that not only met the grocery store’s development criteria but also provided the aesthetic the city was looking for. Langan was instrumental in obtaining the necessary permits and approvals to allow the developer to keep these projects within the desired timeline and budget.

Crest Plaza

OVERVIEW
Langan provided a full range of services for the redevelopment of a 28-acre site known for having severe flooding issues. Crest Plaza is a 160,000-SF retail center located in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The new shopping plaza is anchored by Target Greatland Store and Weis Markets along with a bank, Eckerd and restaurant pad sites.

Sinking Spring Shopping Center

OVERVIEW
Langan provided land development services for the 25-acre Sinking Spring Shopping Center with anchor tenant Redner’s Warehouse Market. The site is located in a geological region of Pennsylvania that has high incidences of sinkholes, requiring the implementation of geotechnical engineering practices, including proof drilling and grouting, sinkhole remediation, and construction monitoring as the site was cleared. Langan also designed and permitted the stormwater management system and soil erosion control plans, and designed and permitted a sanitary pump station and pump house, to replace an existing under-capacity pump.

Delco Centre

OVERVIEW
The Delco Centre is a 46-acre retail development. The development consists of 397,125 SF of retail and restaurant space and includes such tenants as Lowe’s, Giant supermarket, TJ Maxx, Bob Evans and Chili’s. To revitalize the site, Langan provided geotechnical, site/civil and infrastructure engineering on the substantially vacant older retail center that was partially undeveloped and adjacent to a limestone rock quarry. Existing topography had a change in grade of over 60 feet through the site. As a result, extensive geotechnical investigations were performed including a proof drilling and grouting program design along with rock excavations. In addition, the site design included 20 foot two-tiered retaining walls.
