Langan Retail 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 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.

The Shops at Nanuet

OVERVIEW
This 60-acre outdoor lifestyle retail center contains approximately 780,000 SF of gross floor area and replaces the former Nanuet Mall, a traditional enclosed shopping center. Langan provided survey, site/civil, geotechnical, traffic, landscape, natural resources, and permitting services. Langan also performed construction phase services including asbestos abatement, air monitoring, and demolition oversight. Langan played a significant role in keeping the project on an aggressive six-month schedule while minimizing reconstruction of improvements and change orders.

The SoNo Collection

OVERVIEW
The SoNo Collection is a state-of-the-art urban mall designed to provide exciting public amenity areas and add 2.5 million SF of mixed-use and retail space. The mall is ideally situated at the intersection of two major highways—Interstate 95 and State Route 7—and along the Metro-North Railroad. This project involved exhaustive traffic studies, including the analysis of 29 intersections. Langan’s design introduced one of the first adaptive traffic signal control systems in the state, multiple new traffic signals, the reconfiguration of city and state roads, and pedestrian enhancements. We also mitigated several challenges, including the relocation of utility infrastructure running through the site via two former city roads and the implementation of an extensive stormwater design within a floodplain and sensitive coastal management areas.

The village also has landscaped courtyards and at-grade parking. Langan’s geotechnical engineers designed the foundation and slabs to resist the effects of the highly expansive surficial soil blanketing the site. Our environmental team conducted Phases I and II Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) as well as a soil gas investigation, and provided a site mitigation program.

Bloomin’ Brands

OVERVIEW
Bloomin' Brands hired Langan to perform an evaluation of site locations for their recent national expansion, which included a combination of new locations, as well as existing restaurant expansions.

Langan performed site evaluations for each location, which focused on zoning constraints, development timelines with various regulatory agencies, parking analysis, alcoholic beverage restrictions, impact fees, and water and sewer connection fees. Langan's quick turnaround and comprehensive evaluations provided a great value to Bloomin’ Brands decision making process.
