Gilbane Building Company is providing construction management services for the DICK’S House of Sport new retail location in Downtown Boston, Massachusetts. Once complete, this will be the first House of Sport located directly in an urban center.
The House of Sport location will provide athletes with an assortment of products, along with in-store experiences, including a climbing wall, multiple golf bays with TrackMan simulators and multi-sport cages that can be used for baseball, softball, lacrosse and soccer.
Gilbane’s scope of work includes the interior fit-out of the 118,000-square-foot space with selective interior demolition, large structural modifications and a renovation to the existing façade. Additionally, the project includes fire protection, plumbing, HVAC and electrical upgrades to support the new usage of the space. The building sits two stories above street grade with a sub-level parking garage; all three levels, including the roof, will be renovated.
The Gilbane team has taken extra precautions regarding safety, as the building is connected to the highly trafficked Prudential Center and is situated directly on one of Boston’s busiest streets. Some of the logistical challenges for the project include multiple structural upgrades, the added clerestory roof that will add natural light to the immersive experience and the tight project schedule.
The project is slated for completion in 2024.
