The owners of The Grove at Shoal Creek and its development
partner Trammell Crow Company have selected Balfour Beatty to build
the first phase of The Grove’s mixed-use portion of the project.
The 402,553-square-foot development situated on 4.14 acres will
include a Class A commercial office building, a separate mixed-use
Class A office building and a 538-car parking garage.
“The owners of The Grove and Trammell Crow Company are committed
to developing projects that significantly enhance their communities
and we’re honored to be their construction partner on this
project,” said Ed Prendergast, business unit leader for Balfour
Beatty in Austin. “We have a valued history of working together and
greatly appreciate the trust the owners and Trammell Crow have
placed in our team to deliver this unique project that will bring
momentum to Austin’s next significant destination.”
The first phase of the The Grove’s mixed-use project, designed
by Gensler, adds to Balfour Beatty’s portfolio of innovative,
sustainable and modernized commercial office spaces. By targeting
Austin Energy Green Building certifications for all 206,676 square
feet of the commercial office and retail areas, the project will
result in buildings that are energy, water and
materials-efficient.
The new development is located within walking distance of a new
16-acre signature community park, in addition to pocket parks,
dedicated bike lanes, ponds and water features. An outdoor event
plaza will include pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and centuries-old
heritage oak trees. The Grove’s approach to sustainable development
is designed to enrich the community’s environmental, economic and
human well-being.
Balfour Beatty will leverage the latest technologies and lean
construction methods to deliver the project, including building
information modeling (BIM) software, digital documents, drone
technologies to document progress on site, and BIM360 Field for
quality assurance. At its peak, the project will employ a team of
170.
The project kicks-off construction in November with this first
phase of The Grove scheduled for completion in early 2020.
