This project included selective demolition of the existing Sears anchor building and complete demolition of the Sears Tire & Battery building. After demolition, the former Sears building was expanded and a new 120,000-square-foot LifeTime Fitness building was constructed in existing parking lot.

Significant site plan modifications were made to the existing parking lot to accommodate the new building. V3 was able to provide a site plan that lost only 31 parking spaces, despite the addition of the new 40,000-square-foot building footprint to the existing parking lot.

During the feasibility phase, V3 worked closely with the local sanitary district to confirm that there was adequate capacity for the increased demands from LifeTime.

V3 coordinated with Nicor Gas for a gasmain relocation that was necessary for the new building.

V3 provided a strategic grading design so that much of the existing stone base could be reused and only a limited amount needed to be disposed of offsite.
