The architects of this shopping center in Lee's Summit, Missouri, needed a construction methodology to help them meet the aggressive 150 day construction schedule set forth by the owners. By choosing THERMOMASS and tilt-up construction they were able to meet their goal.

THERMOMASS allows the panels to serve structural and insulation functions limiting the need to incorporate multiple materials and trades.

This lifestyle center was constructed as ten shell buildings for some of the nation’s largest retailers including Best Buy, Borders, Dicks Sports, TJ Maxx, Old Navy, Famous Footwear and Petco. THERMOMASS met all of their design and energy needs.

The project’s location and the fact that it was the first significant retail development in the southeast Kansas City metro area made it a highly visible project. Great effort was taken to ensure architectural appeal with the application of Indicot Brick, colored concrete with a sandblasted finish and other masonry accents.
