San Luis Obispo Downtown Center

Owner Name:
Copeland Properties
City /County Location:
San Luis Obispo, California

Project Description:

A 90,000-sq.-ft. retail center with a seven-screen (below grade) movie theatre complex and a mix of high-end retail and food service tenants. Pedestrian-friendly project designed as the city center for activity and as a destination for visitors.

Special Feature or Interesting Aspects of Project:

• Main switchboard is rated 3,000 amps (at 120/208 volt) and is arranged for flexibility of accommodating tenants.
• Feeder routing to tenant spaces was especially challenging due to the pedestrian walkway dividing the project into two separate structures.
• Because the theatre complex is subterranean, a slab dewatering system and lift station with standby power backup was installed.
• Worked through design requirements of major retailers such as GAP, Express, Barnes & Noble, Jamba Juice and more.
