The Shoppes at Progress Ridge

Contemporary shopping experience informed by neighborhood context

The Shoppes at Progress Ridge is a contemporary mixed-use development building out of the Big Al’s Bowling Center site and meets the neighborhood’s desire for an upscale shopping experience. SEA’s client for this project was a local, family-owned business acting as developer, owner, and general contractor. This meant that our same ownership, design, and construction team worked side-by-side together through all phases, from concept through construction.

Prior to SEA starting conceptual design, design review approval had been given for 4 separate pad mixed-use retail buildings on the property. SEA noted that the infrastructure and building systems could be greatly simplified and made more efficient by linking the two new adjacent buildings using a bridge element. We managed to meet the requirements of the approved planning while at the same time delivering a developer-driven mixed-use retail project that had efficient floor plate ratios.

This adjustment to the initial concept also means that these buildings are easier to lease. The inclusion of the bridge element makes the floorplates more efficient and adds value to the project as well, extending its lifespan and saving future resources.

The Shoppes at Progress Ridge is highly informed by a Pacific Northwest aesthetic. SEA’s inspiration was drawn from the surrounding neighborhood and the larger local context. The buildings utilize a contemporary blend of wood, stucco, masonry, steel, and glass to establish it as a high-quality commercial center.
