Coastal Partners has completed the BJ's Wholesale Club at 200 Crown Colony Road in Quincy. The 84,000 square foot club is the first mid size prototype for the BJ's Wholesale Club in New England which typically averages 120,000 square feet.
"Prior to construction the property was a vacant, 40,000 SF, industrial printing facility which had contaminated soils, asbestos, and failed storm water management systems," said Michael DiGuiseppe, Managing Partner of Coastal Partners LLC. "Now, the property has been remediated with a new state of art storm water management system and a vibrant retail environment exists with BJs."
Rather than design the traditional BJs façade Coastal offered upgraded façade design elements to blend into the Crown Colony Office Park including; brick, pilasters, crown molding, and softer colors and textures.
The project provided 300 union construction jobs, and brings approximately 250 full and part time jobs to the community. The development represents a $20 million investment in the city of Quincy. The official groundbreaking, including the Mayor, all City Council Members, State Senators Mariano and Morrissey was held in September 2009.
Coastal Partners' development team included Construction Management & Builders Inc. (CMB) of Lynnfield, Mass.; RJ O'Connell & Associates Inc. of Stoneham, Mass.; Ci Design of Boston, Mass.; and Vanasse & Associates Inc. of Andover, Mass.
The Quincy Club joins 20 other BJ's Clubs throughout the state.
