U.S. Green Building Council - Leed CertifiedThe 151,000-square-foot Huntington Target store was constructed on an 18-acre site in twelve months, concluding in October 2013. The scope of work included building a 60- by 700-foot evergreen retaining wall, a first for Schimenti. Over six months, the company created the wall using a pre-cast structure, which eventually will be completely overgrown by ivy. The store’s walls were made of 230 pre-cast concrete panels, enabling the company to erect the building in just ten days. To meet final elevations, Schimenti exported 50,000 cubic yards of soil.
The store is LEED-certified and encompass Starbucks, Food Avenue, Optical Pharmacy, Photo Lab and Guest Services mini-scopes.
