Decatur Desert Plaza is a ground-up retail plaza at North Decatur Boulevard and West Lone Mountain Road, with Harris Associates as general contractor following our preconstruction management of the project. The program comprises two retail shell buildings and four fully improved building pads held ready for future development — bringing the plaza online while preserving flexibility to expand as demand and tenancy evolve.
Preconstruction aligned scope, budget, and sequencing before the first shovel hit the ground, and shaped a site strategy in which infrastructure, utilities, and improvements are built out across the full parcel — so the future pads require no return to raw ground when they come forward. Harris secured the early grading permit, mobilized, completed the boundary survey, and carried out mass grading of the parcel.
The scope spans on- and off-site development and civil infrastructure, grading, relocation of existing dry utilities, site lighting and site improvements, and mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems for the buildings. Off-site work fronts two arterials — North Decatur Boulevard and Lone Mountain Road — including storm drain, a new turn lane, street-light and traffic-signal relocation, and median reconstruction.
