Wagner Place

Overview

The project involved redeveloping two existing commercial properties and a historic hotel into a mixed-use building spanning Monroe Street in the west commercial district of Dearborn. The development includes ground-floor commercial space with office space on the upper floors. Civil engineering design services were required to support the redevelopment. Work also extended into the public right-of-way, where sidewalks and curbs along Michigan Avenue, Monroe, and Village Drive were removed and replaced to provide consistent finish floors for retail spaces and maintain ADA-compliant entries. New utility services and stormwater pre-treatment were provided.

Problem

Redevelopment of the commercial properties and historic hotel required coordinated site work, updated utilities, and ADA-compliant access. Existing sidewalks and curbs along multiple frontages no longer aligned with the new finish floors, and stormwater handling and utility service needed improvements to support the mixed-use building.

Solution

Civil engineering design services delivered site and public right-of-way improvements, including removing and replacing sidewalks and curbs along Michigan Avenue, Monroe, and Village Drive to achieve consistent finish floors and ADA-compliant entries. New utility services and stormwater pre-treatment were also provided for both sets of buildings.
