aguire’s Commercial Site Development services were developed in response to our desire to provide the best, most innovative and cost‐ effective solutions to meet the needs of our clients. We established a position as a leader in the commercial site development field by combining technical innovation and practical solutions. Each project provides clients with a wealth of professional knowledge aimed at meeting their specific needs. No matter how large or small, our clients receive satisfying solutions. When you hear about innovative solutions, Maguire is the firm often associated with such projects. Our approach begins with listening closely to the needs of our clients, both technically and financially. The lines of communication that we develop during the course of the assignment provide a forum to exchange ideas and to pose alternative solutions. We offer client participation in every phase of the work so when the final service is offered or product is developed, there are no surprises. Maguire has an enviable record of meeting our commitments for on‐time/on‐budget projects. Maguire Group has saved clients millions of dollars through innovative, creative and practical engineering solutions. We understand that while project permitting is a priority, permitting a project which involves substantial onsite and public improvements is not necessarily in the owner’s best interest. We also understand the urgency required of our developer clients. Time is money, and it is our responsibility to pick a permitting path that expedites the approval process. By providing a full array of services and the flexibility to tailor those services to meet each client’s specific needs and financial parameters, Maguire has developed long‐lasting business relationships with our clients. Our 90 percent repeat business record is a clear indication that the work we produce—and the working relationships we develop—result in very satisfied clients. Many of our clients have been with us for over 20 years.

arly identification and understanding of critical development factors can assure the fast‐track design and approval required for successful commercial development projects. Finding the right spot to develop is challenging; municipalities have become sophisticated with their requirements, environmental issues must be dealt with, and, most importantly, the site must be attractive to prospective owners or tenants. Maguire’s full‐service team works closely with developer and national commercial clients and hotel owners to identify major site issues early in the design stage, resulting in conceptual site plans and cost estimates that are both realistic and consistent with our client’s goals. Our highly skilled employees, each dedicated to ensuring project success, work closely with clients on conceptualization, design, and construction oversight—and do so with an emphasis on cost‐savings for the client. Maguire’s services don’t stop there, however. Our comprehensive land development and engineering services continue through the issuing of site plans and specifications, permitting, owner’s project management, and construction administration and inspection.


M

aguire’s architects, engineers and environmental scientists have an in‐ depth understanding of the various regulatory and environmental conditions impacting site development and have worked closely with the regulatory agencies in gaining approval for the numerous permits involved. Our clients benefit from this relationship through the informed approach our professionals bring to regulatory requirements. Maguire’s innovative approaches maintain compliance for many years into the future. Some Maguire wetland solutions have even opened the way for site development in areas once thought impossible to build near or around. Maguire’s expertise and experience in land and site development allow us to find the most cost‐effective solutions for our clients. We work with owners, architects, developers and contractors to design in cost controls which allow the owner to negotiate leases and other tenant‐related issues with knowledge of construction costs. Our close working relationships allow owners to complete multiple lease build‐outs while concurrently working on base building construction. We also offer rehabilitation / renovation services to expedite tenancy periods. Maguire uses Building Information Modeling (BIM) to manage the entire development process through pre‐construction and construction phases to building occupancy, benefiting the owner by resulting in:

Maguire Group Inc. Architects/Engineers/Planners

Working with The Procaccianti Group (TPG), Maguire Group conducted a feasibility study for converting the existing guestroom AC and heat pump units to a fan coil system. These renovations became part of a larger renovation/conversion when the Harvey Hotel became the Westin Dallas-Ft. Worth Airport Hotel. The Harvey Hotel was a 15-story, 500-room, full-service hotel with conference and exercise facilities. The hotel had no major renovations since it was built in 1988. There were 14 floors of guestrooms, and the first floor contained service areas to accommodate conference and banquet functions. A meeting room was located on each of the ninth through fifteenth floors. At the time of the study, most of the building’s major mechanical systems were approximately 16 years old and were original to the building. In some cases, newer equipment had been installed or parts had been replaced as part of routine maintenance and mechanical upgrades. The feasibility report addressed requirements related to the installation of a guestroom fan coil unit system. Additional information was provided as a result of discussions with the engineering supervisor, a building survey, and an examination of available plans.

In 2002, Maguire Group Inc. was retained by The Procaccianti Group (TPG) to prepare a Building Evaluation Report of the property located at Atwells Avenue in Providence. The property was built in the early 1960s and is a 13-story building constructed in the heart of the city adjacent to the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. The report was prepared by Maguire Group’s architects and mechanical, electrical, civil, structural and plumbing/fire protection engineers. Life safety and ADA accessibility deficiencies, based on the latest building codes, were identified and prioritized along with the associated costs. The conceptual designs and costs for a new façade were also developed. Ultimately, TPG hired Maguire Group to provide full architectural and MEP design services in the renovation/ rebranding of this building from a Holiday Inn to the Providence Hilton Hotel. The building received a new “skin,” complete enhanced public spaces, and renovation of all floors and guestrooms. A three-level glass atrium was constructed and is home to a full-service Starbucks and Shula’s 347 Grill. Maguire Group was familiar with the property from having provided architectural and engineering services to repair the nearby 213-car, 40-year-old cast-in-place concrete parking structure. These repairs were implemented in 2004. This conversion had the support of Providence Mayor David Cicilline, who believed the project would “boost tourism and conventions, providing new economic activity and well-deserved relief for property tax payers.”

Design, Planning, Permitting and Engineering Services Providence, Rhode Island

As part of Rhode Island's overall Capital Center/River Relocation Project—which provided for the urban renewal of downtown Providence and included major commercial, residential and retail development, public parks, and relocated railroad tracks and city streets—Maguire Group has provided extensive planning and design services from concept through construction to the City of Providence. We have also worked with the city on its earlier efforts in the 1980s.

Clients: City of Providence, RI Dept. of Transportation (RIDOT), and Commonwealth Development Features of the Projects 

Significant site-related challenges were encountered requiring effective design and permitting strategies to expedite the approval process.

Grading and earth volume studies were required to balance onsite flood storage capacity, wetlands, and stormwater treatment systems involved in realigning and restoring the rivers.

Coordination with rail and federal highway agencies, as well as with RI environmental and coastal zone management entities, was required.

Costs: Varied by Assignment Dates of Completion: All completed except ongoing I-195/I-95 relocation (due 20082010)

Maguire Group Inc. Architects/Engineers/Planners

Key to the massive Capital Center urban renewal project was the relocation of the banks of Providence's two downtown rivers (the Moshassuck and Woonasquatucket), removal of ancient decking over the Providence River, and relocation of railroad tracks – thus reclaiming the City's waterfront and freeing up over 60 acres of land for redevelopment. Maguire played a major role in the planning and execution of these logistical challenges and the continuing development and expansion of the downtown area. Major components of this "world class" project included: Memorial Boulevard Extension, Capital Center, Civic Center Interchange, Francis Street Bridge, Crawford Street Bridge, relocation of Interstate 195, river relocation, the Riverwalk park system including Waterplace Park, and a system of floating docks to accommodate water taxis as part of Rhode Island’s state-wide water transportation system. Maguire continues our services for the revitalization of Providence by serving as lead design engineer for the relocation of the I-195/I-95 intersection, which will open up the Old Harbor section of the Providence waterfront. As a full-service provider, Maguire is well-suited to provide this wide array of planning, design, permitting, engineering and construction-related services.


River Daylighting set the stage. Significant site-related challenges were encountered requiring effective design and permitting strategies to expedite the approval process in “daylighting” the Woonasquatucket and Moshassuck rivers, long buried under concrete. The largest urban renewal project in the city’s history involved rerouting automobile traffic and building 12 new bridges. A downstream post office at the junction of the Woonasquatucket and Moshassuck Rivers could not be moved, so the rivers were redirected. Grading and earth volume studies were required to balance the onsite flood storage capacity, wetlands, and stormwater treatment systems involved in realigning and restoring the rivers. Maguire coordinated with rail and federal highway agencies, as well as with state environmental and coastal zone management entities for permitting and zoning issues.

Bridges along the Daylighted Rivers

Pedestrian Bridge Interior

Civil engineering services included the design of drainage and utility systems and modifications to adjacent roadways, as well as traffic engineering. The drainage design included a unique weir system to distribute stormwater longitudinally along the Woonsaquatucket River, thus avoiding additional point-source discharges. Geotechnical engineering services included sub-surface explorations, a geotechnical report, design of pile and caisson foundations, and monitoring of the pile driving and caisson installations. A total of 2,000 piles and 160 caissons were installed to a depth of approximately 100 feet. The Providence Place Pedestrian Bridge serves as a connector between Providence Place Mall and the Westin Hotel and Providence Convention Center. Its sculptural form and striking yellow paint make the bridge a prominent and highly visible gateway to downtown Providence. The bridge is formed by parallel arching trusses with cantilevered wings projecting to the adjacent buildings and supported by massive concrete abutments that raise it well above traffic level. Spanning a roadway that provides the main highway access to downtown Providence, the bridge’s center span is 126 feet with cantilevered wings of 35 feet and 20 feet. The bridge is fully enclosed by glass, exposing the entire structure to view from both outside and inside the environmentally controlled space and providing pedestrians with striking views of the city’s Waterplace Park. The structural frame, the bridge’s most prominent feature, is formed by steel tubing with all welded connections. This system provides exceptional structural capacity with a light appearance and unobtrusive connections. The structure’s visibility is emphasized at night by interior lighting.

Providence Place Pedestrian Bridge

Maguire Group Inc. Architects/Engineers/Planners

Electrical design for this elevated structure included the power service extension from adjacent buildings, interior and underbridge lighting systems, and power wiring for the radiant floor heating and valence cooling systems.


Providence Place Mall is a 3.2-million-SF multi-level shopping mall and parking garage located on a 13.2-acre site in downtown Providence. The project, completed in 1999, spans two rivers and the Amtrak rail corridor and was one of the largest private construction projects in Rhode Island history. Maguire Group was retained by Commonwealth Development as a specialty consultant for environmental permitting, and civil and geotechnical engineering services. Providence Place Mall

Mall Viewed from I-95

Memorial Boulevard, which parallels the rivers, was the site of major work by Maguire as well. RIDOT selected Maguire to provide final design services for the $40-million Memorial Boulevard Extension Project that re-established the river corridor through downtown Providence. Realignment of the Moshassuck and Woonasquatucket River confluence, opening the Providence River to small boats and restoring part of the historic water’s edge, transformed the river corridor to an urban design resource. Dredging of existing and creation of new river channels improved water quality and provided navigable channels. Maguire’s River Relocation efforts received the Presidential Award for Design Excellence. Having already received this award for our design of the Charles River Dam & Navigation Locks Project in Boston, Maguire is proud to have been one of only two firms in the nation—and the only Northeast-based firm—to have twice received this honor.

Waterplace Park at Night

India Point Park

Maguire Group Inc. Architects/Engineers/Planners

As part of the long-term Capital Center/River Relocation Project, Maguire Group also provided all the planning, engineering and landscape architecture services for Waterplace Park, a key focal point in Providence’s downtown revitalization. The Park provides amenities including water landings, a floating fountain, a public amphitheater and DEM-owned visitor’s center and food court, and links to riverwalks and gardens along the Woonasquatucket River. The Park also links train, water ferry, and bus service with the pedestrian Riverwalk and parking structures for the City’s Convention Center and Providence Place Mall. It is also a favorite gathering place for attendees of the WaterFire Providence® extravaganzas held seasonally on the daylighted rivers. With a panoramic view down Narragansett Bay, India Point Park is a focal point for waterfront events. Maguire was responsible for waterfront structures during park rehabilitation. Work involved landscaping, over 4,000 linear feet of shore protection, and the design of two new public piers. One of the piers—a T-shaped, timber pile-supported ferry pier—includes wastewater pump-out facilities, two timber breasting dolphins, and two 25-ton bollards. The second “Ceremonial Pier” was designed to accommodate visiting Tall Ships. The two piers and the entire park are located outside of the City's major hurricane protection structures and therefore had to be designed to withstand extreme wave conditions and a hurricane surge in excess of 17 feet.


Site Expansion and Alternatives Evaluation/Design Lincoln Park (Twin River Casino) Lincoln, Rhode Island

Client: Lincoln Park (now Twin River Casino) Project Features        

Site Master Plan development Expansion of the complex included the addition of the Chances gaming area and a new dog paddock. New electrical service and distribution. Major HVAC upgrades. Office renovations. Clubhouse redevelopment alternatives required reuse of the existing building’s footprint for zoning restrictions. Site and traffic improvements. Environmental planning/consulting

Cost: $35.0 million Year Completed: 2005

Lincoln Park, now known as Twin River Casino, is the premier gaming facility in Rhode Island. Though modest in size compared to a Las Vegas casino or the Indian gaming venues in Connecticut, Twin River offers a broad spectrum of entertainment opportunities including high-end restaurants and a comedy club. The ‘racino’ experienced a decade of double-digit growth and now has 4,752 video slots—more than any single Vegas casino. Lincoln Park’s physical plant dated from the late 1940s. Maguire Group worked with Lincoln Park management for a number of years and, after completing an initial needs assessment, designed several renovations to key facilities and systems. Particular attention was devoted to the electrical systems, which were found to be operating at capacity and in need of major upgrading. Mechanical systems were also studied in depth, and recommendations were generated to address several operational deficiencies. Lincoln Park had reached capacity in the Grandstand that housed most of its operations. Maguire worked with Lincoln Park to explore the costs and implications of various redevelopment alternatives. The selected alternative, carried through concept development, was for a new three-story, 120,000-sf state-of-the-art facility to house over 1,300 video slots on the first and second floors. Function rooms, restaurants and space for expansion occupied the third level. In conjunction with the design development of new facilities, Maguire Group completed a comprehensive Site Master Plan to expand parking, improve site aesthetics, improve site vehicle and pedestrian circulation, calm traffic and comply with state wetland and stormwater management requirements. In addition, Maguire developed plans for a new $30-million, 120,000-square-foot Clubhouse.

Master Planning Maine State Pier Portland, Maine

Client: Ocean Properties Ltd.

Project Features   

Master planning and conceptual designs Public outreach for consensus Proposals and responses to questions were prepared and await City Council vote

Cost: $150 million (est. to complete pier and environs)

Completion: Planning Process not completed

Used previously by Bath Iron Works and Cianbro Corp., the 85-year-old Maine State Pier and its shed are near the intersection of Franklin Arterial and Commercial Street in Portland. The Portland City Council rezoned the 7-acre property in 2006 to allow commercial redevelopment of the pier and land next to it, with an emphasis on public access and maritime uses. Early in 2007, Portland officials sought proposals for the city-owned pier because it needed at least $13 million worth of repairs, and the city had been unable to find new tenants for the shed. In February 2007, the Ocean Properties Ltd. (OPL) team submitted a $90-million proposal that called for a hotel, an office building, open space, restaurants, a high-speed coastal ferry and a cruise-ship berth, among other features. The Ocean Properties team included the hotel developer Thomas Walsh, former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, Maguire Group for engineering and design, Arrowstreet Inc. for architecture, and Mitchell Rasor for landscape design. The planning process continued through the fall of 2007. Over the many months of planning and resubmittals, the OPL team contacted many parties with a regulatory or special interest in the development of the Maine State Pier including: Casco Bay Island Transit Authority, METRO, the U.S. Coast Guard, Portland Tugboats LLC, the Portland Harbor Master, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Maine Dept. of Environmental Protection, and the Maine Dept. of Transportation, among others. Plans were adjusted accordingly in response to special needs, public request, and changes in direction from the City Council.
