DiMarco Group creating unique layouts for niche retail clients

Rochester, NY DiMarco Group has assisted local businesses create unique layouts in retail locations for customers’ needs.

“We love when clients have a vision for what they’d like their businesses to look like,” said Paul Colucci, VP of development and construction for DiMarco Group. “It lets us get creative with how to make it a reality, and really welcome them to the property.”

Silk Bridal wanted an intimate yet rustic feel for their new location. DiMarco melded modern industrial design with a timeworn aesthetic. The team suggested laminate flooring with a distressed wood print to achieve the desired look with a low maintenance, durable product. The storefront lets natural light flood the space and achieves openness throughout the boutique. Partitions offer privacy without sacrificing space for inventory. Galvanized steel piping created the boutique’s racking, supported by the roof structure so that the gowns would hang freely.

The owner of Project Lean Nation requested his new space be outfitted in a stylish, yet strong fashion so customers who focus on personal strength would feel in their element, but still able to relax. The renovated property features a raw, industrial design, including a polished concrete floor, large storefront windows that open the location to natural light, exposed ductwork, concrete counters and a black walnut juice bar.

“The new location is the center of the universe for my business and client base,” Project Lean Nation owner and founder Tim Dougherty said. “DiMarco made my dream come true.”

Webster Family Medicine, a project of University of Rochester Medicine Primary Care, outgrew its space and needed an improved HVAC system, wider hallways and larger exam rooms to meet patients’ needs and requirements from the Department of Health. DiMarco Group built a new 10,000 s/f building for the project, including 18 exam rooms, a large treatment room for geriatric patients and patients with disabilities, and a lab next door.

“It’s light and bright with lots of windows, and the finishes are just lovely,” said Kathleen Andre Brown, project manager for University of Rochester Primary Care. “The DiMarcos actually came out and spoke to the practice manager–she was very impressed with that.”

It seems as projects continue to mount, this trend of specialized spaces for specific client bases isn’t going anywhere. As needs and interests continue to diversify local populations, businesses will continue to service them.

“Each of these new spaces becomes an interesting and challenging adventure for builders,” said John DiMarco II, president and COO of DiMarco Group. “We’re excited to be riding this wave of creativity and client service.”
