Open-Air Shopping Centers

Open Air

The broad spectrum of open-air centers includes neighborhood and community centers, conventional strips, as well as power, outlet and lifestyle centers. These are an important part of today's retail landscape. And knowing the best ways to build and improve upon them is becoming an increasingly sought-after skill.

Open-air centers feature a range of façades and architectural elements, often requiring significant site improvements and infrastructure work. Graycor Construction's extensive preconstruction capabilities, permitting assistance and supplier coordination help our owners and tenants successfully achieve their opening dates, every time.
