Target Small-Format Stores

Henegan has worked with Target Corporation on multiple store assignments, all intended to bring this national retailer’s new Small Format Store concept to life in NYC. These stores are smaller than normal big-box Targets, carry items curated for the particular neighborhood, and typically feature a CVS pharmacy, a Starbucks café, grab-and-go food offerings, and full grocery departments with refrigerated showcases.

Henegan recently completed Target’s latest of more than ten Manhattan stores, this one in the bustling Times Square district, “The Crossroads Of the World.” This 35,000 square foot site includes a 42^nd Street vestibule lobby with new escalators and passenger elevators to access the main store level below. Consistent with its place in the heart of Times Square, this store features state-of-the-art, 80-foot-tall Target LED signage facing 42^nd Street. Eye-catching interior design elements include custom mosaic tilework and a metal mesh ceiling with the Target logo and “Times Square” incorporated into its design.

Other new format Target stores in NYC built by Henegan include:

A 55,000 SF three-level Target on E. 86^th, accessed by four escalators, four elevators, and two cart conveyors; scope included excavation, shoring, and new and modernized vertical transportation.
A 25,000 SF two-level store on 3rd Avenue (Upper East Side). Work included shoring, vertical transportation, polished concrete floors, exposed concrete and brick, open ceilings, and incorporation of an existing cellar bank vault.
A 20,000 SF two-level store on 2nd Ave (Kips Bay), including new elevator cabs and escalators.

The renovation of existing buildings to build multi-level, high volume retail stores in dense urban environments poses unique challenges. Target has chosen Henegan to accomplish these assignments based on our vast experience and expertise in managing and executing all elements of NYC retail construction, including strict health and safety practices, work in tight quarters and adjacent to occupied areas, aging building infrastructure, maintaining lines of communication and cooperation with landlord, building foundations, structures, MEP systems, refrigeration, vertical transportation systems, retail showcases, lighting, flooring, interiors finishes, and unique signage.

Henegan’s use of advanced construction and communication technologies contributes to the success of Target’s retail projects. For example, using PlanGrid onsite ensures swift resolution of field condition RFIs and adherence to the latest design updates.
