31st Walgreens Submitted for Permit


I have been working on this project since this last May and it was submitted to the city for plan check last week.  This is an urban site and there were a number of constraints.  The project consists of a new Walgreens Drug store and a small Pad Building for a tenant.  Normally Walgreens likes their building to be placed back with the parking between them and the street.  At this location however, the city required us to place the buildings directly on the street with large windows to “reinforce the urban fabric”. 


This is the first building that I have submitted under the latest 2010 California Building code, which includes CalGreen energy requirements.
