The City of Charlottesville is serving as the project administrator overseeing the improvements being designed and constructed as part of the renovations on the Downtown Mall. The City staff is working to insure that all improvements are communicated and coordinated with the mall residents, businesses, and users.
The City competitively selected MMM Design Group to work with the
community and key stakeholders such as business owners, residents and
City officials in both designing the upgrade and in accomplishing a
successful implementation schedule.
MMM Design Group is a
full-service architecture, engineering, and planning firm headquartered
in Norfolk, Virginia with an office in Charlottesville, Virginia. With
our multidiscipline team of experienced architects, planners, civil,
structural, electrical, and mechanical engineers, as well as interior
designers, MMM is committed to providing excellent service.
Barton Malow Company was selected by the City of Charlottesville to
serve as Construction Manager for the project. As such, the firm will
work closely with both the City and MMM Design Group, Inc. during
preconstruction to ensure that the project is successful from both a
budgetary and scheduling standpoint, and that logistical goals and
expectations can easily be met. Barton Malow will also act as the
Construction Manager Agent during the construction phase.
Barton Malow established its regional office in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 1987 to better serve a growing list of repeat clients in the area. Since then, their personnel have successfully managed construction of some of the most complex and time critical projects completed in the area.
Van Yahres Tree Company is responsible for providing tree condition
surveys for all trees located on the downtown mall. This tree
condition survey reflects the current condition of the trees and
recommendations for a comprehensive tree replacement program going
forward.
Trees are a treasured part of our community and a
natural legacy for future generations. Van Yahres Tree Company is
committed to protecting the health and beauty of trees to ensure that
they will be a part of our community history and landscape for years to
come. Van Yahres Tree Company’s history dates back to 1919 when the
founder, George Van Yahres, was hired to help restore the grounds at
Monticello. Van Yahres is committed to providing services and
contributions to the community that will continue to make the Downtown
Mall and Central Virginia a special place to live, work and raise our
families.
