South Towne Square sits at 32nd Avenue and Columbia Road in one of Grand Forks’ busiest retail corridors.

When the original contractor was unable to complete the project on an acceptable timeline, Great States Construction was brought in to finish the work and get progress moving again.

What followed was a ground-up assessment of what the property needed.

Infrastructure updates included new gas and electrical systems, grading corrections that had allowed water intrusion, updated demising walls to meet fire code, and a full rekey of the center. A new service sidewalk was added along the back of the building where tenants receive product.

The overall goal was to create ready to fit-up spaces that would function for a wide array of tenants that South Towne was expecting.

With the foundation in place, the team delivered four tenant fit-ups in close succession: L.A. Formal and Prom, Cosmoprof, HOTWORX, and Julie’s Nail Bar.
