EPCON  

Eden Prairie, MN  

This Eden Prairie Convenience Center received a major exterior remodel. We installed new railings landscaping, and used a highly engineered Helica screw and shot-Crete system to hold the soils in place, then we created two (2) tiers of retaining walls.

WELLS FARGO PLAZA

Bloomington, MN  

EXTERIOR RENOVATIONS

The Wells Fargo Plaza (WFP) project was a $2.5 million renovation of the first and second floor elevator lobbies and connecting entry link, all completed while the building was occupied and tenant accessibility maintained. The project also included exterior canopy improvements, as well as the addition of twenty-four, ten-foot stainless steel chevrons mounted at the top of the building. The Bainey Group worked closely with the building management and the Midwest Peregrine Society to install these without disrupting the nesting pair of peregrine falcons that call the top of WFP home. The LED lighting technology incorporated in the chevrons adds a beautiful luminescent feature to the Bloomington skyline.

ELEVATOR LOBBY RENOVATIONS

While the old elevator lobbies had a dark, more confined feeling to them, the newly remodeled lobbies have a bright, more open feel. This was accomplished with the installation of anigre wood paneling, Fiorito Rojo marble flooring and elevator columns, and the use of art glass, bronze, and indirect lighting in the space. Two floor openings were also created between the first and second floor west elevator lobbies to give a sense of special recognition for those entering the building. Major structural work was accomplished in the first floor restaurant ceiling to create these openings while still maintaining the grills and serving line.

ENTRY/COMMON AREA RENOVATIONS

The most radical change occurred in the entry connecting link, where the existing second floor was removed, and new structural members were added to support a second floor walkway and the a new and expanded two-story art glass curtain wall. A two-story marble water feature was also added to this space making the area a calming welcoming front entry environment. This work also opened the area to make a wonderful space for the building to hold special events, as the banding of the peregrine falcon chicks. Quite a change from the old dark tunnel effect of the old entry.

GROVE SHOPS - MAPLE GROVE MALL

Maple Grove, MN  

The improvements at Grove Shops, involved updating a 1980’s exterior façade, to a modernized façade, including new EIFS system, prefinished metal paneling, aluminum and glass storefronts, and down-lighting. In addition, the West end of the building was converted from one large tenant space to three smaller tenant spaces which now presents tenant’s storefronts and signage to the city’s main infrastructure, rather than a side-street. This project was completed in 8 weeks.

MAPLE GROVE MEDICAL BUILDING

Maple Grove, MN  

This unique two-story addition replaced a portion of the existing single story-structure that has been a landmark since Maple Grove was just a suburb of Minneapolis. This project involved the construction of new footings and new mechanical and electrical systems. The new design required a combination of mansard roofing and flat roofing to help ease the transition between the new and existing buildings along with brick and EIFS exterior finishes.

TONIC OF UPTOWN

We tore the roof off - literally. Added structural steel framing and put a new roof on the building to support roof top dining. Demolition of the entire interior of the previously resided Lakeland Dental Academy. Everything in the building, with the exception of the four exterior walls, is new including the electrical, mechanical and fire systems. The exterior walls were brought back to the original brick. There are four bars, two lounges, a dance floor, full kitchen for upscale dining, banquet room, decorative brickwork, catwalk overlooking the main dining room and a 26-foot tall ceiling on the 2nd-floor. Along with the rooftop dining with unobstructed views and an impressive array of materials and finishes throughout, it is now one of the hottest new restaurant/nightclubs in the city.

THE BAINEY GROUP, INC.

Plymouth, MN  

When The Bainey Group decided to build its new corporate offices, the goal was to express the core values of the company and display the true quality and craftsmanship that only their clients had experienced to date. The offices were designed not only as a showcase for construction materials, methods, and products, but also to demonstrate how an energetic design can affect the daily work environment in a positive way.
