Rite Aid - Lima, OH
Venture One constructed their first ever store for Newton Oldacre McDonald, a Rite Aid Pharmacy in Lima, OH. This project was developed from the ground up on the corner of Market and MacDonald streets. It required the demolition of multiple structures and minor road improvements done in coordination with the city's efforts of repaving the roads. The Rite Aid was one of three stores being built in that area at the same time. The project was a complete buildout with decorative fence and brick pilasters surrounding the property. The project was completed on time and under budget and received an award from the City of Lima for best looking building in the city quadrant.

Haverty's Furniture Store - Florence, KY
Venture One's construction of the Haverty's Furniture Store was another successfully completed projected. This was the first store that Haverty's and Venture One completed together and due to the many challenges and opportunities would be considered a success. The complete renovation of an existing office supply store into one of the nations most premier furniture stores was completed on schedule and successfully made a long awaited (by the residents of the community) grand opening. The project build incorporated complete reworkings of all mechanical and electrical systems while maintaining the warm, relaxed atmosphere created by the attention to every detail from the large amount of carpet to every last nail head in the crown moulding.

Venture One completed the fast track construction of another new 14,000 sf grocery outlet in Florence, Kentucky, in 19 weeks concluding in November 2004. This was the fourth successful grocery project in the partnership between Venture One, Paradigm Design, and Gordon Food Service.

This project included construction of a portion of city roadway leading to the remainder of the new development behind the site, which had to be integrated with the existing neighboring bank site.

Venture One's completed the construction of this approximately 4,000 SF Jos A. Bank Clothiers store in the winter of 2004-2005 as part of an ongoing construction partnership between Venture One and Jos A. Bank Clothiers.

Lowe's Garden Center � White Marsh, MD
Venture One Construction doubled the size of the Lowe's garden center in White Marsh, Maryland with an approximately 17,000 square foot addition. In order to satisfy local planning and zoning boards, the project combined architectural split faced, scored, and smooth custom colored block with ornamental iron fencing for aesthetics, while also satisfying the stringent Lowe's security requirements with continuous expanded mesh in all areas. The project also included upgrading of the existing paving to a new concrete design, as well as upgrading of the site lighting for increased safety and customer access to the new area. The addition was completed through bitter Maryland weather in the late fall and early winter of 2004.

This is one of many garden center and staging area additions that Venture One has produced for Lowe's Companies in order to increase its rapidly growing garden center and lumber/large equipment revenues. All Lowe's garden center and staging area projects are completed during full store operation, requiring intense security, safety, and traffic coordination to avoid hampering Lowe's operations.
