The Pinecrest commercial development in Cleveland, Ohio, is an 80-acre suburban mixeduse district featuring high-end retail, residential and entertainment components. Pinecrest consists of 14 shell structures that house premier shopping and dining venues, Class A office space, a boutique hotel, an apartment complex, and 2100+ parking spaces.
The Needs
- A turn-key safety fire system capable of adapting across mixed-use structures
- Easy to install at multiple locations concurrently
- Time and budget sensitive for key stakeholders and landlords
- Functions stand-alone or integrates into larger safety network
The Challenge
General contractors, hired by the individual landlords, were building out multiple shell buildings and sub-spaces concurrently. Each space needed to incorporate its own fire safety system, which had to function and be monitored as a stand-alone circuit. Managing dozens of simultaneous installations across varied scopes, with different contractor partners, required a fire system that was consistent, easy to mass-replicate, turn-key out of the box, and compatible regardless of the size of structure. In addition, all of these individual systems had to be compatible to eventually link together into one overarching fire security checkpoint, centrally located at Pinecrest’s security office.
Designed as a village-style concept with luxury brand commercial tenants, Pinecrest is quickly becoming “the” high-end destination for day tourists and residents alike.
With the phased launch targeted to complete in 2019, the multi-building development needed an intuitive fire safety system that could be implemented and replicated quickly, grow as the property expands, be efficient and cost effective to install, and easy to operate by facilities personnel.
