The Boston Dick's House of Sport location is the first in New
England.
BOSTON, May 10, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Against the backdrop of the 128th Boston
Marathon, Gilbane Building Company successfully delivered a new
Dick's House of Sport on Boylston Street, ushering in the sporting
goods chain's first location in New England.
The experiential Dick's House of Sport concept offers the same
equipment and athletic apparel as traditional stores, but also
provides interactive space where shoppers can find inspiration and
practice their skills. Amenities within the House of Sport include
an indoor rock-climbing wall to work on strength and balance; a
mulit-sport HitTrax cage; a golf center to hone skills and
customize gear, and more.
Gilbane's scope of work included the interior fit-out of the
120,000-SF space with selective interior demolition, large
structural modifications, a renovation to the existing façade, as
well as fire protection, plumbing, HVAC, and electrical upgrades to
support the new use of the space.
Attached to the Prudential Center and situated directly on
Boylston Street, the project's logistical challenges were complex.
Alongside the large renovation scope, the Gilbane team navigated
multiple, complicated structural upgrades, managed permitting
processes with the City of Boston,
and added a clerestory roof that adds natural light to the
immersive experience areas, all in a tight, highly trafficked urban
location on a very tight schedule.
"Gilbane is so excited to successfully deliver the Dick's House
of Sport project as a first-of-its-kind retail experience in the
City of Boston," said Justin MacEachern, vice president and business
leader for Gilbane in Massachusetts. "This opportunity has been
truly unique, and I cannot thank our team enough for their
tremendous effort in ensuring the project's on-time
completion."
The Boston Dick's House of Sport location is the first of its
kind in New England.
