Shawmut Design and Construction, located at 560 Harrison Avenue in Boston, has been awarded construction of the new Tag Heuer store at the Aventura Mall, located at 19501 Biscayne Boulevard in Aventura, Fla.
The project features a 1,200 sf fit out, and is designed by Sawicki Tarella Architects. Because the mall remains open during construction projects, one of Shawmut’s top priorities is to mitigate the noise and dust created by the project to minimize disruption to the present guest experience.
The project began this month, and is scheduled to be completed by end of the year.
This is the second store build Tag Heuer has awarded Shawmut Design and Construction. The first location, at City Center in Las Vegas, was completed earlier this year.
Shawmut is the top construction management firm for the world’s most popular and exclusive brands. In 2011, Shawmut has managed construction projects for Tag Heuer, Lacoste, Uniqlo, Tiffany & Co., Tom Ford, Louis Vuitton, Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Chanel, Barney’s, and Apple. BD+C
