Transforming Retail Spaces with Design-Build Expertise

ML Group provides retail design-build and construction services, helping to create high-performance retail environments that enhance customer engagement and maximize return on investment. Whether it’s a boutique storefront, a shopping center transformation, or a dynamic food and beverage space, we focus on delivering solutions that align with business goals.
As the retail industry evolves, incorporating elements from hospitality, entertainment, and technology, there is a growing “flight to quality“—where well-designed, experiential retail environments are essential to attracting and retaining customers who might otherwise shop from home. Our integrated design-build approach helps ensure that spaces are both functional and visually appealing. From concept to completion, we streamline the entire process, allowing owners and operators to minimize downtime and open their doors to customers faster.

Why Choose ML Group for Your Retail Project?
At ML Group, we recognize that successful retail environments require strategic planning, efficient execution, and adaptable solutions. Our design-build methodology fosters seamless coordination between architects, engineers, and builders, minimizing risks, optimizing budgets, and accelerating timelines.
While we prefer and work best in design-build formats, we understand that many retail brands have their own internal design teams and brand standards. We are comfortable working alongside these teams and strive to get involved early in the process to integrate their designs and brand identity seamlessly into our construction and project execution.
Key Benefits of Our Design-Build Services:
1. Retail-Focused Design & Construction
Our design-build team works to create spaces that enhance customer experience while balancing financial and operational considerations. We take a pragmatic approach to design and construction, aligning spaces with the business objectives of owners, developers, and operators.
2. Streamlined Execution
Through our integrated approach, we help reduce inefficiencies in traditional construction processes, keeping projects on track and on budget. By managing both design and construction, we help ensure projects meet their deadlines and cost expectations.
3. Experience in Retail Redevelopment
The retail landscape is rapidly changing, with many aging shopping centers and retail spaces requiring repositioning to stay competitive. Our approach allows us to modernize existing spaces, making them more appealing to today’s experience-driven shoppers and forward-thinking tenants.
4. Operational Continuity During Renovations
We understand that keeping a business operational during a retail renovation is critical. Our strategic phasing approach helps retailers remain open while undergoing updates, ensuring revenue streams are maintained while enhancing the customer experience.
