J. Calnan & Assoc. completes 60,000 s/f Boston Harley-Davidson dealership

J. Calnan & Associates, studio TROIKA and WB Engineers have recently completed construction at Boston Harley-Davidson, located at 649 Squire Rd. This project was a 60,000 s/f gut renovation of two existing core and shell spaces into a new showroom which included service, sales, office, and bike storage spaces for the new dealership location. The project scope included both exterior and interior work. The exterior work included site work, underground utility services, repaving, and landscaping, while the interior work involved a full demolition down to the building envelope and the build-out of a brand new MEP/FP, as well as all architectural components. To bring both buildings up to current code standards, the team completed comprehensive structural upgrades including 100 new 40' deep piles. The end result is a cutting-edge new space that reflects the attitude of the Boston Harley-Davidson brand.
