TRB Development Group, Inc. has completed renovations and conversion of an existing retail building at 1148 Saratoga St. into a new CVS Pharmacy. The 21,850 s/f project near the Winthrop town line includes grocery store-style check out lanes, urban graphics, and a display window. BKA Architects of Brockton designed the spacious retail/pharmacy, which features a new partial brick façade over existing block with Alucobond aluminum composite panels, drive-through, new entrance canopy, large pharmacy, and a healthy skin area.
At the rear of the property, TRB created a fenced swale planted with seven varieties of trees and numerous shrubs to create a buffer between the retail store and the protected marshes. The swale was certified by a wetlands biologist to conform to environmental standards. In addition, TRB embedded metal plaques in front of sewer grates in the parking lot to alert shoppers not to pour liquids into the drains, as those pipes flow directly into Boston Harbor.
