Irmscher's understanding of the design and construction of retail space dates back to the 1960s with experience at both major malls in Fort Wayne and the late 1980s when Irmscher designed and built several outlet malls throughout the Midwest.  We have designed and built projects ranging from several hundred thousand square feet to facilities of five thousand square feet.  We understand the uniqueness of each project and the importance  and special needs driven by tenants. Irmscher's experience includes tenant occupied Class A office spaces and single tenant restaurant facilities: 

Examples of successful projects are:

• Indiana Factory Shops is a 230,917 square foot retail outlet mall. This four-building retail outlet mall was constructed using the site-cast, tilt-up concrete wall construction method. This facility included eighty different retailers, in addition to a food court and outdoor playground facility. All buildings are connected by covered walkways. 
• Apple Glen Shoppes, a  98,800-sq. ft. retail facility, required attention to separate budgeting and schedule for each retail tenant while maintaining a safe, uncongested work site that did not disrupt the operations of existing nearby retail facilities.
• Hires Auto Parts, a new 26,000-sq. ft. facility, was designed to provide cutting edge convenience and service for both customers and employees.  It houses a parts sales area, parts warehouse area, 24 service bays, an Express Lube operation, fleet and diesel truck repair operation, drive-thru vehicle drop off and comfortable waiting lounge with a children's area.
• Habegger Furniture had an extremely compressed schedule in which to renovate a 22,000-sq. ft. facility to serve as a furniture retail showcase for Habegger Furniture and Smith Brothers of Berne, Inc.
• Cottage Flowers needed to update and expand to serve the downtown customers while continuing business as usual on this main thoroughfare.  Several unique challenges were met to enlarge the facility to 5,200-sq. ft. including a new delicatessen and a gift and flower showroom.
• Manufacturers Marketplace Retail Outlet Mall - Oshkosh, Wisconsin is a 239,000-sq. ft. shopping mall  which required a 36 week schedule to completion including the design and construction to meet the Owner's move-in date.  The project was completed well within the schedule and well under the original budget.
• Manufacturer's Marketplace Outlet Mall - Traverse City, Michigan is a 125,000-sq. ft. shopping mall which was phased by Irmscher to deliver seasonal return of the Owner's capital.  It is an upscale center that required predictable delivery, close supervision and adherence to a phased schedule.
• Manufacturers Marketplace Retail Outlet Mall - Edinburgh, Indiana is a 187,000-sq. ft. shopping mall which was delivered on time even though the project experienced 91 days of rain during its 185 day schedule.
• Bloomington/Normal Factory Shops - The first phase of the 220,000-sq. ft. complex consists of a 127,100-sq. ft. pre-engineered facility containing 38 lease spaces, with an area for the Town of Normal Police Department.
• Carpet Craftsman - The 7,650-sq. ft. facility possesses many elements uncharacteristic of a typical flooring store, such as a winding staircase leading into an open loft sample library, and a small balcony overlooking a lowered floor rug display.
