High-Performance Retail Spaces.
From sleek tenant build-outs to rapid storefront renovations, Twenty Eight Construction delivers high-quality commercial projects on time and on budget. We manage every trade and streamline scheduling so your doors open faster and your rent rolls remain uninterrupted
Tenant Build-Outs & Retail Fit-Outs
Smarter Preconstruction & Precision Execution:
Taking a commercial space from "white box" or "warm shell" to grand opening requires sharp logistical coordination. We specialize in custom tenant build-outs and commercial interior fit-outs that maximize space utility and reflect your precise brand standards.
Comprehensive Space Planning
Before a single hammer swings, our preconstruction planning phase identifies and resolves potential design, code, and structural conflicts. We work closely with your design team to optimize your physical layout, ensuring maximum square-footage efficiency, strict commercial building code compliance, and a seamless transition from blueprints to physical build. This proactive process eliminates costly mid-construction changes, ensuring your commercial project stays on schedule and on budget.
Custom Retail & Office Millwork
The physical touchpoints of your business define your brand experience and dictate how customers interact with your space. We deliver precision-crafted architectural millwork, including custom cash wraps, functional point-of-sale areas, bespoke product displays, and eye-catching feature walls designed to guide customer foot traffic naturally. Our custom fabrication ensures that every built-in element is highly durable, commercial-grade, and tailored to support your team's operational flow.
Fully Integrated Trades
A successful retail or office environment relies on a complex web of mechanical, electrical, and structural systems working in perfect harmony. We handle the complex coordination of every specialized trade on-site, ensuring that your commercial HVAC, architectural lighting, specialized flooring, and structural interior partitions are executed to exact specifications. By centralizing this management, we prevent scheduling overlaps and guarantee that all building systems align beautifully with your day-to-day operations.
Revitalizing Your Property’s Curb Appeal
Elevating your property's exterior curb appeal is the most direct way to attract high-quality retail tenants, drive active customer foot traffic, and maximize the overall market value of your commercial real estate portfolio
First impressions dictate the value and success of commercial real estate. To attract high-caliber, modern tenants and retain active shoppers, your property must feel current, safe, and inviting. Twenty Eight Construction provides full-scale exterior storefront and interior renovations designed to breathe new life into aging commercial strip centers, standalone retail structures, and corporate offices. By pairing high-impact visual upgrades with modern, open layouts, we help property owners protect their long-term investments, increase lease rates, and elevate overall asset value.
Facade & Storefront Modernization
The exterior of your building is your property’s handshake. We specialize in upgrading aging facade systems, installing high-durability commercial glass panels, and remodeling structural entryways to create a sleek, contemporary aesthetic. By carefully coordinating premium exterior finishes, commercial-grade materials, and modern architectural elements, we dramatically boost your property’s curb appeal—making it an attractive, highly visible destination for foot traffic and top-tier retail brands alike.
HVAC & Mechanical Retrofitting
A beautifully designed interior still requires efficient, reliable mechanical systems to maintain comfort and protect your inventory. We specialize in reworking older, inefficient climate control systems with custom commercial HVAC design and installation tailored to your building's layout. Our mechanical retrofits improve indoor air quality and ventilation while lowering monthly building operating costs, giving you a more efficient facility and preventing costly system breakdowns.
Code & ADA Compliance Upgrades
Keeping a commercial property fully accessible is both a legal necessity and a baseline operational standard. We execute seamless ADA compliance upgrades, including structural modifications to commercial restrooms, expansion of entryway clearances, and the installation of code-compliant concrete ramps. We ensure your entire layout aligns perfectly with modern local building standards, shielding your portfolio from liability while ensuring a barrier-free experience for every visitor.
Minimizing Vacancy Downtime
Minimizing vacancy downtime is critical to protecting your cash flow and maintaining the momentum of your commercial real estate assets.
Every single day a commercial, retail, or multifamily space sits empty between leases represents a direct loss of rental income and an unnecessary drain on your portfolio's profitability. At Twenty Eight Construction, we specialize in rapid-turn services designed to prepare your property for its next occupant without the typical delays associated with general contracting. Our fast-turn protocols are engineered to quickly white-box, repair, and refresh your spaces, allowing property managers and landlords to get new tenants signed and operating as fast as possible.
De-Identification & White-Boxing
Before a new tenant can envision their brand in your space, the previous tenant's footprint must be completely erased. We execute thorough de-identification and "white-boxing" services, stripping out customized fixtures, repairing worn drywall, updating flooring, and restoring the interior to a clean, neutral slate. This rapid reset transforms your vacant unit into a premium, move-in-ready shell that is instantly attractive to prospective leaseholders and commercial brokers.
Accelerated Scheduling & Workforce Scaling
Traditional construction schedules can drag on for months, but vacant spaces demand an immediate, urgent response. We deploy highly coordinated, multi-trade crews under a single point of management to compress project timelines from months to mere weeks or days. By scaling our workforce to match the urgency of the turn and coordinating overlapping trades seamlessly, we eliminate scheduling gaps and keep your vacancy period to an absolute minimum.
Predictable Budgets & Value Engineering
Turnover costs can quickly erode your leasing margins if they are not tightly managed from the start. We provide transparent, upfront estimates and targeted value-engineering solutions to ensure your suite refresh is highly cost-effective without sacrificing the quality of the finishes. This financial discipline guarantees you receive a clean, compliant, and durable commercial space ready for occupancy without any unexpected cost overruns.
Proactive Asset Protection & Facility Upkeep
Protecting the long-term value and operational efficiency of your commercial assets requires a proactive, reliable partner who can address facility issues before they impact your tenants' business or your bottom line.
A single deferred maintenance issue—whether an aging roof leak or a failing climate control system—can quickly escalate into a costly operational disruption, a tenant dispute, or lost revenue. At Twenty Eight Construction, we act as an extension of your property management team, providing responsive, highly professional facility maintenance and repair services across your Metro Atlanta portfolio. By offering a single, accountable point of contact and fully licensed, multi-trade capability, we keep your physical properties running smoothly and your tenants completely satisfied.
Commercial HVAC Maintenance Plans
Unplanned climate control failures can completely disrupt a retail business, compromise patient care, and lead to immediate tenant complaints. We provide structured commercial HVAC maintenance plans, including seasonal inspections, routine filter changes, and preventative system tune-ups tailored to your building's mechanical footprint. This proactive approach extends the operational lifespan of your heavy mechanical equipment, optimizes energy efficiency to lower utility bills, and prevents emergency system shutdowns during peak business hours.
Commercial Roofing & Structural Upkeep
​Your building’s structural envelope is its primary defense against the elements, making routine inspection and fast repair of roofing systems absolutely essential. We deliver specialized commercial roofing services, targeting flat roofs, TPO membranes, and structural exterior repairs with minimal disruption to your tenants' daily operations. By identifying and repairing minor wear, flashing issues, or structural vulnerabilities early, we protect your tenants' interior inventory and secure the physical value of your real estate investment.
Comprehensive Handyman & Electrical Services
Daily wear-and-tear in high-traffic commercial and retail environments demands quick, reliable attention to prevent safety hazards and aesthetic decline. Our team handles your daily facility maintenance work orders, ranging from dry-wall patches and commercial door hardware repairs to electrical upgrades and plumbing fixture relocations. We act as your single, on-call source for every trade, resolving minor issues rapidly and providing clear, before-and-after digital photo documentation for easy administrative sign-off.
A Streamlined Process Built for Commercial Success
Managing a commercial construction project should never feel like a second full-time job for property managers or business owners.
At Twenty Eight Construction, we eliminate the administrative headaches, communication gaps, and paper-shuffling typically associated with general contracting by replacing outdated, chaotic workflows with modern, structured digital oversight. By centralizing every phase of the project—from early estimating to final sign-off—we keep your build perfectly aligned, highly transparent, and rigorously on schedule, allowing you to focus on running your business while we handle the logistics.
Centralized Oversight
We believe that successful commercial projects are built on absolute clarity and real-time visibility. Through our centralized oversight model, we provide you with a single, highly accountable point of contact and regular, structured progress updates so you always know exactly where your build stands. By proactively identifying and mitigating potential supply chain, permitting, or scheduling risks before they ever impact the field, we keep tight project timelines completely on track and budgets strictly controlled.
Vetted Subcontractor Network
You should never have to worry about the reliability, licensing, or safety standards of the workers on your commercial property. When you partner with us, you work directly with our core project management team, who coordinates a highly vetted, fully insured, and licensed network of premier local Atlanta tradespeople. Every specialized subcontractor we bring to your job site has been thoroughly screened for quality of craftsmanship, professional conduct, and strict safety compliance, ensuring your facility is always in expert hands.
Transparent Closeout Documentation
A project is not truly finished just because the physical construction is done; a professional handover requires thorough, organized administrative execution. We pair our on-time project completion with a meticulous digital closeout package, featuring comprehensive project manuals, manufacturer warranties, signed inspection approvals, and clear, chronological before-and-after digital photos. This transparent documentation ensures a hassle-free, rapid sign-off from landlords, lenders, corporate offices, and municipal inspectors alike.
Retail & Commercial Real Estate FAQ
Protecting Foot Traffic & Accelerating Rent Generation
For commercial landlords, asset managers, and brokers, extended project timelines mean deferred rental income. We focus on tenant improvements (TIs), facade modernizations, and rapid space resets designed to elevate property value while keeping active shopping centers functional. By pairing our trade partner network with licensed GC supervision, we deliver dependable project coordination that respects your lease commitments.
Q: Can commercial tenant build-outs be executed outside of regular business hours?
A: Yes. To protect foot traffic and surrounding operations, we routinely schedule heavy structural work, demolition, and high-noise tasks during evening shifts and weekends. This allows neighboring retail tenants to operate uninterrupted during peak shopping hours.
​
Q: What does a retail "white-box" space reset involve?
A: A white-box reset restores a vacant commercial bay to a clean, code-compliant baseline ready for custom tenant fit-outs. Our team coordinates drywall repairs and finishing, floor slab preparation, standard lighting and electrical checkups, basic HVAC verification, and fresh paint, helping commercial brokers market a clean, attractive space to prospective tenants.
​
Q: How do you help keep grand opening timelines on schedule?
A: We construct reverse-engineered master schedules tied directly to target lease commencement dates. By coordinating material procurement early and managing our trade partners alongside licensed GC oversight for inspections, we work proactively to keep key project milestones moving forward smoothly.
​
Q: How are major exterior or facade updates managed around active retail shoppers?
A: Site setups feature highly visible safety barriers, covered pedestrian walkways, and clearly designated material staging areas to isolate construction activity from public paths. This allows us to update exterior curb appeal while keeping the property safe, inviting, and fully open for customer foot traffic.
