	Duvall Retail Center</h2>
<p>A 12,000 SF small shop retail center in a newly incorporated city. This project was the product of a new city staff working with a new code. The long term residents of Duvall must have felt they progressed from a rural to a gentrified community at somewhere near the speed of light.</p><p>We faced numerous code challenges in the development of this site. The city required us to build a &quot;pedestrian&quot; oriented center, albeit there were no pedestrians nor pedestrian connections within a mile of this rural site.&nbsp; Issues we needed to address were pedestrian connections and entries to the street, required parking in the rear, building modulations, varied roof planes and no permitted drive thru&rsquo;s on the main street were a few of the other design/budget challenges we needed to solve on this site. While I fought the process I believe future generations will like the product.&nbsp; An interesting side bar; we paid $700,000+ for city mitigation fees which equaled more than the land cost.</p>
