LogistiCenter at Pacific Gateway is located at the corner of West Valley Highway and South 196th St. in Kent, WA. This site encompasses 38.7 acres of land within the Pacific Gateway business park and includes 5 class A industrial warehouse buildings with truck docks, vehicle parking, sidewalks and landscaping. The site is partially located within the 100-year FEMA floodplain. The previous development of the Pacific Gateway Business Park filled the site and provided most of the required compensatory FEMA floodplain storage volume. Some additional compensatory volume was provided with this project in an underground perforated pipe and rock gallery. The pre-existing site was mostly bare, with building pads for future development. Geotechnical investigation discovered that previous surcharge loading had been done on a portion of the building pads, but additional surcharge was required to provide for the full footprint of each building. Conventional spread footings were recommended by the geotechnical engineer.

The project features 5 warehouses, totaling nearly 800,000 SF. Each building features 30-36 FT of clear-height, with 10% dedicated to office spaces and the other 90% for warehouse space. LogistiCenter exceeds parking expectations, with 14 lots and a total of 1,033 out of the 1,007 required total stalls on site. The location also features over 29,000 SF of outdoor space with amenities for employees including covered pavilions, benches, tables, bike racks, a basketball court and a bocce ball court located in 2 beautifully landscaped amenity spaces! Our team provided civil engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture, partnering with Nelson Architecture, Sierra Construction, Shutler Consulting Engineers, Inc., and Terra Associates, Inc.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE

Habit Burger recently celebrated the grand opening of their University Place location. The new restaurant is located on the highly traveled Bridgepoint Way, near the Green Firs Towne Center. This two-phased project includes two quick-serve restaurants on adjacent parcels, Chipotle and Habit Burger.

Barghausen partnered with Confluent Development to provide civil engineering, land surveying, and landscape architecture services for the project. The development started with the removal of an existing 5,000+ SF restaurant (formerly known as Massimo, or Captain Nemo's from years prior). Our team assisted with the site plan for the 2,600 SF Habit Burger restaurant that offers a drive-thru and 25 parking spaces. The drive-thru design needed close coordination with the architect and contractor due to unique requirements.

Our team prepared plans for grading, paving, horizontal control, storm drainage, detention and water quality treatment, sanitary sewer services, grease interceptor layout, domestic water services and the storm water pollution prevention plan (SWPPP).

Frontage improvements included sidewalk upgrades, driveway access improvements, ADA ramps, landscape improvements and storm and utility adjustments. Due to the topography on the site, a retaining wall along the southern side of the lot was required.

Our landscape team designed the planting plans and irrigation system for the site. Landscape plans required collaboration with adjacent property owners to troubleshoot existing trees along boundary lines. An arborist was brought in to assist with the removal process.

Avalon Bothell Commons

The Avalon Bothell Commons is a multifamily mixed-use community with an array of living options, commercial space, walkability, community and connectivity. The project consists of a 23 acre development that will house 23 multifamily buildings with over 6,000 sf of commercial retail space on the ground-level. The multifamily spaces will offer the city of Bothell over 800 new apartment units and 110 townhome units as additional living options. Community spaces, including a playground and a park with walking trails, offer residents connectivity throughout the various residential and commercial areas. The new neighborhood will also feature a pool with an amenities building and multi-story parking garages.

Barghausen partnered with AvalonBay Communities, LLC for the development of this project. Our team provided civil engineering, land surveying, permit expediting and construction administration services. Our survey crews provided ALTA, boundary and topographic surveys for phases one and two of the project. Our civil team was involved in providing conceptual, entitlement and construction documents for this project which included demolition, existing conditions, site plans, SWPPP, horizontal control grading, utilities, road profiles, tree retention, water and sewer design. The stormwater design includes 7 different underground detention vaults that route to an existing drainage system.

CONSTRUCTION ADMINISTRATION 

Bridge Point I-5 is an industrial park in Milton, WA that is currently under construction. The completed park will have a total of four industrial buildings on 117 acres. Barghausen partnered with Bridge Industrial to provide civil engineering, land surveying, land use planning, landscape architecture and permitting services for the site.

The first phase is nearing completion (2023) and features a 1,032,692 SF building with 40’ clear height, double loaded dock configuration, 490 parking stalls and 75 trailer stalls. The second phase of the Bridge Industrial project will include the remaining three buildings that total 920,000 SF.

Our engineering team designed a stormwater vault that will hold 2,000,000 cubic feet of stormwater for the entire site. This is one of the largest stormwater vaults Barghausen has designed to date. The team had to design around 100 feet of fall across the site.

We were involved in designing over two miles of road improvements on Milton Avenue, Porter Way, and Pacific Highway, which encompassed widening the pavement, improving gutters and sidewalks, realigning intersections, improving storm drainage, and adjusting utilities. These plans include a new roundabout and bridge crossing. The site offers direct access to I-5, SR99, SR-18, and the Port of Tacoma.

“As Seattle continues to attract new residents and businesses, this campus represents a key piece of infrastructure to support booming supply chains and ensure the region’s economy can continue to grow.” - Justin Carlucci, partner for Bridge’s Northwest Region
