Edmonton, AB – In November, after much anticipation, Star Mechanical Edmonton proudly opened the doors to its brand new 20,663-sq. ft.
building. Qualico Commercial developed the facility, providing a unique
opportunity for the builder to collaborate and consult with the tenant during
the design and construction of the facility.

“The venture was initiated with Qualico
Commercial back in 2018,” said Brian Yaremchuk, Manager, Star Mechanical
Edmonton. “Our old building just didn’t accommodate the size of our company
anymore. The warehouse was too small, the parking was limited, and we outgrew
the space. 

“It is not too often that we have the tenant on
board at the initial design stage of the project,” said Anthony Kovacic,
Project Manager, Qualico Commercial Edmonton. “We were able to get Star
Mechanical’s support and feedback on the overall design of the building and
site, including the interior layout and storage yard area. We were also able to
coordinate the interior design with the base building design, and we worked
together to provide early access for the tenant improvement construction.”

The only downfall to the new building is the
inability to celebrate its opening with colleagues, neighbours, partners, and
the public due to the ongoing pandemic. However, the Star Mechanical team is planning
to host an open house at a later date.

“Now that we are officially moved in, we have
already recognized a closer connection amongst everyone within the building,”
said Brian. “The synergy between all Star Mechanical teams is in full motion. It
is an incredible building, and I would like to thank everyone, including Qualico
Corporate, Qualico Commercial, all the trades and suppliers, and the Star
Mechanical staff. We now have a space that better meets our needs today, with the
potential for expansion tomorrow.”
