Retail Construction

More than a building a space, building an environment

At Sunseri Associates, we understand that retail construction is more than just building a space — it’s about delivering an environment that enhances brand visibility, attracts foot traffic, and supports profitable tenant operations from day one. Whether we’re constructing shell spaces for national retailers or customizing high-finish interiors for boutique tenants, we deliver every retail project with a clear focus on schedule, coordination, and curb appeal.

Our team has completed multiple high-profile retail projects across Northern California, including buildouts and renovations at Arden Fair Mall, Market Square, and Davis Commons. We partner with leading developers like Fulcrum Property Group and Macerich to create high-performing spaces that serve both landlords and tenants in dynamic retail environments.

What Sets Retail Construction Apart

Retail is fast-paced, coordination-heavy, and brand-sensitive. Developers need a contractor who can:

  • Deliver on compressed construction timelines
  • Coordinate across multiple tenant scopes and finish levels
  • Navigate mall, mixed-use, or high-traffic environments with minimal disruption
  • Manage strict landlord design guidelines, signage requirements, and utility layouts
  • Provide open communication with both tenant reps and leasing teams

Whether it’s a single storefront or a major center renovation, we ensure retail projects are delivered on time, on budget, and move-in ready.
