Wheaton – Mariano’s Fresh Market - 2013 

Located at the NWC of Roosevelt Rd and Naperville Rd, Mariano’s is situated on +/- 6.90 acres of the larger +/- 22.71 acre development site. The site is located at the southern gateway to Downtown Wheaton and is situated between two lighted intersections.

This overall site was the former Hubbel Middle School. A complex demolition effort was undertaken to separate the middle school from the gymnasium that remains. Storm-water management design and implementation was a major design force given the existing flood plain conditions. Underground detention (Storm-Trap) is located under the main parking lot.  Coordination with the Wheaton Park District consisted of coordinated joint efforts to repurpose the existing gymnasium, redesign the ball-fields, and construct a Gateway Garden feature. Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) coordination was critical for the off-site ROW and Traffic Signal improvements.
