Scope Of Work
Breslin Builders provided design and construction services for the new Downtown Container Park at 7th and Fremont in downtown Las Vegas. Almost two years in the making, this project was the inspiration of Tony Hsieh to help rejuvenate part of the downtown area and provide a much needed place for retail, food and beverage, and entertainment along East Fremont. Breslin Builders has been involved from the beginning of the project, including the initial assessments of the old Orbit Inn property, which we eventually demolished for Downtown Project in preparation for this world class project.
Utilizing a combination of 39 repurposed shipping containers and locally manufactured Xtreme Cubes, the project has a unique setting in this half city block along 7th Street between Fremont Street and Carson Avenue. The mixture of containers, X Cubes, Trex decking, pavers, railroad cars, a 44 foot diameter immersion dome, as well as the custom made Cre8Play tree house, make the Downtown Container Park like no other in the world. In fact, the project boosts from firsts including the use of a 40 foot shipping container for an elevator shaft and the first commercial play area (the Interactive Exhibit Zone) to use shipping containers as part of the play structures.
Designed with a mixture of retail spaces (mostly located in the Xtreme Cubes), five food and beverage locations (located within the shipping container product), a barber shop (in the train uses), and support facilities for the property, the project has a little something for everyone.
