IKEA Hires Deacon Corp as General Contractor for New Renton Store
IKEA announced today that they have finally hired contractors for constructing a new, updated store in Renton. The new Ikea store will be built to replace its current store as the Swedish retailer’s Seattle-area presence. The new IKEA store will be built in part of the current parking area, with the older store ultimately being demolished to allow for more parking. Until the new, updated store opens in Spring 2017, customers can continue to shop at the existing Renton store.
IKEA has chosen Deacon Corp. to serve as Construction Manager and General Contractor both for site work and store development. An industry leader throughout the Western U.S., Deacon specializes in construction of retail, multifamily housing, mixed-use buildings, hotels, restaurants and entertainment facilities, as well as healthcare and office buildings. Other firms involved with this IKEA project include: Barghausen, civil engineer; TENW, traffic consultants; and Atlanta-based GreenbergFarrow as the project architect.
