The Costco at Harbor Hill in Gig Harbor is on 17.5 acres of a 320-acre development, master planned by the Olympic Property Group. The 152,000-square-foot warehouse is the anchor of a 23.5-acre “village” that also includes five specialty retail buildings. The warehouse, along with the surrounding retail buildings, needed to be designed and constructed as a unified architectural expression, as required by the city. A design palette was created that integrated concrete masonry, steel, glass and sloping metal roof forms to establish the look for the retail village. Five earth-tone masonry colors, in both split-face and smooth-face finish, were blended into the Costco warehouse and village design. More than 115,000 masonry units are woven into the project.
