PEI has completed 20+ new buildings and 50+ renovations of existing spaces for Planet Fitness. New spaces are typically about 30,000 square feet in two stories. Construction is typically steel framed with CFS stud walls or load bearing masonry with steel roof and floor. Tall parapets with cantilevered cornices and the curved signage face create signature accents.

PEI worked on several buildings at this site including restaurants and retail spaces.

This 18-acre mixed-use project on the Ohio River is nestled between the Great American Ball Park and Paul Brown Stadium. The final project will include nearly three million square feet of residential units, street-level retail, restaurants, offices, and hotel rooms. PEI partnered with another local engineering firm on the structural work for Phase 1A of this signature project. Phase 1A, shown in a beige color in the partial map at the right, opened in 2011 and includes 300 luxury apartments, 80,000 square feet of in-line retail and restaurants, and over 3,300 parking spaces (primarily underground). PEI provided construction documents for the retail construction at the southwest corner of Lot 26 and construction observation for the elevated cast-in-place concrete construction at Lot 26 and Lot 16.

New 27,500 square foot two story building. The complex roof layout for this project required the use of wood laminated timber trusses at the main aisle ways, curved steel channels at the entry elements, and typical steel joist and beam framing elsewhere. To meet the client’s need to store parts and motorcycles on the second floor, composite steel beams and slabs where used with the remaining second floor area framed with bar joist and beam construction for economy. Lateral stability for the building was obtained by use of masonry shear walls and steel rigid frames which had wood applied to create a timber frame look.
