PROPERTY AND PROJECT CONTEXT
Pentagon City
Pentagon City is built around the Fashion Centre, a regional retail destination, surrounded by high-rise residential towers and hotels just south of Crystal City.
Its concentration of retail and hospitality shapes commercial project scope here somewhat differently than Crystal City's office-heavy mix.

WHY MOLE
Design and construction move through one coordinated process, from initial scope through the final walkthrough.
Residential and commercial capability sits within the same company, so property type doesn't limit which services are available.
Project scope is defined and reviewed before work begins, so decisions aren't made after construction is already underway.
Remodeling and roofing can be coordinated under one contractor when a project's scope calls for both.
The same process applies across Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C. and Maryland, regardless of jurisdiction.
