J. Crew's Troy, Michigan Permits

J. Crew, a renowned fashion retailer, sought to grow its presence in Troy, Michigan, with a sprawling 5,920-square-foot retail space requiring a Michigan permit.

As part of a multi-site rollout, J. Crew relied on Permit Place to help navigate the complex permit landscape and streamline the permit approval process.

Challenge

Fortunately, we had already completed an in-depth due diligence report. This report enabled us to catch upfront the crucial factors that could influence the project timeline.

By the time we got the plans, we already knew:

• Essential stakeholders involved in the project.
• Standards for plan layout and name designation.
• Necessary unique seals.
• Guidelines for submissions and form-related specifics.
• Stipulations concerning racking.
• Departments involved and their specific submission guidelines.
• Standards set by the AHJ.
• Prerequisites for contractor issuance.
• Among other considerations.

Project Win

With the due diligence information at our disposal, we rigorously reviewed the permit application for adherence to Troy’s standards, correcting any issues before submission.

With a projected turnaround time of two weeks, the Permit Place team managed to astound even the most optimistic stakeholders by securing Michigan permit 1st-round approval in just 2 business days.

This not only expedited J. Crew’s construction timeline but also demonstrated the efficiency and effectiveness of Permit Place’s approach.
