Throwback Thursday to one of our early retail projects — the Lowe’s in Southwest Roanoke.
Built in the late 1990s, this project was part of a multi-store rollout across the region, delivering high-quality retail spaces on accelerated schedules. Branch also built stores in Martinsville and Danville, Virginia, and Summersville, West Virginia.
From site development to final build-out, projects like this helped lay the foundation for the work we continue today — building spaces that serve our communities for years to come. ...
