Alton Town Center
Belgard® Holland and Moduline Series® Pavers Help Create “Sense of Place” and Safety
Every Project Starts with a Purpose
Alton Town Center, a retail and entertainment destination in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, is a 350,000 square feet mixed-use retail project. It complements an adjacent housing development by providing residents with a variety of stores, restaurants and other amenities within walking or biking distance from home.
Located within a high-traffic area, the challenge was to create a design that was pedestrian-friendly and that visually connected many destinations within the center. Additionally, the roadways represented the largest paved section within Alton Town Center, with approximately 150,000 square feet of pavers. It was important that these pavers be installed quickly because of the aggressive project schedule.
The Solution
Solving for Style, Function, and Durability
Designers specified interlocking concrete pavers for the sidewalks and roadways of Alton Town Center, selecting Belgard’s Holland Stone and Moduline Series® pavers throughout. Traffic markings such as stop bars, divider lines, turn arrows and crosswalks were created using different colored pavers rather than paint. Accent colors like White, Yellow and Cream ensured the markings would not fade or peel over time, preserving the design’s long-term appearance.
The use of pavers also delivered significant cost and schedule savings. Holland Stone pavers were machine installed three to four times faster than typical hand installation, allowing the roads to be completed in roughly two months, with most finished before stores opened. In addition, a 12-inch-wide band of cream-colored pavers was used to mimic curbs and highlight crosswalks, eliminating the need for poured header curbs and saving close to $250,000 on the project.
