Coal Creek Commerce Center St. Clair, PA
25,000sf Retail Center. Each space was designed with individual character as in a small mining town. Blends old with new – emphasizing the evolution and history of the surrounding architecture. In lieu of the standard retail clock tower is the loft hoist – utilizing original heavy timber from the very coal mining structures that dot the mountains. The board and batten gabled structure emulates the old coal breakers and is not just a retail accent but a cultural and historical connection.![](http://fmaarch.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/coal-6.jpg)
