MiGre Engineers, LLC

If you ever get hungry as you see a Commercial involving food, try designing a Restaurant. We are currently submitting Permit Drawings for a pair of Paris Baguettes –“Your Neighorhood Bakery Cafes”. In our long history, we have been privileged to design countless Restaurants, Bars, Cooking Academies, and Bakeries. Whether fine dining (that seemed to be the trend a number of years back as we handled multiple Capital Grilles), fast food, or casual dining, every Owner, and those that designed and constructed it, are eager for Opening Day. In the last several years, listed below are some Projects we were fortunate to be a part of in Kentucky, Georgia, Ohio, Florida, and Michigan that either are built, or a Permit Set was submitted and waiting on the next steps:

• Young Chef’s Academy
• Asian Chao
• 1818 Brewery
• La Granja Restaurant
• Flippers Pizza
• Kyoto 6
• Ben and Jerry’s
• Currito Burrito
• Cake Cottage Shop
• JJ Fresh from Scratch
• Twin Peaks
• Daily Jam
• Red Robin
• Frisky Lemur Gastropub
• Paris Baguette
• Black Rooster Taqueria
• Maki of Japan
• Steak on Fire
• Valhalla Bakery

We made pretty good decisions at our Organization over the many years, but one of our very best was asking Phung Trinh, Mechanical PE, and Trey Johnson, Electrical FE, to join our Ownership Team starting in January. Even more fortunate, was that they agreed. Both Gentlemen bring years of expertise, excellent work ethic, and distinct leadership traits to our Team. Both Trey and Phung handle Project Management roles along with Design, are integral to our current success, and for the progression of MiGre Engineers on our path forward.

Storage Units? Sure -we design them, and they are going up all around for good reasons! Many Owners can use 2.5 to 5 acres to accommodate a facility using the rule that land costs should make up about 25-30% of the entire budget, with more cost-effective facilities 50,000 sf and larger with development costs geared toward $8 per square foot or less. Lease up times with quality marketing could take 3 years to reach goals of 85 percent occupancy with a Profit Margin of 40%. Sometimes climate controlled, sometimes not, with many Storage Units at a mix of 25-30% temperature controlled. Additional offers of Boat, RV, and Trailer Storage in these secure locations are often appreciated.

Soon to Open, our 3-Story, 102,000 sf Storage Unit in Lake County, FL is ready. Fully gated and walled with 30 motion cameras and night lights on 24/7, offering 6 sizes of Units from 5x5 to 15x20, with night lights on 24/7.

The Palm of Vistera is one of two luxury multifamily communities slated to account for the 665 Unit $251 Million Development.
