Launch or expand your retail center with a pre‑engineered steel building designed for speed, durability, and flexible tenant layouts. Maverick Steel Buildings supplies premium, 100% American‑made metal building kits (often called PFSB) that are engineered to meet local wind and snow loads and tailored to your brand and leasing strategy. Whether you’re planning a small neighborhood center or a multi‑tenant strip with restaurant bays and drive‑thrus, our red‑iron steel buildings give you a long‑lasting, cost‑effective commercial shell that’s ready to fit‑out.
Create the plan your tenants need—without structural surprises. Our clear‑span design minimizes interior columns so you can configure small‑bay inline retail, corner restaurant spaces, or larger anchor suites with wide storefronts.
Modular bay spacing and framed openings make it simple to add rear service doors, grease‑rated restaurant penetrations, and RTU support where your MEP requires.
Popular strip‑mall footprints like 60×100 (6,000 square feet) and 80×200 (16,000 square feet) are common starting points, and your building can scale well beyond these sizes as your site plan evolves.
Pre‑engineered (PEMB) steel reduces waste and can speed site‑to‑shell timelines compared to many conventional methods. The components arrive as a coordinated metal building kit, helping general contractors sequence foundations, erection, and façade trades with fewer unknowns.
Over the life of the center, steel’s resistance to pests, rot, and moisture helps lower maintenance versus combustible framed alternatives—while the rigid frame is designed to support future re‑tenants and rebrands without costly structural changes.
Steel is the structure, your brand is the finish. Our building packages accept a wide range of exterior treatments, including brick, stone, EIFS, architectural metal panels, and glass storefront systems.
Need parapets, canopies, or tower elements for national‑brand visibility? We’ll coordinate framed openings and loads so your architect can deliver the street presence your merchandising plan requires. Inside, column‑free spans and standardized grids simplify tenant improvement drawings and shorten the path to opening day.
Every metal building is engineered for the jurisdiction where it will be erected, including wind and snow loads and applicable code requirements.
Red‑iron frames and quality cladding provide a durable, non‑combustible shell, and optional insulation packages can improve comfort and energy performance for restaurants and climate‑controlled tenants.
From seismic considerations to local design pressures, our team guides you through the choices that keep your retail project compliant and buildable.
Steel strip mall buildings give you a strong mix of value, speed, and flexibility compared to wood framing or CMU and tilt-up construction. Steel is non-combustible and resists termites and moisture, which can lower long-term maintenance and help protect your investment. Clear-span frames allow wider, column-free bays that are easier to lease and re-tenant over time.
Compared to CMU or tilt-up, pre-engineered steel building kits can reduce site time and material waste and make façade changes easier when you rebrand. Adding bays or extending end walls for future expansion is also more straightforward with steel.
Inline retail spaces often range from about 1,200 to 3,000 square feet per tenant, but the right mix depends on your merchandising plan, parking ratios, and anchor strategy. With a clear-span steel building, you are not locked into one layout.
Demising walls can move as tenants grow, combine spaces, or change use without re-engineering the main frame. Maverick helps you match bay sizes, storefront rhythm, and service access to your site plan so the center is easier to lease and manage.
Strip mall centers often include restaurant or medical tenants that place heavier demands on the building. Our designs can account for rooftop unit loads, curb openings, grease duct penetrations, and other mechanical needs tied to kitchens and specialty uses.
During design, your MEP engineer can finalize equipment locations while we coordinate framed openings, structure, and loads in the steel package. This approach helps you support a mix of retail, restaurant, and service tenants in one center. It also makes it easier to adapt the building as your tenant roster changes over time.
Clear height affects your façade, signage, and the comfort of tenants and customers. Many owners choose eave heights that allow parapets, signage bands, and efficient HVAC and lighting zones inside. Maverick sizes the frame to the look you want while meeting or exceeding local wind, snow, and seismic requirements.
We confirm design loads and special provisions for the jurisdiction where your center will be built. Our team provides installation and coordination services across much of the Southeast and ships building kits nationwide so your general contractor can erect the structure efficiently.
A typical strip mall steel building kit from Maverick includes primary and secondary steel framing, wall and roof panels, framed openings, fasteners, and detailed erection drawings, plus foundation drawings to align your site work and permitting.
You get a coordinated package designed to work as a system, not a pile of parts to figure out in the field. When you are ready to move forward, share your site plan, square footage, clear height, and façade goals.
