Lidl US East Coast Program

NORR is an Architect of Record (AOR) providing integrated architecture, structural, mechanical and electrical engineering services for all phases of work including permit management, construction administration and documentation for both ground up stores (24,000 square-feet to 30,000 square-feet) and retrofits at existing street level retail second generation spaces. There is familiarity with the inviting appearance of Lidl that features a strong presence of wood-like phenolic panels, stone base and oversized windows for natural daylighting. The floor plans are efficient with a rectangular layout that deliver maximum value per square foot. Every store greets consumers with a bakery at the front to engage their senses for a memorable shopping experience.  Back-of-house facilities such as office space and a wellness room help to support employee well-being.  We are managing two initial grocery store designs in Morristown, NJ and Deer Park, NY, with further locations to come within the Program in multiple regions. The Deer Park, NY store will become the largest Lidl store to be constructed to date in the region and will feature all-natural, CO2 refrigeration and fast EV-charging stations for electric vehicles.

For Lidl, quality of design and construction is as important as the quality of their products. Continuous enhancements to the store prototype are critical to achieving faster time-to-market of community-based grocery stores that offer value at affordable prices.
