A central Paris store for the National Basketball Association

At 450m2, the space needed to house an extensive range of official NBA and WNBA merchandise and memorabilia, as well as a customization area where fans can personalize NBA jerseys and hats for all 30 NBA teams.

Around two months were spent on design development – which formed a crucial part of the successful delivery. By understanding the client’s needs – alongside those of trades, subcontractors, and the demands of the supply chain.

Having worked with Lids on the opening of the NBA London store just a few months earlier, Agilité understood the needs – and nuances - of those involved in the delivery. A weekly ‘all-hands’ meeting was key to ensuring the project continued apace, with Procore’s construction management platform ‘plugged in’ to keep all stakeholders updated on the progress.

Despite the programme being cut a week short, the project was delivered on time. Collaboration with Gensler worked well – particularly where there were procurement challenges – as well as other delivery partners, including local architect Reid Brewin.
