About The Project
Ghost kitchens are facilities where individual restauranteurs and caterers can rent kitchen space to prepare their products for online orders and food delivery services, without the need for a full brick-and-mortar restaurant. These kitchens are designed solely for food production and delivery, with no on-site dining area or customer seating, focusing exclusively on takeout and delivery services.
The Aurora Eatery Kitchen Ghost Kitchen project in the Town Center at Aurora spans 8,789 square feet and houses 21 independent kitchens, along with a large walk-in cooler, walk-in freezer, dry food storage, restrooms, and common areas. One particularly challenging aspect of this project was the need to vent all 21 hoods horizontally across the space and out the side of the building. This required extensive MEP coordination to optimize the use of the above-ceiling space for all trades, ensuring a smooth and efficient layout for the complex system of ducts and utilities.
