How We Helped Maynard Crossing Save $120K with LED Upgrades
We recently partnered with Avison Young to complete a full exterior LED renovation at Maynard Crossing, a 120,000 SF Harris Teeter–anchored retail center in Cary, NC. The goal? Improve safety, lighting quality, and long-term cost efficiency.
HERE’S WHAT WE DELIVERED
- $120,000+ in 5-Year Energy & Maintenance Savings
- 70% Annual Reduction in Kilowatt Hours
- $12,391 Utility Rebate (Filed by our team)
- 27-Month Simple Payback
The scope included (54) pole-mounted fixtures, (82) under-canopy lights, (29) wallpacks, and (17) bollards—each one contributing to a safer, brighter, more energy-efficient property.
But don’t just take our word for it.
Here’s what Joanna Johnson, Property Manager at Avison Young, had to say:
“My clients recently purchased Maynard Crossing. With that, of course, come renovations and upgrades to improve the center. When starting the process of finding someone to perform an entire LED Renovation for a commercial shopping center, which included parking lot lights, under-canopy lights, and island pole lights, there were many companies to choose from. I came across The John Riley Group, and from the beginning, John was so helpful and precise in answering all my ‘5 million’ questions. He was always two steps ahead of the game. With our project, we encountered many challenges, not due to The John Riley Group, but with those challenges, John proposed fast and inexpensive solutions that were beneficial to our overall budget. The constant communication was a breath of fresh air. It was refreshing to have someone as knowledgeable, honest, and competent as The John Riley Group. I would highly recommend them to anyone who asks, and I look forward to working with them again.
