FPRA hears final designs for Sunrise Event Center as members press for garage repairs and cost detail
Summary
Architects presented 100% construction documents for the 9,000‑sq‑ft Sunrise Event Center; board members praised the design but pressed staff about $288/sq‑ft build estimates and outstanding structural and roof repairs to the underlying parking garage before committing to full build‑out.
Architects and city staff on April 14 presented final construction documents for the Sunrise Event Center, a proposed 9,000‑square‑foot event venue on the fourth floor of the Sunrise Center parking garage, and commissioners said they supported the design while pressing for clarity on costs and structural safety.
The presentation, led by a city staff member and Daniel Diaz of Architects Design Collaborative, showed a flexible banquet hall (layouts for 200–240 guests), four meeting rooms, a warming kitchen, a bridal room and an extended corridor with a custom wall wrap celebrating Fort Pierce history. The architectural team said the package includes acoustical curtains and baffles, furnishing selections for lobbies and conference areas, and allowances for the wall‑wrap installation; they described the documents as 100% construction documents ready to be issued for bidding.
