Project Summary

Pine Tree owns and operates open-air shopping centers, including properties in some of the hardest markets in the country to service. These are grocery-anchored centers that a whole community drives through every week, and they sit in remote places where crews and materials are scarce and getting pavement work done on a deadline is genuinely hard. When the pavement needs work, Pine Tree needs a partner who will actually show up.

Diamond Solutions is that partner. Across North Dakota, Diamond has completed pavement work at two Pine Tree centers, Watford Plaza in Watford City and Southgate Crossing in Minot, from crack sealing and full restripes to full-depth asphalt repair. Both were delivered on tight timelines, staged around open stores, and held to one standard even in markets where local crews and materials are scarce and expensive.

The value is the same at every property: one partner who will take on the hard-to-reach sites, size the work to what the lot actually needs, price it straight, and keep the center open while the work gets done. That is what turns a single hard-to-fill job into a relationship, and Pine Tree has since invited Diamond to bid additional properties.

PORTFOLIO AT A GLANCE
  • Watford City, ND (featured): a busy grocery-anchored center in the far northwest corner of the state, out in the oil patch and hours from the nearest metro. A full-lot refresh on a one-week rush.
  • Minot, ND: a retail center completed in the same stretch of work, with crack sealing, restriping, and repairs to the same standard.
PICTURED PROJECT: Watford City, ND‍

Watford City sits out in the North Dakota oil patch, hours from any major metro. It is a genuinely hard place to get pavement work done: crews and materials are scarce that far out. When Pine Tree needed the lot at Watford Plaza brought back into shape fast, on an ASAP timeline, sourcing the job was a project in itself, and the local pricing Diamond turned up while lining up crews ran high and inconsistent. Diamond took it on anyway, sourced crews into the market, held the price to Pine Tree honest, and compressed a two-week schedule into about one. Across the lot, Diamond crack-sealed 9,453 linear feet, re-striped the entire property with fresh parking stalls, cross-hatches, and ADA stencils, and removed and replaced a failed section of asphalt down to a full four-inch depth, running the crack sealing and striping overnight so the plaza stayed open the whole time.

Delivering Across the Portfolio

PHASE 1: SHOW UP FAST, IN MARKETS THAT ARE HARD TO SERVE

Pine Tree's toughest properties sit in remote markets where crews and materials are scarce and pricing runs wild. Diamond lines up the resources, locks a fair price, and gets a plan in hand fast, often on a rush timeline, in places that are genuinely hard to staff and supply.

PHASE 2: RIGHT-SIZED SCOPE

Each center gets the work it actually needs. Full-depth repair where the asphalt has failed, crack sealing to keep water out of the base before small cracks become big ones, and a full restripe to bring the whole lot back to a clean, current standard. Sized to the property, priced for it.

PHASE 3: KEEP THE CENTER OPEN

A grocery-anchored center can't close its lot. Diamond stages the work overnight and around tenant and shopper traffic, coordinates on vehicles and access, and sequences the job so stores keep selling the entire time.

PHASE 4: ONE STANDARD, EVERY PROPERTY

rom Watford City to Minot, every Pine Tree center gets the same standard of work and the same accountability, backed by a Diamond warranty. That consistency is what lets an owner hand their pavement to one partner and stop worrying about even the hardest-to-reach properties.

STANDOUT PROJECTS

Watford City, ND (pictured)

A full-lot refresh on a one-week rush: 9,453 linear feet of crack sealing, a complete restripe with ADA stencils, and full-depth asphalt repair, run overnight so the grocery-anchored center never closed. A genuinely hard job to staff and supply in a remote market, delivered on time.

Minot, ND

A second Pine Tree center, serviced in the same regional push. Crack sealing, restriping, and repairs delivered to the same standard, and the kind of back-to-back execution that turns a first job into a program.

One Partner, Every Facility

Across two North Dakota shopping centers, Diamond Solutions has become the pavement partner behind Pine Tree's hardest-to-service properties, from a one-week rush at Watford Plaza to a second center in Minot. Every property gets the same assessment, the same right-sized scope, and the same commitment to keeping the center open while the work gets done.

For an owner with centers in remote, hard-to-serve markets, that's one fewer thing to worry about. One call, one standard, one partner who shows up, moves fast, prices it straight, and gets it right.
