Raising Cane’s recently opened its first Santa Monica location at 1401 3rd Street Promenade, near Santa Monica Boulevard. The highly visible new restaurant brings the popular chicken-finger concept to one of Southern California’s best-known pedestrian shopping and entertainment districts.   The project is part of renewed restaurant and retail activity along the Third Street Promenade, where new dining options are helping activate storefronts and bring additional foot traffic to downtown Santa Monica.   PM Design, Inc. served as the architect for the project. Wright Engineers is proud to have provided structural engineering services for this new Raising Cane’s location.

As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, we have a meaningful opportunity to pause and reflect on the remarkable foundation laid by the nation’s founders. Their vision was not merely to create a new government, but to establish a nation built on enduring principles—including the unalienable rights to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Those freedoms, set forth in the Declaration of Independence and protected through the Constitution, helped make possible the extraordinary prosperity and opportunity we enjoy today. Across generations, Americans have used that liberty to start businesses, build communities, invent new technologies, educate families, improve cities, and contribute to a nation that continues to grow and renew itself. The success we enjoy today did not happen by accident. It was made possible by a system that protects initiative, rewards effort, encourages innovation, and allows ordinary people to do extraordinary things. At Wright Engineers, we are especially grateful for the opportunity to participate in that ongoing American story—designing buildings, supporting communities, helping clients bring ideas to life, and working alongside talented people who are building the future. As we celebrate 250 years of America, we honor the freedoms we inherited, the responsibilities that come with them, and the opportunity each of us has to contribute in our own way to the continued promise of this great nation.

We are excited to tee it up at the NAIOP SoCal OC Golf Tournament on June 29 at Coto de Caza! We are proud to play and sponsor this great event, and we are looking forward to a day on the course connecting with clients, colleagues, and industry partners. See you on the green! ⛳
