Retail Experience

We design mixed-use local and regional retail shopping centers, build-to-suit retail centers, and renovation designs that reposition and reinvigorate existing retail spaces. Our trained expert team can determine the square footage capability of a retail property in a matter of minutes. We have designed over 1 million square feet of Denver retail space working alongside developers such as Landon Enterprises, The Paul’s Corporation, and Weingarten Realty. Our lasting communities have received the Governor’s Award for Downtown Excellence and Hard Hat Awards. We are most well-known for designing the retro-deco Colfax Central, Arvada Grandview Plaza and Reno Place, Centennial Promenade, Aurora’s Town Center at Gateway Park, Parker’s Twenty Mile Mercantile, and The Orchards at Greenwood Village.

OUR STRATEGY

Our strategy is to develop significant retail visual identities that are immediately recognizable and attractive to the consumer, maximize the square footage of each property adhering to and expediting municipality requirements, provide flexibility in tenant sizing, and quickly deliver core and shell turning the space over to tenants more rapidly.
