Located at 1701 Platte St., One Platte will include large floor plates, a ground-level restaurant, café and retail spaces, an exterior courtyard, plaza, a rooftop amenity terrace and a pet-friendly atmosphere.The project will feature the largest floor plates of any building in downtown Denver and offer views of the Denver skyline with floor-to-ceiling windows. “One Platte will be an urban campus offering scalability, strong corporate identity and unmatched amenities for the 21st century workforce,” said Randy Nichols, president and founder at Nichols Partnership. “With high competition for employees, it’s impor- tant to offer the amenities workers desire. One Platte also is improved by the surrounding downtown neighbor- hood, where Denver’s professionals live, work and play.” • Jordon Perlmutter & Co.’s Paradigm River North also proposes highly ame- nitized offerings to appeal to the tech- nology sector in the River North Arts District. “We wanted to create an envi- ronment that was appealing to the area’s young, educated and ambitious workforce, as well as to their employ- ers looking to attract top talent,” said Sean Perlmutter, head of real estate acquisitions and development at Jor- don Perlmutter & Co. Plans for the new development include a coworking-inspired lobby, a high-end tenant lounge with on-site coffee services, a 12,000-sf restau- rant/retail space and a landscaped outdoor lounge to host after-hours networking. Additionally, the property will offer secure on-site bike storage with private lockers and showers, electric car-charging stations, on-site valet parking and full building access through the use of a smartphone app, replacing the dated and sometimes forgotten keycard. This shift in office preferences has made a lasting impression, challeng- ing owners and developers to focus more than ever on design, the use of common space and building ameni- ties, as they are central factors to the success of an office development. It is easy to see why tech firms are locat- ing to central business districts for more collaborative and highly ame- nitized space that helps them target a desired workforce. The built envi- ronment, both in terms of carefully selected locations and curated space, has become a company’s most power- ful recruitment and retention tool. s Gard Continued from Page 12 ate how employees work, and the response to each ultimately helped inform the design of its Broomfield office. n Perspective. Engage a trusted part- ner to provide fresh perspective on your organization’s inner workings. Working off assumptions is one of the biggest mistakes to make in this industry, which is why engaging a trusted partner can be so valuable.We have a longstanding relationship with the credit union, established on trust built over the course of several proj- ects. This is why they came to us with their vision of this project not only as an upgrade in facilities but also as an opportunity to support a cultural shift. Our team was able to engage and sup- port Elevations in the “how” to make it happen.We highlighted organizational subtleties and processes that would require some degree of change man- agement to function in an open office design. The close partnership helped build consensus for the design at all levels. n Education. Education and inclu- sion are powerful tools to highlight the benefits of change. Every orga- nization is going to have a contin- gent, however small, that will resist change, even past implementation. In the case of Elevations, focusing on this group’s concerns first helped make implementation successful. The company created a “ReLo” com- mittee to provide a resource for departments to voice concerns as well as to share updates and design ideas with the company. The com- mittee was the bridge between our team and the roughly 350 staff members at the Broomfield office. We also shared third-party research on the benefits of open office design and involved all levels in the vision- ing process for the design. As people saw themselves in the project, they felt more connected to its success. Mitigating concerns early, through education and inclusion, made the change feel more manageable. The Elevations Credit Union Broomfield office was successful because we explored all corners of the business in concert with the design. Designing successful spaces requires understanding the way an organization operates, down to the human elements of the work. This understanding supports design that, in turn, helps the organization thrive through the success of its people. s Forrest Continued from Page 14 The Neenan Co.
