Building permit issued today to covert warehouse to office.

This building was sold last December to an LLC backed by local attorney Bryan Stanton. It's just west of the old Holiday Inn.

Will the $2 million in renovations add windows?

[Pete]

This is yet to go through the Downtown Design Review Committee but if it's only interior work, they won't need that approval.

[Spartan]

Doesn't $2 million seem a bit steep, especially without major exterior modifications?

[Pete]

Yes, that's a lot of money.

But is a big building that was previously a warehouse, so lots of work needed to make it into an office building.

I bet we see something before the DDRC soon.

[Spartan]

I was parked in front of this building earlier today and saw them putting up a temporary sign saying they're proud to be neighbors and whatnot...

[Pete]

This is being remodeled by Dunlap Codding law firm.

Preliminary report from Downtown Design Review Committee does not like the proposed cladding around the entrance.

Preliminary report from Downtown Design Review Committee does not like the proposed cladding around the entrance.

Why not? Looks good.

[wschnitt]

I think that is a huge overreach on their part to say that they do not like the cladding. This is a high quality project

[Pete]

Here's what they said about the facade:



"This proposal does not comply with the Development Criteria of the Downtown
Design District zoning ordinance as follows:

a) RE: Exterior Cladding, Case Item 1a

1. Description: Applicant is proposing exterior cladding at the primary
entrance of panels of layered recycled paper and bamboo fiber,
Kliptech’s “EcoClad”.

2. Reference:§7200.1.G.(2)(a) Downtown Design Districts,
Development Criteria, Building Materials
“Building materials, other than glass and transparent areas of
street-facing facades, should be constructed of masonry
materials, glass, steel or architectural metals.”

3. Considerations: Current Design Criteria of the ordinance does not
include this product as a preferred building or exterior cladding
material. Although we applaud the use of recycled and
sustainable materials, the product warranty for this application
carries only a 10 - 15 year warranty. Our concerns are whether
this material will perform as described in this climate. The
Committee is asked to evaluate this product and determine if this
product appears to be comparable to the characteristics reflected
in the preferred current building materials listed within the
ordinance and would therefore be appropriate for this application."

It's good to see that durability is the concern rather than overall design. On a nondescript, non-historic building like this giving better definition to the entrance and making sure it is on the street is a good thing. The awnings and new window openings with windows that evoke old casements (hopefully without using fake internal mullions) are great too, IMO.

[BoulderSooner]

they also recommend approval or deferral ...

[mcca7596]

they also recommend approval or deferral ...

a key point here is they are a cladding company the material that they are proposing for the entrance is theirs ... that is what they do of course they want their product on their building

I thought Pete said it was Dunlap Codding, a law firm?

The Downtown Design Committee's concerns does not address moving the entrance to the street.

shows that i read to fast .. .lol

[Urbanized]

The Downtown Design Committee's concerns does not address moving the entrance to the street.

And yet - unless I am missing something - the defined entry is indeed on the street. Well, it actually FACES east into the parking lot, but the vestibule is on Sheridan and not in the middle of the parking lot somewhere, which is often the case.

[Rover]

Actually, the entrance as proposed looks cheap...like the least thing they could do to add ANY feature to the building. It is very reminiscent of the cheap cladding put on buildings all through the 60s and 70s. With just a LITTLE imagination they could do something cool.

[Spartan]

I think there are quality new features like the new windows being added and the prominent awning. I would have to see some more renderings to make a judgment on the entrance cladding (wood paneling?).

[Pete]

This project is moving along...

From the Dunlap Codding Facebook page:

Our new offices are getting closer to being finished. We are so looking forward to making our outdoor space available to startup, tech, and artistic groups who need a small space and kitchen area to have an event or speaker and are entertaining "open" nights where folks can simply hang out, converse, and come up with great ideas, innovations, art, and music that can change the world.

[Douglas]

Hello - I'm one of the owners of this project and would be happy to share additional information to fill in some of the blanks above. Thanks for being interested. We are really looking forward to moving onto Film Row.

[Douglas]

A couple of updates for folks:

[Pete]

Thanks for the photos Douglas and welcome to the site!

Love this project and look forward to seeing it completed.


Please keep us posted.

[Douglas]

Thanks Pete!

Things are progressing on the exterior and the interior has moved to final finishes. Will be in our new neighborhood in a couple of weeks.

I saw this on Google Earth, are these pictures that project? It's a little out-dated but I wasn't sure what was going on here
