ESa’s design for the Gulch Crossing office building, which attained LEED Gold Certification, includes eight stories of Class A office space, totaling over 200,000 rentable square feet. The highly efficient building core and virtually column-free space offers a maximum of rentable-space per floor and floor-to-ceiling glass that provides unobstructed views of downtown. The facility also includes a 750-space, six-level structured parking garage located above and below grade, and over 16,000 square feet of ground floor retail space.

The site sits between a popular restaurant, retail, and entertainment district and a rail yard that was once the place where visitors first arrived to the city, standing where the rail lines shift direction to reconcile with the city grid. The two-story lobby, serving as the primary entrance and featuring 20’ structural glazing, represents this shift and celebrates the location’s history with a contemporary boxcar interpretation. The rail line expression is reinforced with a linear infinity edge fountain running the length of the 100’ weathered steel and wood “boxcar” frame that extends beyond the building to create a sheltered outdoor plaza.

Any time a project starts with AIA Contract Documents for both the Owner/Architect and Owner/Contractor agreements, it is typically a much easier negotiation process since the team is communicating from the same playbook.
