Pinkard Construction has completed the 1899 Wynkoop Amenity Remodel project in lower downtown Denver (LoDo). The $5.4 million Class A lobby renovation took place within a fully occupied LEED Gold certified nine-story office building, serving more than 400 office occupants and visitors daily.
The renovation included the build-out of a tenant lounge, coffee bar, fitness center with five new restrooms (three with showers), office and conference space, bike storage and an exterior canopy. High-end finishes featured large format tile from Italy, millwork, interior glass wall systems, storefront and a custom hybrid curtainwall storefront system.
Extensive expansion of existing MEP systems was necessary, with tie-ins occurring in a fully occupied first-floor lobby above a functioning below-grade parking garage. Lakewood-based Pinkard accessed the MEP systems from the parking garage below, performing most of the in-slab plumbing installations from the ceiling. Disruptive saw cutting and core drilling activities were conducted off-hours.
Design-assist subcontracting was key to the successful procurement, fabrication and installation of the two-story full-glass curtainwall system, a centerpiece of the new lobby area. The project, located next to Union Station and Coors Field, finished ahead of schedule and on budget.
