Our Portfolio

Project Description

The Espadin (previously Lighthouse Lofts) project is a cutting-edge, mixed-use development in the Lower Highlands (LoHi) neighborhood of downtown Denver.

This project consisted of a five-story, above-ground, wood-framed structure built over a concrete podium. Additionally, the scope included two levels of below-grade parking. This building incorporates extensive sustainability measures (including solar panels on the roof) all assisting in the project’s LEED Platinum certification. Platinum is the highest of four levels of green building certification from Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, a green building rating program. The overall five-floor building program included enclosed parking, retail/commercial space, 46 condo units, amenity spaces and a variety of unique architectural features.

Strategy

Symmetry Builders, Inc. has a variety of team members located in this area as well as a long list of projects in Denver. We harnessed this experience to develop a ‘curb to curb’ construction plan that minimizes impacts to any neighbors as well as any right of way permits. The construction was unique due to the structural shotcrete foundation walls being built below grade and having zero lot lines on all sides of the project. Site logistics was the key to completing this build. With zero lot lines and no room for storage, all materials had to be brought in for install. This made on-time delivery for install a requirement.
