Green building takes over 1821 Blake St!

USGBC Colorado is very excited at the news that our good friends at YRG Sustainability Consultants will be moving in across the hall from us here at 1821 Blake Street. This means that as much as a third of the square footage in the building will be leased by sympathetic companies - USGBC Colorado and YRG on the third floor, and Shears Adkins on the ground floor.

YRG and USGBC Colorado are intimately intertwined - YRG staff have served on our Board of Directors here in Colorado (and at the national level), volunteered on numerous committees, and are of course contributing LEED consulting services to this project.

In addition, many of our long-term plans will require the buy-in and cooperation of the building's owners - whether it involves upgrading the central plant, changing how operating costs are allocated to tenants, or adding renewable energy to the roof.

So, come on down to 18th and Blake - it's going to be the new hot spot for historic green retrofits in downtown Denver!
