Boulder 29

Saunders completed the adaptive reuse of a vacant department store on Boulder's 29th Street Mall into a Class A office space.

The Boulder 29 project converted the roughly 160,000-square-foot, three-story department store into a Class A creative office building. The project includes recycling and repurposing the outdated core and shell of the building into a state-of-the-art building with 154,000 square feet of creative office space and 9,000 square feet of affordable retail space.

The project is targeting LEED Gold certification with a 450-KVA solar array on the roof. Once completed, Boulder 29 became one of the last large blocks of contiguous space available in the city.

With no original blueprints, the project benefited from the use of cutting-edge technology solutions performed by Saunders’ in-house Integrated Technologies Group (ITG).

This project received LEED Gold Certification in 2024.
