The Good Building was completely renovated in 2009 and set a new standard for innovation and sustainability in Denver at the time, achieving LEED-CS designation, the first for an adaptive reuse project in Denver. The developer and current owner hired the award winning, highly creative architecture and design firm tres birds workshop to convert the building into a creative office/flex building. Some of the sustainable features include: • A 19.2 kW photovoltaic system for on-site solar energy production, solar “tubes” to distribute day lighting throughout the building, and an integrated French drain system that utilizes roof runoff to irrigate trees • Reclaimed and recycled material was incorporated into all aspects of building design from the entry foyer glass to the decorative steel façade • Local artists from RiNo design studio Cypher13 installed a mural on the north side of the building spelling out the word “GOOD” in larger-than-life stylized letters When the project was opened in 2009, The Good Building’s grand opening was attended by John Hickenlooper (then mayor), Bill Ritter (the governor), and Senator Michael Bennet to honor and celebrate the building’s ground-breaking and precedent-setting sustainable qualities. With its solar panel roof, larger than life mural and thoughtful exterior design touches, The Good Building was a first mover for sustainable, adaptive re-use development in Denver. Located in the heart of RiNo, The Good Building is a landmark that stands out amongst others, that has and will continue to attract.
