SPIRE Denver Pool Amenity Level

The Urban Land Institute‘s Colorado members celebrated their 2009 Holiday Party last evening within the glass walls of  SPIRE.   For those not familiar with the Urban Land Institute (commonly referred to as ULI) the Urban Land Institute is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit research and education organization with the mission to provide leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide.  Founded in 1936, the Urban Land Institute now has members in 95 countries all sharing the focus of how to plan, build and design better places.  We like that focus.

It’s always an honor to welcome the Urban Land Institute and its members into SPIRE.  The Urban Land Institute has a focus on responsible development and offers a number of research and education tracks specifically focused on Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design  (LEED) and Green Building practices.  All of us at SPIRE consider sustainable development of critical importance and that is why SPIRE pursued LEED and USGBC Green Building standards in both the construction and operating design decisions.  SPIRE is a USGBC registered project and the roughly 6 months after completion of the building the USGBC should determine which award level the project will receive.   These factors include everything from the pre purchase of wind energy credits for building operations to the design of both trash and recycling chutes on every floor.  That’s right, no more carrying the recycling down to the garage level which is also a sincere effort to make recycling as convenient and easy to do as possible.

We already have our holiday green at SPIRE.  Feel free to drop by our SPIRE experience center at 890 14th street for a tour of the building and all our green building features or give us a ring at 720-457-7550 to speak with a SPIRE sales executive.

Happy Holidays again to the Urban Land Institute and to you!
