LAKEWOOD, CO-Gambro, a global medical technology company, will lease 75,000 sf in the five-story, 183,000-sf Signature Centre office building that Aardex Corp. recently began developing. Located at 14143 Denver West Pkwy. in the Denver West office park, the building will be one of the most energy efficient office buildings in the Denver area.
"The Signature Centre reflects our commitment to our employees and their well being," says Kathy Fisher, Gambro's Lakewood facilities manager. "The new building will have many 'green-designed' features that are proven to increase employee performance and job satisfaction."
Gambro is an international company employing 11,000 people in more than 40 countries. The company provides products and services in renal care and blood-component technology.
The Signature Centre was designed by architect Binh Vinh, Aardex principal and vice president of design. The $45-million office building will include: under-floor air throughout the structure; individual temperature and lighting controls; energy efficiencies that will reduce utility costs by as much as 50%; sunshade and plentiful daylight; and use of non-toxic materials whenever possible.
"The Signature Centre will be LEED gold certified, but that's just really the tip of the iceberg," says Ben Weeks, executive principal-in-charge of the project. "We call it the workplace evolution. If you design space around the worker and the specific business needs, productivity goes sky-high."
Other features include a one-acre park located at the gateway of the property and three levels of underground parking. Office space is available from 5,000 sf to full floors of nearly 43,000 sf. Aardex will also relocate its headquarters into the Signature Centre.
"To have a commitment of this magnitude from a company like Gambro, and to have it this soon following our groundbreaking, is a significant indicator of our improving market conditions and the desire of leading companies to be in quality real estate," says Randy Swearingen, Aardex director of office development.
