SAN DIEGO—Incoming tenants at the former Gold Star Sausage Co. factory site in Denver are being offered a generous allowance in improvements and finishes, thanks to owner San Diego-based Pathfinder Partners. As we previously reported, Pathfinder acquired the property, 2800 Walnut in Downtown Denver's RiNo (River North) district, in 2015 and adapted the 65-year-old, 47,000-square-foot structure for its new use as a creative-office and retail space, putting it through an extensive $7.4-million renovation. The firm is now allowing its tenants to have the last word as to how the interior spaces will look.

We sat down with Pathfinder senior associate Christopher Gibson to discuss the project and how tenant-improvement allowances work in this type of arrangement.
