GreenSpot Real Estate

"Built in 1902, the building housed Rocky Mountain Seed Company until March 2011, when the third-generation business closed. The owners used the first-floor hooks for moving bananas to cool storage."

"How many architects did it take to win this municipal building contract? Thirty, though only one ended up leading the pack. This classical building is often bathed in an LED light rainbow of color."

"If wedding cakes sported lights, they'd look like the Gas and Electric Building, built in 1910. White terra cotta, green marble and 13,000 lights (that's right) served as a billboard for the utility."

"GreenSpot Real Estate is housed in the GOOD Building, a building with solar PV providing 70 percent electricity offset. A mecca for green businesses, GOOD is also home to Namaste Solar, LEED (CS)."

"SLATERPAULL Architects turned an old 1922 fire station into their uber-cool, red brick LoDo office. The space has energy-efficient "chilled beam" technology, which cools AND heats, LEED (NC, platinum)"

"The museum isn't a screamer. Architect David Adjaye lets the art do that. The "double-skin" facade with tinted glass re-circulates building air and looks like black milk at night, LEED (NC, gold)."
