East Village Parking Structure - Opening for Business

Construction has been completed on the 340-stall parking structure located between 9th and 10th Streets on Cherry, which serves the needs of the adjacent building leased to the FAA and other nearby tenants.

The structure, built within a budget of $5.1 million, adds a great amenity to East Village with a design as aesthetically appealing as it is practical and cost-effective. GBA’s economical design reduced the overall pricetag of $15,000 per stall.

“Compared with other recently constructed parking garages in the vicinity for more than $20,000 per stall, we were very happy to deliver this project to our client within their budget,” according to Craig Rogge, AIA, LEED AP, GBA’s project manager.

Design features include cast-in-place, post-tensioned concrete, decorative architectural precast and anodized aluminum perforated panels for screening. The single-threaded helix design contributes greatly to the cost efficiency on the project. Particular attention also has been paid to streetscaping and landscape around the entire perimeter next to the downtown streets.

GBA was selected by GF Properties, a subsidiary of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, to provide architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, and traffic studies.

"Working with the GBA team was a key factor in the success of the East Village Parking Structure. The exterior appearance, efficient design, and cost of the structure exceeded our expectations. It is also nice to work with people who have such a professional attitude. Throughout the design and construction process, I always knew GBA was looking out for our best interests. We hope to work with GBA again in the future." - Linda Kaboth, Vice President - National Division, GF Properties
