LOCAL MARKET

Tenant improvement electrical across metro Denver

Denver’s commercial market mixes historic buildings in LoDo and RiNo with modern towers downtown and suburban campuses in the Tech Center. Converted historic buildings often need significant electrical upgrades to support modern tenants.

Cannabis cultivation and processing facilities are a distinct part of the market. Grow lighting, dehumidification and HVAC create continuous heavy loads that often require service upgrades and careful distribution design.

The metro includes the City and County of Denver and many surrounding cities, each with its own building department.

High-bay lighting, 480V equipment feeds and disconnects, dock and charging-station power, and the office core built out inside the warehouse shell.

LOCAL PLANNING

What we plan around in Denver

The local factors that decide whether a build-out here opens on the date it was promised.
01

Assess historic buildings early

Older LoDo and RiNo buildings may need new services or panels. We assess them before pricing.
02

Size cultivation loads correctly

Grow lighting and environmental equipment run continuously. Distribution and service are sized for that duty.
03

Plan for winter

Cold weather affects exterior work and deliveries, and we plan the schedule accordingly.
04

Start utility work early

Service upgrades through Xcel Energy are started as soon as the load is known.
PERMITS AND CODE

Permits, code and utilities in Denver

Colorado adopts the National Electrical Code statewide, and it is enforced by local building departments or the state where no local program exists. The City and County of Denver runs its own permitting, as do Aurora, Lakewood and the other metro cities.

Xcel Energy serves most of the metro. Service upgrades — common for cannabis and heavy industrial tenants — go through the utility, and we begin that process early.

Lighting alterations are subject to the jurisdiction’s adopted energy code. We confirm the control requirements before pricing.
