About the Project

With the increasing popularity of retail and office space in downtown Boulder, Colorado, parking used to be increasingly difficult to supply. In addition, property owners living there were frustrated by downtown visitors who use neighborhood streets for parking.In 1997, the Boulder Central Area General Improvement District voted to finance a new parking structure at 15th and Pearl Streets, at the end of the popular Pearl Street Mall. Facing the challenge of building a structure in close proximity to the historic storefronts along Pearl Street, the design team created a garage facility that was integrated with the retail and office facades facing public streets.

The $11.2 million, 260,000 s.f. mixed-use facility features 7,500 s.f. of retail on the first floor and 7,500 s.f. of City office space on the second floor with a post-tensioned concrete garage that holds approximately 700 cars on eight levels, two below grade. In addition, the structure incorporates highly detailed brick work, a garage featuring open stair towers and a glass-enclosed elevator, fitting contextually and welcoming downtown visitors with convenient parking.

This project was completed in association with Denver-based firm Shears & Leese Architects, now Shears-Adkins Architects.
