Rothgerber Johnson & Lyons

Denver, CO

Challenge

Rothgerber Johnson & Lyons, after exploring “stay versus go scenarios” elected to remain in their Class- A downtown Denver high-rise — and pursue a refresh & restack of their existing floors.  The firm’s goal was to make the stay-in-place renovation as disruptive-free as possible to allow the firm to focus on their core business during the process.  Swing space was utilized such that each floor could be renovated one at a time, thereby allowing for phasing of the project schedule and resultant re-occupancy of their floors.

Approach

Catalyst’s consulting model allowed for support to RJL/RJL’s internal team for oversight of the Landlord’s turn key construction delivery method, as well as management of the non-construction work streams.  This approach allowed for strong integration of Landlord and Tenant work, seamless coordination needed for an occupied remodel and effective oversight of spend.  By approaching the project in a collaborative manner, Catalyst was able successfully deliver the project by integrating all team members and acting as the grounding point/conduit on RJL’s behalf.
