82 / BUILDING DIALOGUE / March 2018 “My job is to manage the healthy, necessary tension between the designer and the builder,” says Culshaw thoughtfully while acknowl- edging that despite the long road to fruition, The Quincy was rel- atively complication-free in actualization. Shea Property’s original pro forma was adjusted up to account for current market conditions when the project was ready to resume, but Davis’ design and GE John- son’s estimates essentially moved in tandem with the recalculated budget. The Quincy adds a thoughtful, destination living environ- ment for Denver’s downtown renter. When The Prism is complete in the fourth quarter, the completed vision will finally take its place in the Shea Property portfolio. “Getting it right means conceiving a high-quality, market-appro- priate asset, delivering it on-time and on budget, and then stabiliz- ing and refinancing it for the long-term,” finishes Culshaw. “Howev- er, it also means repositioning surface lot parking as a vibrant, new mixed-use microcosm of what makes Denver great. The credit here goes to a team of true professionals who stuck to it and made good on their commitments. That’s what success in development is always about.” \\ PROJECT TEAM DEVELOPER: Shea Properties GENERAL CONTRACTOR: GE Johnson Construction Co.
