White Construction Group recently broke ground on The Move, an anticipated tech building at 202 Sixth St. in Castle Rock. The $10 million, 50,000-square-foot building will feature a contemporary architectural style creating a prominent presence from the freeway and the downtown area, noted White Construction. Some of the highlights featured in the building include multiple overhead doors effectively bringing the outdoors into the building, modern energy-efficient MEP systems to provide lower energy consumption, 74 parking spaces with bicycle parking and a large, open office floor plan. The industrial features and urban landscape design makes this building unique to the downtown area. The Move will also be the first building in downtown Castle Rock to feature solar panels covering approximately 8,646 sf of roof area and offsetting about 20 percent of the electric energy consumption. Designed for companies wanting to expand, the space will be home to Where Food Comes From Inc. and Digital Globe Services Inc. (dgs). “We couldn’t be more excited about our engagement with The Move. This new building not only gives us an opportunity to expand our space, but the unique attributes incorporating healthy living and sustainability align perfectly with our corporate objectives,” said John Saunders, CEO of Where Food Comes From Inc. “We are a company built on the verification of where and how food is raised, which means that we interact with a wide range of clients – from the wonderful farmers and ranchers here in Colorado and all over the U.S. to executives of the largest food companies in the world. As a result, we need a space that is welcoming, versatile, and represents exactly who we are, and we know The Move will give us the opportunity to achieve that.” “It will benefit dgs in two ways, one, it allows our teams to work together in one space and and, two, it establishes the infrastructure to support our current growth rate. It will benefit the Castle Rock community because it will bring new people here that will consume products and enjoy all that Castle Rock has to offer,” added Jeff Cox, founder of dgs. Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture designed the building. Additional partners in the project are Castle Rock Economic Development Council, the Town of Castle Rock, the Castle Rock Downtown Development Authority, Castle Rock Bank, First Bank and Colorado Lending Source.
