Sbarra Construction West Inc. recently completed construction of Max’s Wine Dive, located at 696 Sherman St. in Denver. Shell work to the 100-year-old structure for the project consisted of removing load-bearing 12-inch-thick masonry walls and installation of piers and steel moment frames in order to open up the space for restaurant use. Floors and roof structures were reinforced to meet current codes, incoming water service was upsized, and a new electrical service was installed, along with fire protection systems throughout and new rooftop units. The tenant work consisted of a full-service kitchen with kitchen hoods and installation of an exterior grease interceptor tank. New bathroom cores, back-of-house and support areas were also completed. Bar and restaurant finishes maintained the historical character of the building with exposed brick, rough-sawn wood paneling, engineered wood plank flooring, and steel bar top.
