Sprung Construction’s latest project draws inspiration from historic buildings in Denver.
By Alan Dorich
When Sprung Construction takes on a project, it takes a unique collaborative approach to building it. “We like to get all parties involved together early on in the design process, and come up with solutions that work for design, construction and performance of the building,” Senior Project Manager Jordan Dame says. “We challenge the initial concept and attempt to come up with the best solutions possible.”
The company has brought this philosophy to The Ramble Hotel for Gravitas Development Group, which specializes in urban infill projects within Denver. “We have a great working relationship with Gravitas, and have built and maintain the majority of their projects,” he says, noting that the two firms office out of a mixed use project made from 29 stacked shipping containers directly across the street from the Hotel site. Gravitas Development owns the container project and Sprung Construction built it.
When finished, The Ramble Hotel will be a 50-room boutique hotel in Denver’s River North (RiNo) neighborhood. “It’s a very exciting location in Denver right now,” Dame says, noting that the area is seeing a substantial amount of development.

By Tim O'Connor
Today's office building developers like to tout their design and lifestyle amenities: how much of the facade is made from glass, what restaurants are nearby, how many treadmills the workout room has and what sustainable materials were used in construction. But for many companies, parking availability is every bit as important as those more marketable features.
A good parking spot is not only a convenience; it's a status symbol – and a revenue generator. High-end office buildings in Orange County, Calif., can charge up to $1,200 a month for a reserved ground-level covered parking space near the entrance. Demand and revenue potential has office developments thinking about how to maximize their parking availability, leading to opportunities for dedicated parking structure builders such as California's ARB Structures.
