“As a fast growing, worldwide company in electronics distribution, our growth requirements in Denver commanded an accelerated construction schedule. With Opus’ unique design-build approach, and the advantage of having all the resources right at hand, Opus met project commitments from start to finish. Also, Opus’ reputation for quality construction met our need for budget options, highly technical facilities and functional space that allowed for expansion. This was all performed without Arrow diverting focus from the pursuit of our core business.”

"If Opus commits to undertake the project, their broad experience will clearly qualify them to engage it professionally.

Scott Kaplan

"The top one or two things that I look for in a development is someone who will listen to our position and our perspective and match that up with what he's trying to achieve and I think Opus has done a very good job with that."

Fifteen Twenty-One Second Avenue

"My wife Lisa and I are simply thrilled with the pervasive quality of Fifteen Twenty-One Second Avenue. In addition to the best architecture, design, and materials, our new home resides a mere block from the Pike Place Market with its iconic and vibrant quirkiness. Even more so, the 143 homes of the building are emerging as a neighborhood in its own right. Through a number of evening gatherings of our new neighbors, we've grown to appreciate that the building's community will reflect the same high quality and spirit that we've seen in the building itself."

Lakewood City Commons

“On behalf of the City of Lakewood, we would like to extend our appreciation for your leadership and vision in bringing the Lakewood City Commons to fruition. This marvelous complex is a center of community activity and a focal point for Lakewood’s civic identity. Opus demonstrated a remarkable degree of sophistication in gaining public support for the development of the most controversial piece of real estate in Lakewood’s history. This property has been the constant subject of litigation, referendum, and conflict. Many citizens considered it an untouchable open space ‘crown jewel’. Congratulations on a job well done.”

Pulte Mortgage Corporation

“The reason we chose Opus to build our corporate office was based on your track record of delivering on time a quality product and the professionalism of you and your staff to provide endless help and support toward the project. As a mortgage company, we had very little time and expertise in the area of build-to-suit, new building construction and new facility planning. Opus made this process very simple by providing weekly communication from the Construction Contractor Status Meetings and a Project Manager that was tireless in channeling communication needed by the contractors in the simplest terms. As a Facility Manager, I still had a significant job to perform at my company managing day-to-day operations and the choice of Opus made this process very manageable. I report to our SVP/CFO who also experienced a manageable level of workload with the decision- making process and was also as pleased with the performance of Opus. We targeted our move-in date eight months prior to the actual move-in and, together, we hit the mark dead on.”

James J. Cruz
Assistant Vice President/Facility Operations Manager

UnitedHealth Group

"UnitedHealth Group chose Opus for this built-to-suit project because we valued Opus' vertically integrated design-build approach with the professional capability to do it all for us, from site selection, development and design to construction. Opus' track record and ability to deliver repeat projects on a national basis through one permanent account team was a major consideration."

The turnkey design-build approach of Opus met our needs by completing the projects in an accelerated manner at highly competitive prices. The professionalism and quality of personnel at Opus is second to none, and the ability of the Opus team to take us from conceptualization to occupancy is exceptional."

So they’re willing to do it and do it right and they bring the entire package and are able to do it."
