University Physicians, Inc.

“It was exciting to watch Opus bring together a myriad of experts to develop, design and build a new home for University Physicians, Inc.," said Stefannie Emerson, Director of Business Development & Planning for University Physicians, Inc. “During the entire process, Opus' level of expertise and creative energy was palpable despite difficult times within the construction industry…As an owner and landlord we are very appreciative to the team and their ability to create a building we can all be proud of."

Our developers helped the client evaluate several parcels of land, allowing them to make the best choice for their business. With budget a concern, our integrated model provided certainty very early with a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) established before construction began. The integrated process also proved invaluable by engaging the architect responsible for tenant improvements very early to help maximize the efficiency and layout of the core and shell of the building.

The building was located and designed to maximize benefits for employees with ample outdoor seating space, an in-house cafeteria and mountain views. Surrounded by retail options, the building also has immediate access to and views of a public plaza. The transit-oriented building was developed with the future in mind: since completion, a light rail stop opened within walking distance.
