Opus Northwest built Pulte Mortgage's headquarters in Inverness.

Denver-based  Opus Northwest   is executing $150 million worth of fee-based design-build projects in Colorado.

The projects will generate  a total of 600 construction jobs in 2009 and 2010.

Three of the most high-profile projects include the recent  completion of the Pulte Mortgage, LLC  national headquarters; a ground breaking for the Lincoln Commons Shopping Center, Lincoln Commons; and the  University Physicians, Inc. II (UPI) building at the Colorado Science + Technology Park at Fitzsimmons in Aurora.

“We’re generating construction jobs for the local economy, while maintaining our more conservative, and successful, approach of fee-based work,” said Marshall Burton of Opus Northwest. “It’s a proven approach to real estate, and one that is strengthening our company during these challenging times, while providing our clients with successful outcomes. We’ve established a strong position in the local market during the past decade, and these most recent projects represent our continuing momentum for years to come.”

The Pulte project had more than 230 construction jobs, the UPI project currently employs more than 250 and Lincoln Commons will employ as many as 120.

The Pulte headquarters is a three-story, 95,000 square foot office building in the Inverness Business Park. It is 100 percent leased and will accommodate 650 employees.

Lincoln Commons will add approximately 100,000-square-feet of retail space upon completion in the summer of 2010, with the overall build-out of Lincoln Commons expected to total more than r 600,000-square-feet of mixed-use development.

UPI is a six story, 195,000 square foot, multi-tenant building which will serve as the corporate headquarters for UPI, a full service management organization responsible for the administration of all professional clinical activities of physicians employed by the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
