Organization Background and Purpose |
|
| Date Established: | 07/01/2004- |
| Description: |
6/30/04 the Alliance purchased a property in Lower Downtown Denver with an historic building and adjoining lot to rent affordable space to non-profit organizations whose missions address sustainability. The Alliance Center provides a base for tenants and like-minded organizations from which to advocate for development of policies and implementation of practices of sustainability. Following extensive green renovation, the Center demonstrates how a Multi-Tenant Nonprofit Center benefits its tenants, partners and community; a building can be used as a tool for social advocacy; and sound building design and technologies create healthy workplaces and reduce environmental impacts. |
| Products/Services: |
The Center offers stable, below market rent that helps shield tenants from swings in the economy and dips in their revenues; shared use of conference rooms with up-to-date audiovisual equipment; meeting spaces available to tenants and non-tenants; shared office equipment and services like phone system, high speed Internet access, bulk purchasing and recycling; lunch forums to inform tenants, partners and visitors about sustainability issues; networking events, and high quality, healthy, environmentally sound workplace. In 2006 the Center earned LEED Gold Certification for Existing Building, Silver Certification for Commercial Interiors, and EPA Energy Star Leader status. |
