The US Department of Justice required a Child Care
Center and could not accommodate this need in the
Main Justice Federal Building in downtown
Washington, DC. The project included identifying a
location, negotiating the lease, and overseeing
construction of the space to meet DC code and local
and Federal child care licensing requirements.
I was responsible for coordinating with the customer in
their development of space requirements. Industry
standards and code compliance were critical since the
intention was to construct a fully accredited Child Care
facility to serve USDOJ families and other Federal
employees in the area.
Several facilities were offered and evaluated. I
negotiated the lease terms and conditions with the
property owner who was located in Canada. Upon
successful completion of the lease execution, I was
responsible for assisting with space design. I assisted
the Construction Manager throughout the space
alteration process.
After project completion, the “Just Us Kids” center was
fully accredited and continues to serve clients today.

potential site for the location of the Olympic
Counterterrorism Center. A multi year lease was
executed in this location and an unprecedented level
of security measures were constructed.
I was responsible for communicating between the

at the local, state and Federal levels) and the Lessor.
I negotiated lease amendments to reflect required
building modifications. High level security systems
were constructed into nearly every building system. I
tracked various funding sources and ensured costs
were fair and reasonable. I managed a team of
architects, engineers, and technical experts that was
responsible for quality assurance and spec
compliance. Upon successful completion of the
games, I oversaw the restoration of the space back to
its original condition.

optimize office functionality for Federal
tenants
• Requirement to expend all funds
allocated to the project prior to the
deadline
• Various tenants with different needs

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of
2009 designated approximately $160 million for a complete
renovation and modernization of the Byron G. Rogers
Federal Building in downtown Denver. The project
included complete internal demolition (including asbestos
abatement) and design and construction for upgrades to
the structural elements and all major building systems.
Upgrades will reduce annual energy costs by 55-65
percent per year. The final project was awarded a LEED
Gold Certification.
Tenants of the building include the Securities and
Exchange Commission, the new Patent and Trademark
Office Satellite location, 14 different operating divisions of
the US Department of Health and Human Services, the
Regional Office of the Social Security Administration, and
the Executive Office for Immigration Review. All tenants of
the building had unique space requirements ranging from
administrative Courtrooms to holding cells to standard
office / conferencing areas.
I was responsible for tenant coordination, acting as the
liaison between over 20 different Federal agencies and the
Design/Build team. I assisted with the translation of
concepts and ideas into constructible office requirements.
I created the stacking/housing plan for the entire building
to maximize tenant satifsfaction and maximize space
utilization best practices.
I developed the space requirements for the building
amenity areas which included several conference rooms, a
Federal Occupational Health Unit, fitness center, café, and
multiple shared collaborative areas. I also coordinated the
selection and establishment of building standard finishes.
Currently, I am responsible for the marketing and leasing
of the remaining vacant space in the building. I also
provide follow up communication with tenants that have
moved into the building and oversee any construction
change orders to their space

ARRA also designated nearly $30 million for a
remodel/renovation of the Historic US Custom House.
Work on the 82 year old building significantly improved
its energy efficiency by nearly 20% and protected and
preserved its historic character. The 5 story building
received new electrical and mechanical systems and
more than 750 windows were replaced to lower energy
costs and improve tenant security. The project scope
also included architectural upgrades to some interior
spaces.
Building tenants include Bankruptcy Courts, Small
Business Administration, Military Entrance Processing
Station, and other small tenants. Special building
spaces included medical examination rooms,
Courtrooms, meeting spaces, and standard
office/conference room areas.
I assisted with the relocation move of MEPS into a
private leased building at the beginninig of the project.
The 2nd
floor was then utilized as “swing space” to
accommodate building tenants while their floor was
being renovated. Upon completion of all floors, this
floor was renovated for re-occupancy by MEPS.
I was responsible for establishing the design of the
swing space for each tenant as they were moved
temporarily over the course of this 3 year project. I
identified the swing spaces and coordinated
construction with multiple moves. I also
communicated between building tenants and the
construction team when issues arose during

The Byron Rogers Federal Courthouse underwent
an extensive structural blast-resistant upgrade,
along with asbestos abatement and replacement of

project, this building provides occupants with added
safety and thermal comfort. The energy efficient
windows also provide cost savings to the
Government. This project was funded by the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
as part of a major Federal Office Building
modernization project valued at $150 million dollars.
This expansive remodel took place while the building
was occupied and court proceedings were taking
place.
I was responsible for communications with tenants
regarding the impact of construction on their
operations. I coordinated and scheduled short term
moves around the building due to construction. I
tracked funding by the different Courts entities
located in the Courthouse. I assisted with the
recording and cataloging of Historic features of the
building. I oversaw the assignments of space in the
building at completion and ensured the accuracy of
as-built drawings. I developed a creative solution to
resolve issues concerning shared spaces in the
building.

8. Case StudyPrivate Tenant Outlease at U.S. Custom House
721 19th
Street, Denver, CO
Space renovation / outlease
Downsizing by the Bankruptcy Courts resulted
in approximately 10,000 SF of vacant space in
this historic building. A Federal tenant couldn’t
be found to utilize the space.
Seeking a creative solution, I executed a project
to furnish 2 suites with excess furniture and
carpet left over from a project at the Denver
Federal Center. I marketed the space via
different platforms.
I negotiated and secured a private tenant that
signed a 3 year lease starting November 1,
2017. The income from this lease will be used
for historic renovations and improvements in the
building. Income of $50,000 per year will be
added to the Funds From Operations for the
building. Vacant space is reduced.
This was the first project of this type in the
Region.
