A Building Unlike Any Other: The Uncommon Building is Underway

A Building Unlike Any Other: The Uncommon Building is UnderwayDohn Construction’s newest project is anything but ordinary. This project, titled “Uncommon”, will be a seven-story, mixed-use building. Uncommon is expected to take two years to complete, and aims to bring two floors of retail space and 180,000 square feet of apartments to the heart of Old Town Fort Collins. Uncommon’s Project Manager, Jennifer Chavies, has been working hard to make sure the project is getting off to the right start. Ron Shimpa, the Field Superintendent for Uncommon puts it plainly, “This is going to be a fun one.”Uncommon’s future tenants will enjoy a number of amenities including above grade parking, two courtyards, and 151 secured bike parking spots. Apartments will range from studios up to three-bedroom apartments across the five apartment floors. The building will also have two elevators and two stairways.Uncommon is an extremely tight site—the building will be 8” from the property line on the north and south sides, 2’ on the west side, and 5’ on the east side.
Dohn is also seizing this opportunity to unveil new marketing tactics. Erik Berlin, Business Development, has been testing different signage and fence options to ensure the Uncommon building is advertised well during the life of the project.The Uncommon project marks an exciting time for Dohn. Uncommon is an apt name for this building–once it’s complete, there won’t be anything like it.
