Paradigm Health Club
Development Consulting: Design and Construct a Special Use Building
We were initially engaged by the principals of The Paradigm Health Club to help them locate and lease a facility for their planned athletic club to be located in Louisville, Colorado.

As a newcomer to the area, Stride benefited greatly from (their) knowledge of the local business landscape, understanding of the current business climate and facility at identifying appropriate properties to consider. The last of these points came from their ability to listen. They took the time to understand my views on what would be important to Stride in not just selecting a site, but in succeeding in a given location.
