How PhoxOne Is Redefining Building Performance: Better, Faster, Cheaper
Transforming the Built Environment: PhoxOne’s Unitized Solutions Are Driving Performance
The commercial real estate industry is under pressure. Energy codes are tightening, construction costs are rising, and tenant expectations have never been higher. Owners and developers are being asked to deliver buildings that perform better, meet sustainability goals, and stay financially viable.
For many, the building envelope has been the missing piece. Traditional curtain wall and storefront systems can be slow, costly, and disruptive — especially in retrofit projects. Denver-based PhoxOne is addressing these challenges with a bold new approach: fully unitized envelope systems that achieve better, faster, and cheaper results.
“We see ourselves as transforming the built environment,” said Sam DePizzol, Chief Revenue Officer at PhoxOne. “Our solutions combine precision design and off-site unitization, giving owners and contractors the ability to deliver high-performance façades without the usual compromises.”
Better: Performance That Pays Back
At the heart of PhoxOne’s work is a focus on performance. Partnering with next-generation innovators like LuxWall, the company integrates vacuum-insulated glass (R-18 center-of-glass) and other advanced technologies into its systems. The result: façades that rival wall-like insulation values while preserving transparency and aesthetics. For building owners, this means:
- Up to 45% reduction in energy costs
- Compliance with emerging energy performance standards (Energize Denver).
- Enhanced tenant comfort, from acoustics to thermal stability.
Every dollar saved on energy flows back into the NOI. We’re helping owners achieve beautiful, profitable, and sustainable buildings.
Faster: Unitized Delivery
Traditional stick-built façade construction is labor-intensive and often subject to delays. PhoxOne’s unitized approach changes the game. Systems are engineered and fabricated off-site under controlled conditions, then shipped in ready-to-install panels. This reduces the need for scare labor resources, shortens construction timelines, and minimizes disruption — critical for occupied retrofits where tenant downtime can be costly. “Speed isn’t just about schedule,” Sam said. “It’s about reducing risk, avoiding weather delays, and getting tenants or buyers into spaces sooner.”
Cheaper: Lifecycle Value
While many associate “cheaper” with cutting corners, PhoxOne defines it differently: lowering total lifecycle costs through smarter engineering. By combining durability, higher energy performance, and streamlined installation, their systems create value long after the ribbon-cutting. Owners benefit from reduced operating expenses, extended asset life, and greater leasing appeal. Developers gain projects that pencil more easily, even in today’s higher-cost environment.
Retrofit and New Construction
PhoxOne is actively delivering solutions across both adaptive reuse projects and new construction. From breathing new life into aging office towers to supplying unitized systems for ground-up towers, the company’s versatility makes it a fit for multiple asset strategies. Whether it’s repositioning a downtown office or launching a new multifamily tower, the formula is the same: better performance, faster schedules, and lower costs.
What Next
As cities raise the bar on energy performance and capital markets reward efficiency, the façade is no longer just an aesthetic choice — it’s a financial strategy. PhoxOne is ready to partner with owners, developers, and design teams who want to future-proof their assets.
