ABOUT COLORADO CENTER
The Vision
With the construction of a new light rail station and in anticipation of expanding commerce in Denver, Colorado Center was designed to become a premier transit-oriented p
THE BEGINNING
Colorado Center delivered Tower 1 to Denver’s business community. The 180,000 SF office tower stood 12 stories high, provided 700 covered garage parking spaces for tenants and was noticeably the first Class AA office tower located central to downtown and the Denver Tech Center.
Responding to the success of Tower I and the overwhelming demand from local businesses, the next phase of Colorado Center was added in 1999.Located on the east side of Colorado Boulevard, Tower 2 mirrored Tower 1’s 12 stories with a slightly larger footprint bringing the total SF to 275,000.
A United Artist theater and Dave and Buster’s restaurant were added to Colorado Center in conjunction with Tower 2, offering tenants and visitors a specific destination for entertainment and fun. The additional 963 garage parking spaces would alleviate any vehicular congestion generated by the available office space and retail on site.
A new era was upon Colorado Center! ASB Capital Management partnered with Lincoln Property Company, Inc. to acquire the entire Colorado Center. At closing, the project was 65% leased with surviving lease rates. ASB and LPC saw Colorado Center as an opportunity to capitalize on the location and anticipated success of one of the largest TOD projects in Denver.
THE EVOLUTION
Colorado Center is a regionally recognized business epicenter with plans to evolve into much more than just a work destination. Totaling over 1 million SF, upon completion the project will combine class AA office space, retail and entertainment, residential, pedestrian walkways, ample parking and onsite amenities to create an environment that can be described as business infused with life, and life infused with business.
THE PRESENT
Today over 50 businesses employing more than 2,000 people have established Colorado Center as their preferred place to conduct business. As the Denver market continues to gain momentum toward economic recovery, LPC will take the opportunity to introduce the next phase of Colorado Center to the market. The original strategy of capitalizing on the unique location of Colorado Center as a premier TOD has never been more realistic than it is today.
THE FUTURE
LPC and ASB recognize the importance of providing what the tenant in the marketplace needs to operate their business. In March 2019, Colorado Center announced the addition of a new food hall coming to the development. LPC and ASB broke ground on Junction Food & Drink, a 12,220-square-foot food hall concept located on the Retail Main Street. Junction is set to open in Spring 2020 and is a chef-driven food hall that will feature inspired creations from both locally and nationally known chefs. The food hall will house 10 unique concepts, a 40-foot bar, and coffee shop under one roof in addition to an outdoor patio with Wi-Fi access. Junction will bring culinary variety and innovation to the neighborhood dining scene catering to both the office workers within Colorado Center and local residents.
