Work is expected to begin later this spring on one of the biggest office tower projects in recent Denver history.
What is being called 1900 Lawrence, will see the building of a 30-story structure that will include Class A office space on a block bordered by Lawrence Street to the north and Arapahoe Street to the south.
The project, done with in conjunction with Riverside Investment & Development, which has offices in Denver, and the Chicago-based Convexity Properties, will feature a glass-walled building with a sleek, modernistic design, and eleven private entrances.
Everything about the project is big, with 10- to 12-foot-high finished ceilings in a structure measuring 700,000 square feet.
Plans for the structure also suggest the latest in technological wonders, including dual voice-data riser closets, Bluetooth-enabled access control, and a Telco point of entry.
The building will also have two retail spaces on both ends of the structure, a spacious lobby and large entry plaza.
First proposed in early 2000, plans for the building have slightly changed to now include a greater emphasize on natural daylight, low and/or no-touch wall features, and overall air quality.
Additional amenities will see the building of conference room space, a tenant lounge, and fitness center.
The project recently received around $242 million in construction financing from the Little Rock, Arkansas-based Bank OZK.
If all goes well, work on the building is expected to be completed by early 2024.
