DENVER — Patrinely Group and USAA Real Estate have started construction of Block 162, a 30-story office tower in downtown Denver.
Located at 675 15th St., the 595,000-square-foot building will include 20 floors of office space on levels 11-30 with an average floor plate size of 29,500 square feet. The property will also include 9,900 rentable square feet of ground-floor retail, three underground parking levels and a 10-floor, above-grade parking garage.
“Given the continued strength of the Denver marketplace and the lack of available large blocks of Class A space, we recognized that now is the right time to bring a prestigious building like Block 162 to the urban Denver market,” says Robert Fields, president and CEO of Patrinely Group. “We believe that this state-of-the-art building will continue the amazing transformation of downtown and provide prospective tenants a true 21st century work environment for their employees.”
Planned amenities for office tenants at the building include a fitness center, social lounge, conference and meeting space, and a sky terrace on the 11th floor with an outdoor roof garden, seating areas and fire pits.
Patrinely Group, which specializes in commercial office building and build-to-suit corporate headquarters, and USAA Real Estate are the co-developers of Block 162. The architect is Gensler. Cushman & Wakefield will serve as leasing agent.
The project, which is slated for completion in December 2020, is seeking LEED Gold certification.
