A new office building is coming to Lower Downtown Denver… and an ugly parking lot is going away too! First Century Development is moving forward with their 125,000 SF, 5-story office project, 1755 Blake Street, on Block 021. Back in my blog entries of June 3 and August 6, I covered the project’s journey through the demolition and design review process with the Lower Downtown Design Review Board. Now that 1755 Blake has been given the LDDRB’s blessing, the project is moving forward. The project is being marketed by Grubb & Ellis, the general contractor is Haselden Construction and the architect is RNL Design. The project is planned to be completed by mid-2008 and will include ground-floor retail and two and a half levels of underground parking.
Here are a couple of preliminary images, courtesy of Grubb & Ellis. More images will be available in the near future:
