Back on September 13th, we learned that an office project was in the works for the block bounded by 15th, Delgany, 16th, and the Light Rail tracks in Downtown’s Central Platte Valley. Yesterday, the details of that project, now known as 1900 16th Street, were revealed in both the Rocky Mountain News (Trammell Crow Announces New Project) and the Denver Post (LoDo to Get $100 Million Office Tower).

The project consists of two parts. Planned for the half block facing 15th Street is a 1,200-space parking garage, which will provide parking for not only this project and the Gates HQ nearby, but for the CPV in general. On the half block facing 16th Street are sites for two office towers: One will be the 335,000 SF, 18-story project planned for the corner of 16th and Delgany reported in yesterday’s articles. The second will be a shorter (about 10-story) 250,000 SF tower planned as a future phase at 16th and the railroad tracks at the base of the Millennium Bridge. Trammell Crow will be developing the project for the owner, with David Owen Tryba Architects doing the design.

Speaking of design… below a high-resolution, full-sized version of the rendering (courtesy of Trammell Crow/Rocky Mountain News). Visible in this image is, from left to right: the Gates Headquarters, Delgany and Wewatta Streets, the 1,200-space parking garage, the 18-story office tower, the future-phase shorter office tower, the existing Promenade Lofts and Riverfront Tower condo buildings, and the Millennium Bridge. In the background behind the proposed parking garage you can even see a completed Museum of Contemporary Arts/Denver building and the Monarch Mills condo project.

For another perspective, here’s the site plan for this block from the Denver Commons PUD:

The site marked “19B” is Trammell Crow’s proposed 18-story office tower, “19C” is the proposed 1,200-space parking garage, and “19A” is the future-phase shorter office tower.

Let’s hope Downtown can experience in the near future some sustained job growth so that all of the office projects proposed of late can come to fruition and that even more can be pursued.
