Since DaVita World Headquarters’ groundbreaking earlier in the year, this project has been making significant progress.
The building already has a significant presence looking off the Millennium Bridge.
The elevator core is at 7 stories and will reach a total of 15 stories.
DaVita is also beginning to make a presence in the Central Platte Valley neighborhood.
As mentioned here, DaVita’s ground floor will include a lobby and meeting functions. On top of that, five levels of parking followed by eight levels of office and training space. It will be topped off by a penthouse level which will include an employee lounge and rooftop terrace.
Five floors of parking! Isn’t the office building built on top of a parking garage and next to a parking garage? Isn’t the building located in a highly transit-oriented district? How many more parking spaces do they need?
I think the original site design called for 33 floors of office/residential space with 11 or 12 stories of parking. I think the Qwest tower has 18 stories of parking for 56 floors. The ratio is more or less equal between the two projects.
