Today we have a big photo-filled update on 16 Chestnut, the 410,000 square foot office tower under construction next to the Millennium Bridge and the Union Station light rail platforms. 16 Chestnut will be mostly occupied by DaVita as an expansion of their headquarters across the street, with remaining space available for other tenants. The 19-story tower was designed by Gensler and is being developed by East West Partners and Invesco Real Estate. Saunders is the builder.

Let’s start our photo tour at the corner of 16th and Chestnut and work our way counterclockwise around the building…

Next, around to the 17th Street side of the tower facing the Chestnut Pavilion:

Rounding the corner we get to the side facing the Union Station light rail platforms and where the 16th Street Mall shuttles will resume boarding once construction on 16 Chestnut is finished:

And the fourth side facing the Millennium Bridge and the existing DaVita headquarters building:

Let’s conclude with a couple of shots from Commons Park. As you can see, 16 Chestnut has a few floors to go before topping off.

That’s all for 16 Chestnut for the time being, but we’ll be back!
