Tenants have signed agreements for 125,000 square feet of office space at the 1800 Larimer tower in Denver. This leasing activity includes a full-floor renewal by Newmark, which also facilitated the transactions.
Why it matters
The surge in leasing activity reflects a demand for high-end office environments featuring modern amenities and proximity to transit hubs. Businesses are prioritizing accessible, updated spaces following a significant renovation of the property.
The 500,000-square-foot tower underwent a $13 million renovation in 2024 to include fitness and amenity centers. The building features a 17,000-square-foot terrace and is located near Union Station.
