History

 

Denver Place is an office-retail complex in Denver’s CBD and is a highly recognized downtown landmark.  The exterior continuous curtain wall is comprised of silver gray alucobond panels and is contrasted by dark gray reflective glass. Denver Place features great entrances at each tower and each terrace.  When sold in 2007, the retail space featured several restaurants, a dry-cleaners, a bank, and a fitness center.  Crestone’s principals and staff performed asset management, property management and leasing functions while employed by an affiliate of the building’s owner, Amerimar Realty. They were responsible for repositioning the asset as a highly energy efficient Class A office-retail project. Denver Place was the first office building in Colorado to obtain the Energy Star label (1999) and was the first building in Colorado to obtain LEED-EB Gold certification (2004).

 

The property was sold in 2007 for a substantial profit.

History

 

 

One Gateway Plaza

One Gateway Plaza is a four-story suburban Class A multi-tenant office building with a fifth floor penthouse totaling 113,139 rentable square feet. The building is located in the East/Airport submarket of Colorado Springs, which had the lowest vacancy rate in the city of just 3.4% at the time of acquisition. The main lobby of the building has an attractively landscaped, four-story atrium with a large skylight. The building was primarily leased to national companies with a strong emphasis on the defense industry. The property is strategically located in an area accessible to the CBD, Municipal Airport, Peterson Air force Base and the North American Aerospace Defense Command facility (NORAD) which is located in Cheyenne Mountain.

When Amerimar acquired the property in January 1999 the building was only 70% leased. With strategic capital improvements and an aggressive leasing program, the building achieved stabilization by July 1999. It was sold in July 2001 for a significant profit.
