Introduction
1515 Arapahoe is situated on 2.44 acres and zoned B-5 in the City and County of Denver. The 554,440 square foot office complex comprises three towers with 16 floors in Tower 1, eight floors in Tower 2, and 11 floors in Tower 3. The building entrance faces the 16th Street Pedestrian Mall, which runs from one end of downtown to the other.
An expression of Cartesian geometry, the complex steps up and down in a modular assembly. Metal-clad columns and beams link the open spaces under the buildings. The structure is steel frame with lightweight concrete over corrugated steel decking at slab, and the skin is black anodized aluminum with a black glass curtain wall. An outdoor courtyard, centered amidst all three towers, is located on the second floor.
The main entrance and lobby were renovated in 1996 to create identity and to tie together the three towers. In the lobby, a portion of the “Campidoglio” (a classic Michelangelo design created in the 16th century as a means of forming a plaza amidst three disjointed buildings in Rome) was used as a floor pattern. The lobby stretches a full city block from 16th Street to 15th Street creating a gallery effect.
1515 Arapahoe offers a three-level, underground parking facility with 723 stalls – sufficient for 100 visitor stalls and one of downtown Denver’s best tenant parking ratios at one space per 900 square feet.
