In the News - 1900 Lawrence signs first tenant

$400M Denver office tower lands first tenant while under construction

By Kate Tracy

The building, 1900 Lawrence, broke ground in April and is expected to be completed in 2024.

The developers under construction on a $400 million downtown office tower have secured their first lease. 

The law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP have signed a lease for 31,000 square feet on the 30th floor of 1900 Lawrence, a Class A office and retail project that broke ground this April. At full buildout, 1900 Lawrence will have 710,000 square feet of office space and 10,000 square feet of retail, as well as onsite parking on the first through sixth floors. 

Riverside Investment & Development Company, Convexity Properties and Canyon Partners Real Estate are the developers behind 1900 Lawrence.

Denver law firms have been on the move in Denver this year, many of whom are opting for less office space in newer, higher-quality buildings.

Gibson Dunn is no exception, with its newest lease representing less square footage than its current footprint at 1801 California St., according to Chris Payne, VP and Denver market lead at Riverside. Gibson Dunn has offices in 20 cities in the United States, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.  

Payne said 1900 Lawrence is on target for completion in the second quarter of 2024. Payne said the building was appealing for a firm like Gibson Dunn for being at the gateway to Lower Downtown and in a prominent location, as well as its focus on health and wellness and its extensive amenities.
