Riverside Investment & Development (Riverside) has signed global law firm Reed Smith to a long-term, 30,644-square-foot lease for the 28th floor at 1900 Lawrence in Denver. Reed Smith will make the move from 1400 Wewatta St., where it has 19,000 square feet, when the lease commences in July 2026. The deal comes fresh on the heels of Riverside’s recent loan extension and $34 million capital infusion, deployed to accelerate the leasing program.
“This lease is a big vote of confidence for our building,” said Riverside Senior Vice President Greg Pierce. “With capital in place and the property’s future secure, Reed Smith’s lease is a real turning point for the building and a sign of more success to come.”
In 2025, Lawrence is experiencing significant leasing momentum, with recent deals including Mercer’s 12,182-square-foot lease and Monfort Companies’ 6,755-square-foot lease.
Denver’s newest office building is a modern, amenity-rich trophy asset that redefined the tenant experience and set the standard for health and wellness when it was delivered in June 2024. The seventh-floor amenity center offers a hospitality-inspired experience and features an outdoor terrace, a state-of-the-art fitness center with steam rooms and spa-quality locker rooms, a golf simulator, and an upscale restaurant and lounge, while the building’s 30th floor rooftop deck offers panoramic views through two-story vision glass windows and includes a pickleball court and a bar. In addition, the building established a new standard of performance for occupant wellness, utilizing cutting-edge technology to evaluate, regulate, and optimize the indoor environment.
Last month, Riverside announced that Bank of OZK, the lender on the building’s $242 million loan, had extended the maturity through mid-2027. As part of the agreement, Riverside and equity partner Convexity Partners committed an additional $34 million to the venture.
