25 years, and we believe in all that Denver has to offer as a dynamic growth market.” Locally, Patrinely’s portfolio includes the 900,000-square- foot ParkRidge Corporate Campus in southeast Denver, and nearly 900 units of combined multifamily housing at properties in Boulder, Broomfield and Denver. The firm’s latest addition to the city’s silhouette, Block 162, is also now the crown jewel of Patrinely Group’s port- folio. Rising elegantly 30 stories above 15th and California streets in a stylish unfolding of design brilliance and con- struction excellence, Block 162 is bold and beautiful and glimmers azure. This Class AA office building offers 606,000 net rentable sf and includes 13 levels of structured parking above and below grade, and 20 levels of offices starting on the 11th floor. Among Block 162’s early tenants, Denver law firm Sher- man & Howard LLC’s team of some 230 lawyers and sup- port staff now occupy nearly 60,000 sf of space on levels 23 and 24. The ability to reimagine its workspace in fully modern environs that match its team’s energy and inno- vation was a key consideration in its quest for a new head- quarters location. “Downtown Denver is being invigorated with dynamic new architecture,” continues Haltom, who notes the city’s increasing ability to attract large corporations scouting lo- cations for new or relocated headquarters. “Patrinely saw Block 162 as an opportunity to join this positive momen- tum and bring to market a Class AA office tower that meets a growing demand for next-level expectations in ameni- ties, quality and user experience.” Patrinely Group’s premium expectations set an unde- niably high standard of excellence that is evident in the building’s every detail. From the strong angular features of the exterior recommunicated by the columns in the lob- by and reception desk to the bespoke selection of Italian marble, literally, no stone was left unturned in the pursuit of perfection. Patrinely’s elaborate design vision and exact- ing expectations compelled general contractor/construc- tion manager Swinerton to mock up many of the interior’s intricate components.
