The office tower features 25,000-square-foot floorplates and high ceilings, as well as other recently upgraded amenities, such as a fitness center, a conferencing facility and an atrium. The property also features a 727-space parking garage, with a parking ratio of approximately 4 spots per 1,000 square feet.

Plus, the tech hub is connected to the rest of the city through the E, F and R light rail lines, as well as two interstates: I-25 and I-225. The nearby Centennial reliever airport also provides logistical opportunities for companies operating in the area, such as AT&amp;T, Comcast, Boeing, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley, among
