Magnetic Capital recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for Cherry Creek’s newest office building at 2nd & Adams. The 100,000-square-foot, “hospitality-infused” building is expected to be 70 percent leased when construction begins, including a 30,000-square-foot lease to Bow River Capital.
“We’re very excited to announce the start of construction for 2nd & Adams, and provide our tenants with an office building that is designed and configured with the ultimate in hospitality in mind,” said Chris Carroll of Magnetic Capital. “Cherry Creek represents a ‘flight to quality’ among businesses that want a safe, friendly and first-class location where their employees can live, work and play. While downtown Denver continues to struggle with office vacancies, Cherry Creek has experienced 65 percent rent growth since Covid and a steady influx of new office and retail tenants, as well as residents filling existing and new multifamily communities.”
Bow River Capital, a Denver-based private alternative asset manager, will locate the company’s new headquarters at 2nd & Adams and become the building’s anchor tenant. “We’re thrilled to be moving Bow River’s headquarters to 2nd & Adams and to be the first of many companies that will enjoy the building’s forward-thinking design,” said Bow River Capital Chief Operating Officer Jane Ingalls. “We were drawn to the focus on hospitality and elevated common areas that 2nd & Adams will provide to our team and guests.”
Construction of the mixed-use office development is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of 2025. The project will include approximately 80,000 square feet of office space and 20,000 square feet of retail. The development team is focused a “hospitality-infused office operating model” with a heavy emphasis on food and beverage and the broader activation of common areas. The project will have multiple food and beverage and retail concepts across the ground floor and the rooftop will feature a 5,600 square foot bar and restaurant, anchored by best-in-class national operators.
