Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck Signs 100,000 SQFT Lease at Block 162

Patrinely Group and USAA Real Estate recently announced that a fifth law firm has signed an office lease at Block 162. Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLC, a national law and lobbying firm, will occupy approximately 100,000 square feet, beginning spring 2023 on Floors 26, 27, 28 and 29, making it the building’s largest tenant.

Located at 675 15th Street, between Welton and California Streets in downtown’s Central Business District, Block 162 is a 30-story, 596,295-square-foot, Class A speculative office building that is certified LEED Gold.

“With an amenity-rich building with state-of-the-art design and features that meet the needs of today’s office users, we are confident we will continue to attract high caliber companies like Brownstein as quality, safety and flexibility remain top priorities for tenants,” said Robert Fields, president and CEO of Patrinely Group.

“This lease with Brownstein reinforces the attractiveness of Block 162 and our strategy to position it as the region’s premier office building,” said Patrinely Group’s Rocky Mountain Region Senior Vice President David Haltom. “As one of the premier law firms in Colorado and the entire Rocky Mountain region, Brownstein’s decision to relocate their headquarters to Block 162 is a validation of our strategy to deliver a new standard of quality compared to other office buildings in Denver. We have homed in on every little detail of the building, from best-in-class HVAC, flexible, column-free floor plates for optimal customization, and first-class indoor/outdoor amenities, to create cutting-edge office space in a sustainable, energy-efficient, and well-ventilated building with easy access to light and air to take advantage of Denver’s great climate. In addition, we are extremely encouraged by the excitement we have continued to see from the Brownstein team and other potential tenants for our indoor/outdoor Sky Terrace amenities – which we believe raises the bar for office amenities in Denver.”

Brownstein selected Block 162 because of the advantages the building offers to attract and retain top talent, elevate the amenities it provides to clients and the community, and allow the company to lead the way for a new type of office environment. Those features include its sustainable, energy-efficient, technology-forward and flexible design, attractive indoor/outdoor amenities, health, safety, and wellness features, prime Central Business District location, unrivaled transit and vehicle accessibility, including ease of access to I-25 and adjacency to light rail and the 16th Street Free Mall Ride shuttle, as well as spectacular Front Range views.

“Our move to Block 162 in Denver’s central core reaffirms a commitment to the city and Colorado that Norm Brownstein, Jack Hyatt and Steve Farber made when they founded the firm 54 years ago,” said Brownstein’s Managing Partner Rich Benenson. “Our new office space will offer best-in-class amenities for our employees, clients and community partners. We are creating a space where people can collaborate and continue Brownstein’s legacy of excellence for our clients and the community.”

Block 162 includes 20 floors of office space on Levels 11–30. The façade comprises an all-glass curtainwall system, offering views of the Front Range from every office floor through 10-foot, clear windows. The average floor plate size is 29,300 rentable square feet, designed to feature zero interior columns within the office floorplates. The building includes more than 9,000 rentable square feet of ground-floor retail in three retail lease spaces. The project offers parking at a ratio of 1.7 cars per 1,000 rentable square feet, with parking spaces located within three underground parking levels and a 10-floor, above-grade podium garage. Block 162 completed in Q2 2021, and the building is available for tenants immediately.

The office tower features an 11th floor amenity area dedicated exclusively to the building’s tenants, with a fitness center, social lounge, and conference and meeting space. This interior amenity space provides direct access through over 110 linear feet of operable glass walls to the building’s outdoor sky terrace, which has a manicured outdoor roof garden and includes a dedicated exercise lawn, as well as seating areas, an outdoor conference table, and two outdoor fire pits. The fitness center features expansive operable glass walls that open onto the exercise lawn, along with an indoor section complete with stretching areas, cardio stations, free weights, and men’s and women’s locker rooms with private showers. The indoor social lounge also features expansive operable glass walls that open to the outside roof garden, offering casual seating, fire pits, and views of downtown, and it is connected to 2,800 square feet of conference and meeting space, AV-equipped for events and meetings.
