Situated in the city’s Central Business District, the Class A, LEED Silver-certified high-rise is just a 15-minute walk from the Colorado Convention Center. Close to all of downtown’s accommodation and dining options, 1999 Broadway is less than half a mile away from the Denver Pavilions and a short drive from the Cherry Creek Shopping Center.
Completed in 1985, the 680,277-square-foot trophy tower was bought by Franklin Street Properties in 2013 for $183 million.
