East West Partners to start speculative office building

East West Partners has unveiled its plans for The Triangle Building, an $85 million office building in Denver’s Union Station neighborhood. 

Located at 1550 Wewatta St., the 10-story office building has three facades and will serve as a city landmark and a tribute to the potential of what and office space can be.

East West, which is partnering with an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group on the project, is building The Triangle without having a tenant signed on. The team expects to break ground on the project in October.

"We have greate activity, but we still have to snag somebody," says Chris Frampton, Managing Partner at East West. "It feels like we’ve got a pretty appealing product."

The project will include nine stories of office space, 10,000 square feet of street-level retail and two floors of underground parking. The building's unique shape provides 20 percent more window offices than a traditional office building. Oversized glass windows will provide views from every angle.

The project, which will be seeking LEED Gold certification for its green building design, also will include a bike station on Old Wewatta Plaza with capacity for 200 bikes,  a repair and rental facility, lockers and showers. The bike station is being developed by a nonprofit formed by East West Partners in collaboration with the city of Denver and the local bicyling community. Fundraising and design are both under way.
