DENVER, Colorado – July 6, 2016 –Investcorp and Seattle-based Schnitzer West, one of the West Coast’s fastest-growing real estate investment, development and property management companies, have partnered to purchase the Centerpoint I and II office towers, two adjacent Class-A buildings consisting of a combined 3.6 acres in the heart of Denver.
Centerpoint I is a 168,486-square-foot, 14-story office building with a modern feel. It features a recently renovated marble and granite lobby with wood accents and an average floor plate size of just over 12,000 square feet, which allows tenants to take advantage of strong window lines and exceptional mountain and downtown Denver views. Next door is Centerpoint II, a 205,534-square-foot, 16-story tower with efficient, flexible floor plates averaging 13,400 square feet that appeal to a wide array of tenant space needs.
“Denver is a booming business center and we’re very excited to be part of the growth taking place here,” said Doug Zabel, managing partner at Schnitzer West. “The Centerpoint buildings offer a flexible environment for tenants seeking a centrally located office space with unparalleled services to meet the needs of the modern workforce.”
The office towers are located at the active intersection of Colorado Boulevard and I-25, offering access to Denver’s commerce centers, a plethora of walkable amenities and Denver’s growing light rail system. Centerpoint I offers tenants a variety of onsite amenities, including a deli and a state-of-the-art health club with showers and lockers, and both buildings offer structured parking. Further, Centerpoint II achieved LEED Platinum EB status in 2015. The leasing team is Jeff Caldwell and Blake Holcomb at Pinnacle Real Estate Advisors.
This investment comes on the heels of Schnitzer West and Investcorp’s purchase of the 901 Fifth office tower in Seattle’s Central Business District.
