office complex in Denver, Colorado
Denver Place is an office and retail complex in the central business district of Denver, Colorado. The property contains over 1 million square feet of space and occupies an entire city block.

It is composed of the South Tower (34 stories and 416 feet (127 m) tall), North Tower (23 stories and 285 feet (87 m) tall), North Terrace (7 stories), and South Terrace (7 stories). The two towers are elongated hexagons made of silver gray aluminum panels contrasted by dark gray reflective glass. They sit diagonally from one another, connected by the Terraces to create a single structure which also has a bridge leading to the Ritz Carlton and Denver Place Apartments (also owned by Plant Holdings North America, Inc.). At the street level is a retail mall. The building has won many awards including the 2005 Denver Metro Building Owners And Managers Association Building of the Year Award in the Earth Award category and the Gold LEED-EB Label for its green design.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Denver Place” as office complex in Denver, Colorado. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as office complex in Denver, Colorado. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 11, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5259769. Authority coordinates are 39.749, -104.992. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1981 and 2005.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
