The Blue Rondo Tower was originally designed as a new office building located at 14th and Lawrence Streets in Downtown Denver. The building was planned for 250,000 sf of office, ground floor retail, and 400 parking spaces.
The architecture is a sculptural form of blue glass and dark granite. A vertical fin is used to mark the building and lobby from the vehicular and pedestrian perspectives. The ‘supergrid’ on the building façade is fragmented by the addition of vertical mullion accent fins. The form allows for the sky exposure requirements, as dictated by the City. It also creates large footprints on the upper floors to maximize views and leasable area.
The site was sold and the developer has since changed the project to a new location in Lower Downtown Denver. It is currently being redesigned with a similar program for the new site.
