13,500-sq.-ft. lease brings office building to 96 percent occupied
DENVER (June 8, 2015) – United Properties, a developer and investor with offices in Denver, has signed a lease with Rise Broadband, the nation’s largest fixed wireless broadband provider, for Rise Broadband’s new headquarters location at 61 Inverness. The 13,500-sq.-ft. lease will commence July 1. Located at 61 Inverness Drive in Inverness Business Park in southeast suburban Denver, the 87,000-sq.-ft., three-story office building is now 96 percent leased.
Rise Broadband will relocate from its nearby location at 400 Inverness Parkway. The company chose the new location because of the recent renovations to the building, move-in ready space and ample parking.
“Our new space at 61 Inverness gives us the opportunity to continue our rapid growth in the heart of the country’s telecom hub,” said Jack Koo, president and CEO, Rise Broadband. “We look forward to being located near many of the industry’s pioneers and leading corporations that have a long history in this area.”
The transaction team included: landlord broker DTZ Americas-Cassidy Turley, tenant broker New Option Realty and architect Kieding. Cushman & Wakefield/NorthMarq manages the property on behalf of United Properties.
Originally constructed in 1983, United Properties acquired 61 Inverness in March 2013 and began planning the building’s first extensive renovation. United Properties completed the renovations in 2014, including: upgrading lobbies, common areas and restrooms; finishing out suites; and refreshing the building signage and property exterior. In addition to Rise Broadband, other tenants include Computer and Communication Technologies, Inc., Centura Health Neighborhoods and Jeppesen, a subsidiary of The Boeing Company.
