60,000SF Build-to-Suit Office Planned at 500-Acre Mixed-Use Project in Aurora
July 25, 2008

Development and construction firm Lauth has formed a joint venture with Lend Lease Communities to erect a 60,000-square-foot office building at Horizon Uptown, a 500-acre mixed-use development in Aurora, about 15 miles from Denver, Colo. Located within close proximity to Denver International Airport and Buckley Air Force Base, Horizon Uptown will ultimately encompass as much as 4 million square feet of office space, 1.3 million square feet of retail and 3,800 residential units. The three-story build-to-suit structure by Lauth and Lend Lease will occupy a five-acre parcel within the sprawling development and, adhering to Horizon Uptown's sustainable development mandate, will be an environmentally friendly facility, designed to achieve no less than LEED Gold certification. Design and permitting activities are on target to commence once the building reaches pre-leasing commitments for 30 percent of the building. .
