Denver Cherry Creek Project Features Innovative View Dynamic Glass to Enhance Occupant Comfort and Productivity

Schnitzer West Forms Joint Venture with J.P. Morgan Asset Management to Develop Civica Cherry Creek in Denver   

Schnitzer West, one of the West Coast’s fastest growing real estate investment, development and property management companies, today announced that it has formed a joint venture with institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management to develop Civica Cherry Creek, a seven‐story boutique office building in Denver, Colorado.

Located in the Cherry Creek North neighborhood of Denver, Civica Cherry Creek will feature 100,500 square feet of office space and 11,500 square feet of retail atop a four‐story underground parking garage. 

The office building was designed to create a premier workplace experience and will feature Schnitzer West’s signature “Great Room” concept as well as an expansive rooftop patio that offers spectacular views. 

The building will also feature View Dynamic Glass from View Inc. that brings a new level of sustainability, unobstructed views and elimination of blinds, all while enhancing occupant comfort and productivity. The project broke ground in July 2016 and is scheduled for completion in December 2017.

“Civica Cherry Creek is truly a next‐generation office building, and we’re confident that it will introduce a new level of functionality and service that will redefine tenant expectations in the Denver marketplace,” said Doug Zabel, managing partner at Schnitzer West. “We are very excited to partner with J.P. Morgan Asset Management on this investment to deliver this innovative project to the market.”

Civica Cherry Creek is strategically located in one of Denver’s most sought after neighborhoods with plenty of worldclass walkable amenities, including 56 bars and restaurants, four hotels and three parks. 

The building will also offer tenants a variety of on‐site amenities such as a rooftop terrace with outdoor meeting space, a private upscale library, five‐star concierge service, a state‐of‐the‐art conference center, an outdoor lounge at street level and best‐in‐class locker rooms.

“Denver is considered one of the best cities to live in the U.S. and has a very strong and dynamic job market, which in turn has led to a thriving commercial real estate market,” said Hien Le, executive director at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. 

“Civica Cherry Creek’s ideal location combined with Schnitzer West’s innovative design and proven track record of developing best‐in‐class commercial projects makes this a very attractive investment for our team. We’re excited to partner with Schnitzer to bring this development to market.”

“We are excited that View Dynamic Glass is being incorporated in Civica Cherry Creek. With over 200 installations in North America with delighted occupants, View is transforming the built environment,” said Dr. Rao Mulpuri, CEO of View Inc. 

“As Schnitzer West and J.P. Morgan continue to develop projects, we look forward to working together to create the most comfortable and sustainable buildings.”
