/ BUILDING DIALOGUE / SEPTEMBER 2015
T
he word “innovate” is described by the
Oxford Dictionary as “to make changes
in something established, especially by
introducing new methods, ideas, or products.”
This is an especially apt description for INOVA
Dry Creek, the Denver area’s newest and most in-
ventive premier mixed-use office, hotel and resi-
dential campus that is being developed by United
Properties along with Principal Real Estate Investors,
which is an equity partner on the project. INOVA,
short for innovate, provides a high-value, cost-ef-
fective, smart, sustainable and efficient new office
campus in Denver’s southeast suburban submarket,
while offering significant competitive advantages to
creative and technological tenants in the market.
Formerly Dry Creek Corporate Center, INOVA offers
excellent access in a prime in-fill location partnered
with pioneering construction techniques and premi-
um materials to create a crisp, clean and contempo-
rary environment at value pricing. The seven-build-
ing planned business park will offer over 850,000
square feet of inventive mixed-use property, as well
as multifamily and hospitality uses. Current plans
accommodate up to five additional buildings, with
at least three offering multistory office, one indus-
trial/flex asset with 24-foot clear heights, as well as
over 650,000 square feet of single- and multitenant
occupancy, with flexible floor plates to accommodate
campus users from 30,000 to 200,000 square feet.
Designed by award-winning Powers Brown Archi-
tecture and brand development by Richard A. Foy De-
sign, INOVA is scheduled to break ground this month
on the first building – a five-story, 220,000-square-
foot multitenant speculative office asset. Located in
the city of Centennial at 7250 Havana St., the building
will feature state-of-the-art construction, LEED Silver
certification, column-free, flexible floor plates, and
starting lease rates under $20 per square foot, triple
net – offering the most competitive rates for Class A
available in the SES market.
Utilizing tilt-up construction, INOVA provides an
efficient and flexible work space offering traditional
Class A amenities while still providing a value office
product in the increasingly in-demand submarket
– and literally elevating office product in the metro-
politan area. Tilt-up construction is a less expensive
product to create yet through creative spacing and
leading, an increased floor-plate geometry is created
that provides great efficiencies in tenant occupation.
“While INOVA is not the first value office product
in the SES, it is the most innovative,” explains Jeffery
Brown, AIA, founding partner and design principal at
Powers Brown Architecture. “Our research into tilt-up
construction merged with the classic DNA of tradi-
tional construction allows ownership to develop val-
ue office product with genuine Class A amenities and
finishings – a true market changer.”
For example, the construction at INOVA contains
no perimeter columns or outside obstructions, al-
lowing for up to four additional workspaces in each
corner. Additionally, the slab is bigger, allowing for
innovative geometry in terms of tenant occupation.
Another dramatic difference is the 25 feet of unin-
terrupted glass line on the first four floors, and an
