RIGHT + BOTTOM Kiewit Corp. is designing, developing and delivering a next-level corporate campus initiated by a five-story, 250,000-sf smart building accompanied by a 1,000-stall parking structure. Phase II anticipates another 150,000-sf office building with space onsite for additional growth in the future. Coined Market Station, the redevelopment plan for the bus terminal and street-level plaza prominently includes 95,000 square feet of Class A office space, 82,000 sf of street- grade retail, a 225-unit residential community and 320 me- chanically stacked parking spaces with valet service. The design takes root in a thoughtful integration of massing, material textures and fenestration taking cues from the surrounding historic and commercial contexts. The center- piece of the site, which is coming to market in the fall, will be an interstitial paseo linking multiple points of public access through the vibrant retail hub. Kiewit was also a key figure in the redevelopment of the former University of Colorado Health Sciences Center site at East Ninth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard in Den- ver. Another Continuum Partners’ project, 9+CO spans 26 acres spread over five city blocks where Kiewit completed a combined 585,000 sf of office, retail and entertainment on blocks 2, 4 and 5 in 2018.
