PNC Realty Investors Inc., on behalf of the AFL-CIO Building Investment Trust, was the buyer. Brookfield retained 49 percent interest in the asset. The 1.3 million-square-foot building is valued at approxi- mately $560 million. The acquisition price for the office space equated to about $426 per sf. At 54 stories, 1801 California is Denver’s second-tallest, and second-largest, office tower downtown, behind Republic Plaza. It was built in 1983. Brookfield bought the build- ing, the former Qwest’s world headquarters, for $215 million in late 2011. It spent in excess of $50 million transforming it into a Class AA building at a time when no new office buildings were under con- struction in downtown Den- ver. The building features an impressive plaza entry with a two-story lobby finished in Italian marble and floor-to- ceiling glass. Large blocks of space that CenturyLink vacated follow- ing its merger with Qwest have been leased up, bring- ing the building to 95 percent occupancy. Tenants at 1801 California include Transam- erica, which occupies about 149,000 sf; SendGrid, an approximately 108,000-sf ten- ant; Molson Coors, which has 90,000 sf; and Healthgrades, which occupies approximately 85,000 sf. Guard and Grace restaurant, with a large out- door patio at the plaza entry, and Ink! Coffee are on the first level. Located between 18th and 19th, and California and Stout streets, the LEED Gold build- ing has light-rail stops on Cali- fornia and Stout, as well as a designated Free MetroRide stop. Mike Winn, Tim Richey, Chad Flynn and Jenny Knowl- ton of CBRE’s Capital Mar- kets, Institutional Properties Team in Denver handled the sale of 1801 California.
