DENVER, CO (March 29, 2019) – Office workspace leader WeWork has committed to a long-term, full building lease at Junction 23, a creative office redevelopment by EverWest Real Estate Investors, WHI Real Estate Partners L.P. and George Oliver Companies, in Denver’s booming River North (RiNo) District.

Located at 2323 Delgany Street, Junction 23 is the culmination of an extensive 12-month building renovation that repositioned a 1975-built property into an innovative, 86,127-square-foot creative office redevelopment in the heart of Denver’s quickly emerging urban live-work-play environment encompassing the downtown, RiNo and Lower Downtown (LoDo) neighborhoods.

This includes 16-foot windows, 25-foot exposed ceilings, more than two dozen skylights and energy-efficient LED lighting.

Laura Sperry

 The building’s indoor-outdoor concept features modern conference rooms, small group breakout areas and roll-up garage doors that connect to a center atrium and outdoor meeting spaces.

Junction 23 also offers an on-site fitness center with showers and locker rooms, on-site bike storage and direct access to the adjacent Millar E.B. Coffee Co., where employees and visitors can gather for work and relaxation.

Jamie Gard

Junction 23 is situated at the corner of Park Avenue and Delgany Street, within walking distance to Denver’s central business district, LoDo neighborhood, Union Station and dozens of restaurants and retailers, and a short drive to I-25 and Denver International Airport.
