DENVER, CO -- JLL Capital Markets  has arranged a $66 million refinancing for 1400 Wewatta and 1401 Wynkoop, two interconnected, Class A office towers in Denver’s LoDo submarket.

 

JLL represented the borrower and operator, Crestone Partners, respectively, to secure the five-year, fixed-rate loan through an international correspondent life insurance company.

Bob Flynn
Crestone Partners was represented by Bob Flynn, Garth Tait, Dave Meares and Heidi McKernan.

 

“This very high-quality and strategically well-located office asset has historically outperformed the vast majority of our LoDo competition in occupancy, average lease rates, tenant credit quality and rate of retention at rollover,” Flynn said.

 

“JLL’s highly skilled and professional team provided us with a number of viable refinancing alternatives in an increasingly challenging debt market.”

 

 The JLL Capital Markets team representing the borrower was led by Senior Managing Director Eric Tupler and Director Kevin Barron.

Garth Tait

“1400 Wewatta and 1401 Wynkoop offer what today’s tenants are seeking; a modern office space with access to the outdoors, on-site amenities and an exceptional amenity base surrounding the property,” Tupler added.

 

“The combination of the physical real estate and location has allowed the property to greatly outperform the market.”

 

1400 Wewatta and 1401 Wynkoop offer 279,188 square feet of office space that is 94.52% leased to 13 diversified tenants.

 

In addition, there is 25,188 square feet of ground floor retail space at the property and a 467-space parking garage on the first and second floors.


Dave Meares
The two towers are connected by a third-floor community outdoor terrace and a sky bridge on the fourth floor.

 

On-site amenities include private terraces in some offices, a fitness center and secure bike storage.

 

The two-tower property is positioned on a 3.52-acre site in LoDo, directly between Union Station and the Cherry Creek Trail.

 

 In addition to the convenient train and bike trail access, 1400 Wewatta and 1401 Wynkoop are also close to Interstate 25, providing vehicular access to the broader Denver metropolitan area.

 

 Eric Tupler

LoDo is a highly amenitized neighborhood, offering a wide variety of retailers, dining options and entertainment attractions, as well as access to many nearby employers.
