One Union Station fully leased before completion

Four new tenants have signed leases at One Union Station at 16th and Wynkoop streets.

The tenants include a FirstBank branch; the popular Boulder restaurant Zoe Ma Ma; and two national restaurant concepts expanding into Denver -- the health, quick-serve restaurant company Protein Bar and The Thirsty Lion Pub, a gastropub that combines the traditional values of American- and European-style pubs.

"Denver’s Union Station Neighborhood is going to transform Denver’s landscape, so it’s not surprising that One Union Station was the first speculative office building in downtown Denver’s history to be fully leased before the completion of construction," says Chris Frampton, Managing Partner of East West Partners, which is developing the 110,000-square-foot building with Starwood Capital Partners. "These businesses will bring a new level of vibrancy to the neighborhood and will be the beneficiaries of the prime location that will ultimately be the epicenter of activity, commerce and growth in the city of Denver."

Antero Resources will occupy the top three floors of the five-story building, which will be completed next May.

Zoe Ma Ma is a quick-service Chinese restaurant, which uses cage-free eggs, organic flour, MSG-free ingredients, recyclable containers and renewable energy.

"I think Zoe Ma Ma and Union Station redevelopment project is a great partnership as we both strive to maintain our heritage while moving into the future with care for the environment," says Edwin Zoe, CEO of the restaurant.
