A Cab Childress-designed three-story brick commercial building, completed in 1974, occupying a 0.51-acre C-MX-12 parcel at one of Jefferson Park's most visible corners. This is a property for the principal who wants a signature Denver address with architectural character, real building bones, and the long-term optionality of a central-city development parcel that carries twelve stories of by-right entitlement.

The building is not a generic office box. Cab Childress was a working Denver architect whose portfolio shaped mid-century and 1970s commercial and civic buildings across the Front Range. The structure he delivered here is three stories of brick over a small basement, organized around two main working floors with dual-stair circulation at opposing ends and a smaller penthouse-level element above. HVAC and roof were updated in 2022. The configuration reads as a signature headquarters building rather than tenant-ready speculative office — interior volumes, east-facing exposure, and architectural language all supporting an owner-user principal who wants a building that makes a statement.

The zoning widens the field considerably. C-MX-12 is one of Denver's most permissive mixed-use designations, supporting a range of uses well beyond conventional office. Approved and conditional uses include event venues, private schools, daycare and early childhood centers, fitness and wellness studios, medical and veterinary practices, creative office and production studios, worship spaces, and house-of-cuisine or culinary concepts. The practical effect: the building can be reimagined by almost any principal with a clear vision — a flagship yoga and wellness destination, a culinary incubator or chef-driven restaurant group headquarters, a private school or early-childhood campus, a medical or specialty clinic, a film or photography production studio, a design firm or creative agency flagship, a family office, or a boutique operator building a signature Denver headquarters.
Location is the amplifier. The property sits a seven-block walk from Empower Field at Mile High, three blocks from LoHi, with unobstructed eastern exposure over Interstate 25 to the downtown Denver skyline. Alcott Street itself is quiet and pedestrian-scaled, giving the building a rare duality — high-visibility skyline frontage on one side, intimate neighborhood character on the other. Jefferson Park is one of the most dynamic central Denver neighborhoods, with a maturing restaurant and retail base, a walk-up demographic defined by median household incomes above $121,000 and high educational attainment, and sustained residential investment.

This corner sits on the precipice of transformation. Three of the most significant urban redevelopment projects in Denver's modern history are converging within walking distance — the Empower Field at Mile High stadium district planning, the Ball Arena and Elitch Gardens redevelopment, and The River Mile, a multi-decade reimagining of the South Platte corridor into one of the largest urban infill developments in the country. A buyer stepping in now is positioning ahead of value creation that the broader market has not yet fully priced. The owner who holds this corner through that transformation owns an appreciating asset as much as an operating building.

The optionality is the backstop. The same 0.51-acre site is zoned C-MX-12 and permits twelve stories by-right. Current ownership has advanced a 162-unit residential concept with Presence Design Group, publicly reported in Denverite in January 2024 — not entitled, but a meaningful head start down the path toward entitlement. A patient owner operating from the existing building owns not only a headquarters but a central Denver development position.
