One Fillmore Place

When a 20-year tenant vacated this former 1960s-era department store, it created an opportunity to re-imagine what the windowless, stucco box property could become. Deftly repositioning the four-story building’s core and shell and re-cladding its skin, designers met the challenge of creating a presence above the street while not distracting from the prime street-level retail. Utilizing the new design package as a marketing tool to attract national retailers, the building was 100-percent leased three months prior to completion and at nearly double the lease rates. A transformed One Fillmore Place not only fills a void in the community’s pedestrian streetscape, it establishes an iconic, retail beacon that invites shoppers into the upscale Cherry Creek North shopping district.
