"DaVita Inc. is a leading provider of dialysis services in the United States for patients suffering from chronic kidney failure, also known as end stage renal disease, or ESRD. We currently operate or provide administrative services to approximately 1400 outpatient dialysis centers located in 43 states and the District of Columbia, serving approximately 110,000 patients." (from (visit link) )

"Denver was selected to become the site for the world headquarters of DaVita, a leader in the service of kidney dialysis. The structure will be 15 stories when completed.

"It’s official… after months of speculation as to where in Downtown Denver Fortune 500 company DaVita would choose to locate their corporate headquarters, the decision is in. DaVita will locate to 2000 16th Street, the yet-to-be-constructed companion building next to the recently completed 1900 16th tower in Downtown Denver’s Union Station district.

Architecturally, the DaVita tower will not be identical to its neighbor, but it will be complementary in design to 1900 16th Street. The tower will contain approximately 270,000 square feet and will sit next to the Millennium Bridge between 1900 16th Street and the Consolidated Main Line tracks. By the time DaVita gets under construction with their tower (1st quarter 2011), the new light rail station at 17th Street and the CML will be open, so the light rail tracks that make the big curve at the DaVita site will be gone.

The project architect is MOA Architecture. The building will contain 15 stories. The ground floor will include lobby and meeting functions, followed by five levels of structured parking (approximately 240 spaces). These first six levels will attach to the existing 6-level parking structure to the south along 15th Street. Above the parking are eight floors of office and training space, topped off by a penthouse employee lounge/cafeteria with an expansive rooftop terrace." (excerpted from (visit link) )

Note: The new building is under construction. I will upload new photos once the building is completed.
