As one of the leading owners of Class A office properties, Brandywine Realty Trust continues to expand its footprint in Austin, arriving downtown with a striking addition to the city's skyline, known currently as 405 Colorado. 405 Colorado provides a seamless transition from Austin's vibrant downtown street life outside to an inspiring and creative work environment inside. 405 Colorado's sculptural design features glass-enclosed office levels atop a warm earth-toned masonry base of parking. The tower presents a dynamic image from every direction. Yet, its soul is in the two levels of outdoor spaces, the street-level entry, and the Sky Lounge, where the tower opens itself to Austin's exciting and active urban lifestyle. The Sky Lounge seamlessly unfolds inviting living room environments mixed with functional workspaces with a thoughtful, modern design. Outdoor terraces, semi-permeable lounge spaces, a concierge, a café and bar, and a fitness and conference center greet those working in or visiting the office tower. Accessibility and parking are uncommon features for downtown buildings in Austin. 405 Colorado boasts an above-market parking ratio of 2.6/1,000-SF, making it one of the easiest places to park in Austin's thriving entertainment and work districts. Beneath 405 Colorado's signature profile and generous sidewalks shape an inviting and active pedestrian zone. Natural elements, including wood and masonry, and features such as public art, ample seating areas, and shade trees welcome street life into the building. The neighboring warehouse district's character inspired a more modern approach to materiality, which reflects the new urban purposes of commercial, residential, and retail.
