Arc 470 - Highlands Ranch

PROJECT OVERVIEW

This is a Class-A office campus, revitalizing three six-story buildings transforming lobbies, corridors, amenity areas, fitness spaces, and common restrooms into vibrant, wellness-oriented environments.

The design integrates warm textures and natural palettes inspired by Colorado’s landscapes and landmarks—stone, wood, and earthy tones that ground the interiors in a strong sense of place.

Upgraded fitness and amenity zones, paired with modernized infrastructure and sustainability strategies, position the campus as a contemporary workplace aligned with FitWel standards and tenant expectations.

8742 LOBBY - BUILDING 2

Conceived as a hospitality-caliber gathering space, the 8742 lobby features a clear arrival sequence, a double-height volume, and controlled sightlines to reception.

Diamond-polished concrete floors establish a refined industrial base, contrasted by warm wood accents at the reception desk and ceiling elements.

The stair, articulated as a rammed-earth wall, becomes a sculptural anchor, while wood ceiling tongues extend into corridors to signal transitions.

Specialty lighting highlights the security desk, and acoustical panels form artful moments in circulation nooks.

Custom built-in benches and flexible lounge seating support both informal meetings and quiet respite, shaping the lobby as a sophisticated entry and social commons.

8744 LOBBY - BUILDING 3

The lobbies of 8742 and 8744 share a cohesive design language of polished concrete floors, warm wood accents, and integrated lighting that elevates arrival and circulation.

While 8742 is defined by its double-height volume and sculptural stair, 8744 offers a more intimate one-story experience that connects directly to its amenity suite.

The tenant lounge doubles as a wellness retreat, conceived as a sanctuary for tenants and a peaceful respite from the office environment.

Circulation is punctuated with ceiling details, while the building core was completely reimagined to integrate modern MEP systems.

8744 AMENITIES - BUIDLING 3

Amenities extend the sophistication of the lobby. The fitness center features high-end equipment and premium finishes, creating a health-focused environment of exceptional quality.

The conference center combines an executive meeting room with a flexible large hall, complete with operable walls and advanced technology.

Restrooms are designed as high-end yet serene spaces, balancing refinement with comfort, and bike storage underscores a commitment to wellness and sustainable mobility.

Together, these elements reinforce 8744 as a workplace centered on health, flexibility, and tenant experience.

EXTERIOR UPGRADES

The building exteriors were revitalized with refreshed façades, refined entries, and updated finishes, creating a stronger campus identity and improved curb appeal.

Site and landscape enhancements strengthen pedestrian flow and connections, while a new rooftop screen for the mechanical penthouse conceals equipment and contributes to a clean, cohesive architectural profile
