The 299,000+/- SF building was certified LEED Silver in 2019.
 
The retail/office buildings are approx. 21,000 SF (4 free standing buildings) directly across a shared parking lot.  The north endcap of the northern most building has 2,589 SF dedicated to restaurant use, with over 800 square feet of outdoor patio space.  

Durango 215 Point is a two story tilt-up office building designed for a single-tenant or multiple-tenant fit-out. The building is sited to provide freeway frontage and visibility with the main entrance facing the adjacent freeway. The plan is a simple rectangle to maximize the site coverage, building efficiency and construction cost. A consistent and standard structural grid is maintained throughout the plan with a central core for restrooms, circulation, service and elevator. The exterior is designed with subtly layered two story concrete panels with a three-color palette to reduce the massing of the rectangular plan of the building. A separate concrete panel portal recessed in a two story glass curtain wall emphasizes the main entry at the south elevation. The north elevation is designed to allow additional glazing in pre-designated knock-out panels, depending on the tenants’ needs. The north side also features dock access and grade level access doors. The wall panels are standardized to interface with the structural grid and simplify the glazing storefront glazing system.
