Months after the dissolution of Denver law firm Moye White, a deal has been reached on its RiNo office space.
Fennemore, the Phoenix-based law firm that hired the bulk of Moye White’s attorneys, has leased 35,000 of the approximately 42,500 square feet that Moye White had occupied at The Current, at 3615 Delgany St.
Fennemore has already moved into the space, and plans to move workers who have been based at its other Denver office in the Wells Fargo Center — which it established before the Moye White hirings — by September.
Fennemore occupies 12,000 square feet in Wells Fargo with a lease that runs through 2027. A Fennemore spokesperson said the company is “exploring sublease options.”
“Our firm is entering an exciting chapter as we come together in RiNo,” Fennemore CEO James Goodnow said in a statement. “Our new location at The Current places us at the heart of one of Denver’s most creative and vibrant neighborhoods, which fits seamlessly with our culture of growth and innovation.”
Moye White was the first major law firm to move to RiNo. It signed a lease at the 12-story Current, which was developed by Seattle-based Schnitzer West, while the building was still under construction. Moye White moved in last year.
But what would happen to its space there was an unanswered question as the firm dissolved in April. While Fennemore hired the 50 Moye White attorneys — a handful also went to Frost Brown Todd and Lewis Roca — it did not acquire the firm, and thus did not automatically take over the company’s lease.
Fennemore’s lease is for seven years, expiring in July 2031, according to the firm.
“The Fennemore lease was executed at similar terms and conditions to the Moye White lease,” Kyle Flippen, Schnitzer West investment director, told BusinessDen.
Flippen said the Moye White rooftop signage on the building will be replaced with Fennemore signage. As for the 7,500 square feet of Moye White space that Fennemore isn’t taking, “we are actively marketing the space for lease,” he said.
Other tenants at The Current are InBank and accounting firm Wipfli.
