The Denver Technological Center is a business and economic trading center that is home to several major businesses and corporations, including the 10-story Banner Building. In an effort to enhance the building’s attractiveness to potential tenants and maximize convenient parking, the owners commissioned the design of a three-level parking structure. The 426-space structure was conceived, designed and constructed in less than six months.
