Monfort Companies has traded its Ballpark-area digs for a serious skyline upgrade, officially opening its new headquarters at 1900 Lawrence in downtown Denver. The firm has left its Blake Street office near Coors Field for Suite 1930 in the new tower, hosting an open house this month as staff settle into the space.
Inside, the new office leans into both Western roots and sports-town pride, with baseball-glove leather chairs, a taxidermied longhorn and a branded lobby sign all on display in a recent photo, according to the Denver Business Journal. The look mirrors the company’s growing hospitality footprint around Denver.
In a LinkedIn post, Monfort Companies celebrated Suite 1930 as its new home. The building’s developer says Monfort inked a 10-year lease for the space. Riverside Investment & Development quoted Kenneth Monfort saying, "We wanted a space that could grow with us while keeping us anchored in the center of the city," and noted that Projex will guide the interior design and furniture selection. Riverside also points out that 1900 Lawrence sits just two blocks from Monfort’s former Ballpark-area office near Coors Field, keeping the company firmly in its home turf.
Inside 1900 Lawrence
1900 Lawrence is a newly completed, 30-story Class A tower with roughly 700,000 square feet of office space and a long list of tenant amenities. The building’s official site highlights a fitness center, high-end locker rooms, multiple indoor-outdoor lounges, rooftop pickleball courts, a golf simulator and the Mile High Terrace with Front Range views, all marketed as part of an upgraded workplace experience, per the 1900 Lawrence site.
Why the move matters for downtown
The relocation lands in the middle of a downtown market still wrestling with high vacancy. BusinessDen reports downtown vacancy north of 30 percent, so a decade-long lease in a new trophy tower carries extra symbolic weight. Monfort’s long-term commitment is exactly the kind of private-sector bet that developers say can help stabilize leasing momentum in the core.
Monfort has been steadily broadening its Denver footprint while expanding into investment management. The firm launched Monfort Investment Corp. in June 2024, the company said in a press release on Monfort Companies, and it has been pursuing hospitality and mixed-use projects in LoDo and the Ballpark. Coverage of the group’s work on concepts such as Riot House, Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row and discussions over the future of the El Chapultepec site shows how the new headquarters slots into a broader downtown strategy, as reported by Axios.
Riverside Investment & Development added that Monfort "will be right at home in 1900 Lawrence," and the company spotlighted Suite 1930’s nods to its heritage in social posts celebrating the open house on LinkedIn. Whether this move nudges other tenants back into downtown remains to be seen, but Monfort’s new office functions as a very visible vote of confidence in Denver’s city center.
