Fertility Clinic Signs 15-Year Lease at Denver's 1900 Lawrence Tower in Latest Office Deal
Bisnow · 11 September 2026
TL;DR
Spring Fertility has signed a 15-year lease for approximately 13,000 square feet at 1900 Lawrence St., a 30-storey, 720,000 sq ft office tower that opened in Denver in 2024. The San Francisco-based fertility provider will use the space for clinical care, an ambulatory surgery centre, an embryology laboratory, and cryostorage. This marks Spring Fertility's first Colorado location, expanding its footprint beyond California, Oregon, and New York. Elsewhere in Denver, the Colorado Community College System is seeking a master developer for the 145-acre Lowry Campus mixed-use redevelopment, with proposals due 16 November. Architecture firm Galloway & Co. also acquired Indiana-based Hafer, adding 70 staff to its 530-person team.
Our take
This Denver deal sheet is primarily relevant to commercial property professionals and investors rather than South African residential readers — but it carries a few transferable signals worth noting. First, the Spring Fertility lease illustrates a trend gaining traction globally, including in South African urban nodes like Sandton, Rosebank, and the Cape Town CBD: healthcare and life-sciences tenants are increasingly filling office vacancies that traditional corporate tenants have vacated. For SA landlords sitting on underperforming B-grade office stock, medical and specialist clinical tenants offer long lease terms (15 years here) and stable, needs-driven demand — a meaningful hedge against the hybrid-work headwinds still pressuring office occupancy. Second, the Lowry Campus mixed-use redevelopment tender mirrors what we are seeing at several large South African precinct plays — think Waterfall City or the Lanseria Smart City concept — where educational or government-owned land is unlocked through private master-developer partnerships. For SA commercial property investors and developers, the takeaway is straightforward: diversifying tenant mix toward healthcare, education, and food-and-beverage operators can stabilise income and extend weighted average lease expiry on office assets that might otherwise struggle to attract conventional corporate tenants.
