Parikh Stevens Architects and Landworks Design today said they will relocate their headquarters to TAXI, the mixed-use development in downtown Denver’s River North neighborhood.

The two firms join Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture and Studio INSITE, LLC as the most recent design businesses to purchase office space at TAXI.

The TAXI project, north of Coors Field on the South Platte River at 3455 Ringsby Court, was the former headquarters site for the Yellow Taxi Co., before Mickey Zeppelin, of Zeppelin Development, took it over.

Parikh Stevens Architects purchased 1,355 square feet of space and will move into their new offices in May. Landworks Design purchased 3,088 square feet of space and also will move into their space in May. Barker Rinker Seacat Architects previously announced that it had purchased 10,730 square feet of space and will move into it next spring. In addition, Studio INSITE has purchased 3,391 square feet and will move in this coming spring as well.

Kyle Zeppelin, son of the veteran developer, Mickey, said he is "gratified that TAXI is becoming a destination for architects, landscape architects and designers. They will be wonderful additions to the creative and high-tech tenants occupying TAXI’s first phase.

Zeppelin development had three nationally known architects collaborate on the 65,000-square-foot second phase of TAXI.

"Our decision to invite three nationally prominent architects to collaborate on Phase 2, is resonating with Denver’s creative businesses," Zeppelin said. "Our new flex-office space is over 60 percent sold or leased, and half of our residences are under contract. They share our vision for the opportunities of River North."

When the 15-acre TAXI development is completed, it will have more than 300,000 square feet of space in downtown Denver’s largest office building.
