Galvanize, perhaps the premier startup co-working space in the city, is expanding to a second location.
The new Galvanize campus will be at 1644 Platte St., about three miles from its first building, at 1062 Delaware St.
Unlike the original, which occupies a remodeled space, Galvanize 2 will be built from the ground up.
The new, four-story building is expected to feature 78,000 square feet of workspace, more than double the size of the original location, Galvanize co-founder and tech veteran Jim Deters said Monday night at a Denver Startup Week event.
Deters is scheduled to officially unveil the second Galvanize location at a Denver Startup Week event Wednesday evening.
When Deters launched Galvanize a year ago at the inaugural Denver Startup Week, civic leaders hailed it as a crucial piece of the city’s efforts to grow its entrepreneurial community.
“We think the work that Galvanize is doing is just absolutely critical,” Paul Washington, executive director of Denver’s economic-development office, said then. “It makes Denver a more attractive place to work for the 21st-century employee.”
