Paradigm River North is a new, eight-story Class AA office development with ground-floor retail at 3400 Walnut Street in the heart of Denver, Colorado’s vibrant River North (RiNo) Art District. The building’s bay windows and oversized industrial-style windows are informed by the surrounding context of the neighborhood and provide plentiful natural daylight, mountain and skyline views and generous connections to the outdoors.
