In December 2005 Steven Holl Architects, in collaboration with klipp Architecture of Denver, was selected to design the Denver Justice Center Courthouse. The $99 million, 335,000 s.f. courthouse project will be the centerpiece of the city's downtown Justice Center, which will also include a new post office, a new detention center, and a renovated county jail. Steven Holl Architects was chosen from a shortlist of firms that included Foster and Partners, Richard Meier & Partners Architects, and Kallmann, McKinnell. The new Denver Justice Center Courthouse will be located on West Colfax Avenue between Delaware and Fox Streets, in an area of Denver known as the Golden Triangle. The courthouse building is programmed to accommodate the County and District criminal and juvenile courts and will include 35 jury courtrooms. The project is part of an overall Urban Design Master Plan intended to emphasize and expand Denver's Civic Center as the urban centerpiece of the community.
