DENVER | Cherry Creek Development Thread
Since I'm the one taking most of the pictures around here, I figured we needed to have a Cherry Creek thread. Also because threads are what the Mountain West does apparently... :D
Before I get to it, can I just say, Cherry Creek is pretty much doing everything right (Condos, adding on top of parking structures, adding some serious density, etc). I don't understand why we can't be getting this stuff around Downtown Denver. The only complaint I have is the lack of solid transit to downtown, but we already know of this issue... Here are the projects: (Source for all images is DenverInfill, links on the images, along with title links, will link back to the post) Under Construction 88 Steele Creek 12-stories | 250 Apartment Units http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...kRendering.jpg Progress as of January (more coming this week) http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...leCreek-05.jpg Under Construction 250 Columbine 8-stories | 70,000 sq ft Office | 80 Condo Units http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...ndering-02.jpg http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...ndering-01.jpg Progress as of May http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...lumbine-02.jpg Under Construction 100 Saint Paul 8-stories | 149,000 sq ft Office http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...ndering-01.jpg Progress as of February http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...intPaul-01.jpg Under Construction Adolph Coors Foudation 3-stories | 18,750 sq ft Office http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...lRendering.jpg Progress as of January http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...ndation-02.jpg Under Construction The Residences at Fillmore Plaza 3-stories on top of existing 5-story structure | 26 Apartment Units http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...Rendering1.jpg Progress as of May http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...idences-02.jpg Under Construction 360 South Monroe 8-stories | 297 Apartment Units http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...-elevation.jpg Progress as of March http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...oe-Site-02.jpg Proposed 1st and Steele Apartments 12-stories | 185 Apartment Units http://denverinfill.com/blog/wp-cont...ndering-01.jpg |
Cherry Creek is really amazing right now!
I wonder how long it will be before that "old-fashioned" mall gets ripped down and developers build something more urban. Maybe re-claim the street grid and actually activate the creek! (I give it 10 years.) |
Ooooo Very cool stuff! I'm jealous! :tup:
Might have to come on over and snatch those condos. |

Now, if you're talking about the strip mall to the west of the Cherry Creek Mall, that thing is overdue for a massive redevelopment. It's basically the land-bank for Cherry Creek. |
Yeah, that "old-fashioned" mall has some of the highest per square-foot sales numbers around. That thing is a gold mine, and you don't redevelop what ain't broke.
Not to say I wouldn't love to get my hands on that redevelopment project. Yum. It's just hard to see it penciling against the current. |
The whole trend of disappearing malls basically doesn't apply to the 2 or 3 most profitable ones in each city, with truly regional reach. What's disappearing are the more local ones, that only people within a few miles ever visit. So Cherry Creek isn't going anywhere.
That said, it is a little surprising there aren't luxury high-rises sticking out from atop the mall. Cherry Creek's height limit must be too short to make it worthwhile. |

Only problem there would be construction access to those garages...maybe the one at the east along Steele wouldn't be too bad, but the one at the south and west would be tough to do anything with. Plus, structural retrofit to place additional levels, if it hasn't been designed for it initially, is a costly and very intrusive process usually. Not saying it can't be done, but it's not as easy as it sounds. One would have to think that the small strip mall to the east of the mall would be the first to be redeveloped, that area seems vastly underutilized. |
Dear Salt Lake City and Developers
Take Notes of this development :yes: From, A guy who wants to see less 4-5 stories housing and more 12+ story housing. :tup: |

Cherry Creek Mall itself is zoned B-3 and it does permit pretty much all types of residential...

I could see better connectivity to the CKN or some sort of outdoor shopping added on, like they did to Park Meadows. |

100 Saint Paul is making quite the progress. It's pretty much 'bottomed out' and has a shiny red tower crane bringing the SEVENTH tower crane to the neighborhood. It may not be Toronto status but it's damn impressive for Cherry Creek.

There is also the 7 story hotel at 245 Columbine that was formerly an office proposal. Any renderings for that one? I think it starts this fall.

There really isn't any reason to try to duplicate what CC has Downtown.. especially not for stores that just aren't going to have two locations in 2 miles in a city like Denver (Cartier, LV, Tiffany etc.). With the fill happening slowly along Speer now, Downtown to Cherry Creek is going to look like the same skyline soon enough anyway. Might as well plan/change zoning to accommodate more height in that direction. What we are seeing in CC (the only direction left to go is up) is what we all keep saying/hoping will happen in Downtown after the transit stations near but not at all a part of Union Station and their associated development will eventually force in that area. |
