DENVER | Downtown high-rise boom

[seventwenty]

Some rundown overview images:

The interesting part about that overview is that only three of the projects: 1401 Lawrence, 16 Chestnut, and The Confluence are in the planning stage. All of the other projects are under construction.

But there's a serious dearth of new proposals in the pipeline.

You make a good point: I need to distinguish proposals from under-construction. Easy enough, really. I'll fix it in the updates.

It was a long rumored project that has recently been submitted to the city.

rds70 broke the news in the main Denver Development thread last week.

I bet there going to build 3 more Skyhouses there just like they did in Atlanta.Same designs different crowns on top of them that looks super similiar.

[Jdawgboy]

Another Skyhouse with the same design. We have one here in Austin. I'm not big on the idea of cookie cutter highrises. I understand the cost effectiveness behind it but if cities start to get the same exact buildings, there won't be any uniqueness. There's so many Skyhouses around, it seems before too long there will be a Skyhouse in every city.

Austin got lucky with Novare's 360 tower. If it wasn't for the Capitol View Corridor that goes over part of the lot causing them to build up to 44 stories, it would have been an exact replica of the 26 story one in Atlanta.


By the way, Denver has a lot of great projects going up. First time posting in this thread.

[ATLskyline]

What are the nicest looking residential towers (around 20 floors) in Denver?

[Scottk]

hmmm around 20 floors?

The 21 story platform is under construction, and should look great when finished! http://www.platformatunionstation.com/

I also really like the glass house. http://www.hometodenver.com/Images/Glass_House7.jpg


For taller residential towers, the four seasons, Spire, and One Lincoln Park are all pretty nice looking

[comoneymaker]

Dang we really need an update here lol

[Scottk]

Wow Denver! We are slacking on this thread!!!

All of the Denver development discussion is kept in the Denver thread in the mountain west sub forum, for anyone who is looking for the real thread!!

With that said:

The 25 story sky house denver has begun construction.
The 22 story Hyatt is close to topping out!
A tower crane recently arrived at the construction site for the 21 floor 1401 Lawrence.
Excavation work at the 34 story confluence building has begun!!!

The massive 1115 15th street project is expected to begin in May.

And hundreds of projects under 12 stories are currently under construction

The 16 of 23 which are bolded actually have documentation currently filed with the city's building department, well on the process for getting city approval to get the projects climbing. Also, one source has claimed that Skyhouse Denver is now Under Construction.

Other projects kicking around within the City and County of Denver, that are not listed in the SP database here, but either with announcement by a developer/investor or filed with the city's building department include:

Developer/investor announcements:

TheART Hotel - 9 Stories - 121 feet tall - Under Construction

http://denverinfill.com/blog/2015/01...-update-5.html

Le Meridien/AC Hotels 21 stories - Proposed

http://denverinfill.com/blog/2014/12...ac-hotels.html

The below list is of potential highrises (35M or more or 12 stories or more) currently filed with city's building department. Some of these may not end up being highrises since modifications could still happen, but at least at this time they appear to be such. Also, most do not even have illustrations or rough sketches available yet.

1. 2475 W 26th Ave 2014D00179 2475 W 26th Ave new 12 story mixed use

2. Belleview Staion Block B 2014D00013 6850 E Chenango Ave 325 units with ground floor retail Mixed-Use T-MU-30

5. DHHA Office and Retail 2014D00332 601 Broadway Office/ Retail Commercial C-MX-16
(lot zoned for up to 16 stories)

http://www.bizjournals.com/denver/bl....html?page=all

6. Kistler Building 2014D00214 Mixed-Use Mixed-Use D-C

http://www.historicdenver.org/progra...tler-building/

Other areas of possible highrise development within Denver proper include The Design District, the Gates redevelopment area, Stapleton, St. Anthony's (or Sloans Lake area) redevelopment district, the 9th and Colorado area (formerly CU medical center) and Belleview Station.

With all of the above, if anyone wants to place illustrations/images with these, please feel free. Also, please feel free (or not) to add whatever I may have overlooked here.

Otherwise, this is basically a rundown of the current Denver highrise development situation. And even though this is basically all black-and-white here, is this enough of an update?
