8/13/14 - The Broe Group of Denver is moving forward on development of two additional apartment towers as part of the Country Club Gardens community near the intersection of Downing Street and Elsworth Avenue in south central Denver. The project involves demolition of two of the existing garden style apartment buildings in exchange for preserving seven other historic buildings on the site constructed in 1940. The plan was originally approved through a development agreement with the City in 2001. Replacing the two demolished buildings will be two 30 story towers containing a total of 533 apartment units and several floors of structured parking, which will be screen by several of the remaining historic buildings and landscaping. The buildings will be mirror images of one another and top out at 322 feet in height. The architect for the project is Solomon Cordwell Buenz (SCB) of Chicago. The project is set to begin construction in early 2015, with completion in late 2016. Here are the preliminary renderings of the project showing the north and south sides of the buildings:

The (most likely) final design for the project. The overall height has been reduced slightly to 312 feet, with the mechanical penthouses being reduced in bulk and height.
