The proposed Embassy Suites hotel project on Block 138 in Downtown Denver filed its building permit application with the city on February 14. Sign-offs on the various permit categories like mechanical, electrical, structural, etc. all still have to occur, which usually takes several months, but it is good to finally see this project moving forward.

I recently complained about this slow-moving project and the lack of information about it provided to the public. We still don’t know much about the project, but at least it appears to be making progress. The last information I heard was that it was still planned at 250 rooms in a 20-story building, but who knows if that is still accurate? Either way, it will be nice to see the Alpine Demolition equipment and rubble removed and a real construction site take its place.
