Renshan is owned by a group of Russian Investors who plan to transform the entire parcel of land into a large condo replicating a building somewhere in Eastern Europe. Roman Abromovich is involved.

Renshan is part of a Romanian Real Estate Corperation. Its headquarters are outside Bucharest and has links to a group of Russian investors including Vladamir Pinokorovsky and Boris Bolditski. The eventual plans are to turn the property into a mixed use hotel, condo, retail and office tower with a 51st floor pool.

Rumor has it that the company that purchased the land (Renshan LP) also purchased the rights/floor plans to build the 51 story building as it was previously planned. While the details have not been worked out, the new company will almost certainly keep the sales center in place and sit on the land until the market gets better (which is probably what GG should have done to begin with). We'll see what really happens soon enough. Maybe 1401 Lawrence will happen after all, just much later than planned… ??

C'mon people! How come some of you can't get the rather simple jokes on some of these comments and then leave one that makes Denver look bad?! I'm sure there are people from competitive cities of similar size (Minneapolis, Memphis, K.C.) who are laughing at us when they read this because we can't get a joke. Don't make this great city look bad!

Ditto the comments of anon 10:03. If the numbers are right are someone is willing to take a $5M+ loss on the purchase/sale & improvements alone, I don't expect to see anything here besides a parking lot (again) for at least 5 years. Probably longer than that though.

That is, unless the River House gets built: http://www.denverinfill.com/block_pages/lower_downtown/block_242_&_044.htm. Then this parcel may be developed sooner.

The company (group of investers) left them exposed for a huge loss. Maybe they can get away with that sort of exposure in Dallas or Atl. Only buildings on solid financial ground and needed buildings will be built here. Free lunch is over. Nanoo, nanoo.

The FBI Office is going up in Stapleton. Renshan sounds like some local bloke with a lot of money, who's just going to sit on the property until a developer comes in to purchase the land.

Dear Lord Anon 4:58 you have lived here for 40 years and you write like THAT??? It's one thing to rant and have a therapy session on paper but its another thing to sound like a creepy LSD addled stream of conciousness induced grammatical siezure.

BUT, since I think one of the recognizable corn kernals in keyboard excrement you shared with everyone was that you'd like to move somewhere filled red with possibility… consider Orlando. It's the year of a million dreams just down the road from me and Orlando is nearly exclusively possibility and little of anything else. You should fit right in here.
