Comments on: One Lincoln Park: A Look Back http://denverinfill.com/blog/2008/10/one-lincoln-park-look-back.html News and information about urban infill development in the Mile High City Sun, 05 Feb 2012 17:06:18 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Anonymous http://denverinfill.com/blog/2008/10/one-lincoln-park-look-back.html/comment-page-1#comment-3489 Anonymous Sun, 22 Feb 2009 20:17:00 +0000 http://denverinfill.com/wordpress/2008/10/one-lincoln-park-a-look-back.html#comment-3489 The last thing, left unfinished by BYG, is the payments owed to the subcontractors that worked on this project. It was quite a shock when the payments from BYG went from the 30days from pay app to the 90 to 120 days. Now as the project is completed subcontractors are lining up to place liens on the property for which the BYG group continues to abuse and not pay. If you think the owners that bought into this property were surprised about the lack of media equipment, wait until they see the liens start piling up on the units for which they already purchased or are about to purchase. The BYG group made this project a disaster and the finishes show it. The last thing, left unfinished by BYG, is the payments owed to the subcontractors that worked on this project.

I went to the Grand Opening of One Lincoln Park last night and was disappointed in the final product. Specifically, the fitness center was a joke (not the Techno Gym the developer promised), what looks like the media room has some furniture but no media equipment, the lobby looks half- assed as does the owners club and pool. Where is the restaurant and coffee shop the developer promised? I feel bad for the people who actually bought into the developer’s story. I think 1LP was over promised and under delivered. Maybe it helps if the developer is also the builder like Opus and The Pinnacle which appears to be a first class company and a first class development.

The top of the building looks nice, especially when viewed from Cap Hill. And why's everyone caught up with everything being so functional in the design? Weren't the same people bragging about the design of the Bell Tower? There's even less function in that.

I'm most bothered by the odd diagonal braces here and there, with no seeming over-all pattern. Also the base, made of brick and having rounded corners doesn't match the theme of the tower. And, finally, the complicated geometry doesn't serve any functional form. Why this or that detail is added seems completely arbitrary.

Just imagine if they made the white parts of the facade an earthy red, brown, or even stone gray mix. It would look zounds better! I agree with the asessments of the 'unfinished' look.

I think the problem is they got the materials wrong, resulting in an unfinished look.<br /><br />Warmer colors would have been much better, but the curved top, the brackets, the base... they're OK.
