Before we get to the exciting infill news, I would like to thank everyone for all of your kind words, views, and shares with my ‘A Day in Denver’ photo project. It has been a fun week watching it spread around the internet and seeing everyone enjoying it in the process. Truly, thank you readers of DenverInfill. It wouldn’t have been nearly as fun of a launch week without you all!

Now for the infill! Remember in November when we provided an updated rendering of the Hyatt Place / Hyatt House project, predicting construction was to begin soon? As of last weekend, construction has already begun and heavy machinery has started to move onto the site!

The parking lot has already been torn up and a caisson drill has been moved on site. Because the hotel will have mostly above ground parking, there will be minimal excavation needed. Once the foundation and utility relocation is complete, we should see this project rise quickly. Here are a couple pictures of the site.

 

The 21-story, 361-room hotel still has a long ways to go but it is always exciting seeing another parking lot bite the dust in Upper Downtown!
