In 2014 we reported on 999 17th Street, a proposed mixed-use development occupying the half block along Curtis between 17th and 18th streets that would include an apartment tower anchoring the 18th Street corner and offices at the 17th Street corner. Over the past year, the project has been working its way through the development review process with the city.

As many of you may have recently noticed, preliminary site work has started on a portion of the property. Here are a few photos I took the other day of the site:

While the developers are not ready to officially reveal the details of the project quite yet, a formal announcement should be forthcoming in early 2016. Until then, we can take joy in knowing that another surface parking lot in Downtown Denver has been eradicated!
