Back in October, we, here at DenverInfill, announced  a very exciting project going up in the Union Station neighborhood: 1709 Chestnut. It’s a development that will provide over 500 residential units, contained in 12 and 24-story buildings, on a parcel just steps away from Denver’s light-rail system.

This past weekend, I observed what could possibly be pre-construction activity over at the site. The street lamps along 18th Street have been taken down and an excavator is now on site.  Here are a couple of photos from Sunday.
