Hanging around Union Station, let’s check in on Continuum Partner’s project over at 16th and Wewatta. This two building, hotel and office, project is starting to quickly take off.

The hotel structure, in the first picture, is three-stories up. Topping out at 12 stories, this building will reach the height of the grey blank wall on The Platform tower behind it. In the second picture, we can see that the office portion is two-stories up. It will top out at a total of five stories; the same height as both the North and South Wing buildings.

This project is going up right on the edge of the commuter rail canopy and we can now see exactly that! Ground floor retail, in both the office and hotel buildings, will line the edge of the canopy creating a great enclosed space for commuters and visitors.

With these buildings now going vertical, the 16th Street Mall street wall is starting to get very impressive from the Millennium Bridge to Union Station.

To end this post, I give you one last shot of the commuter rail canopy from a gorgeous February day.

The completion of Block A, consisting of this project and The Platform, is a momentous step in completing the Union Station neighborhood build out. We will check back in a couple of months when both buildings are nearly topped out.
