This is a quick update to the recently announced Riverview at 1700 Platte project. Work has started on the development that will add a new 210,000 square foot office building to Lower Highland’s historic Platte Street. The existing structure located on the property—the former Empire Staple building—no longer exists. Here’s a shot from this afternoon:
Once the site is cleaned up, we’ll probably see excavation for the project’s two levels of underground parking begin soon thereafter.
I just checked Google Earth, and, thankfully, the Empire Staple Building was not quite as grand as the Empire State Building. It should be pretty easy for this project to be an improvement.
LOL, I was wondering about that.
This developer is known for pretty awful buildings…
Did you look at the renderings in the announcement post? It looks pretty nice to me. Better than Galvanize 2.0 and The Lab on Platte, I think.
No hadn’t seen those. Much much better looking than many of their other Denver projects…
