A significant new redevelopment project—DriveTrain—is coming to Denver’s booming River North (RiNo) neighborhood at the former Drive Train Industries site on Brighton Boulevard. The DriveTrain development consists of two components, with this post focusing on the smaller of the two: River Row Homes at DriveTrain.
River Row Homes at DriveTrain includes 23 rowhomes situated on an approximate one-acre parcel along Arkins Court at 33rd Street. Here’s the site outlined on a Google Earth aerial:
Over at DenverUrbanism, we’ve been reporting on this area in several posts relating to new infrastructure in RiNo. The River Row Homes at DriveTrain will be surrounded (literally) on all sides by some of that new infrastructure: the redesign of Arkins Court into the River North Promenade to the north, the construction of a new 33rd Street/Delgany Festival Street to the west and south, and the development of River North Park to the east. This site plan from the project’s website shows the arrangement of the row homes on the site:
DriveTrain is being developed by Iselo Investment Partners, owned by Tom and Brooke Gordon, and the architect for the River Row Homes is Sprocket. Below are a couple of renderings, courtesy of Sprocket:

The River Row Homes at DriveTrain is scheduled to begin construction this summer and be complete in 2017.
The second component of the DriveTrain development is substantially larger and more ambitious, and the focus of our next DenverInfill post.
They start at $1,102,793 and go up to $1,435,775.
What kind of square footage will these townhouses be?
Ew, the arches in front of some of the properties here look terrible- reminds me of the old Taco Bells or the post offices built in California during the 1960’s and 70’s- If they got rid of those, these buildings would look exponentially better.
Who’s out there willing to pay 1 million + for these things?
