Holland Partner Group recently broke ground on their Parkside Apartments project at the corner of 19th and Little Raven—the final site within the Riverfront Park neighborhood to be developed.
Infrastructure to support Riverfront Park got started in 1999 with work on Commons Park, Little Raven Street, and the Millennium Bridge, which was dedicated on April 22, 2002. The first three condo buildings clustered next to the Millennium Bridge opened around the same time as the bridge. With the final parcel now under development, the entire Riverfront Park Master Plan will be built out by 2018—a twenty-year time span. To learn more about the history of the Riverfront Park development, check out this ULI case study report.
Here’s one more image showing the Parkside Apartment’s construction fence with the Riverfront Green and Confluence projects under construction beyond.
Parkside Apartments will bring 161 new residences to Downtown Denver.
Really glad to see this actually rising. Denver’s in action mode.
Hey Ken,
I have a question unrelated to the above posts. Can you tell me why Canadian cities
downtown skylines are so large in relation to the actual size of the city itself?
Here are just two examples. Chicago is much larger than Toronto, yet Toronto has almost
twice as many skyscrapers. Denver is larger the Calgary and Calgary has passed up
Denver in height and quantity. Metro Calgary has 1.2 million people and that is about
the size Denver was back in 1968. Look up a photo of Denver back in 1968 and it only
had only a handful of tall buildings. I look to you as the leading urban and planning
expert in our city for questions like this. Can you tell what gives?????
Thanks.
