As we saw in our tower crane census and our most recent update, SkyHouse Denver, a 26-story, 354-unit apartment tower, has topped out and is nearing completion.
The one element that has remained a mystery, from a materials standpoint, is the parking structure. Parking structures can take many different forms; some remain uncovered while others are enclosed with tasteful materials. This particular garage is going to be clad in brown brick, which is a huge plus.
Work is still underway on the parking garage but the final concrete pour should be around late September.
The blue-green glass facade on the tower is nearly complete with the exception of a few panels on the top floor.
From an aerial perspective, we can clearly see how much of a gap this project fills in. Even one block in this area of downtown makes a difference as it’s riddled with surface parking lots.
SkyHouse is currently leasing with the first move-ins starting in October, which is when we will come back for a final update!
It’s certainly an improvement over the surface lot that was there, but I can’t help but be a bit disappointed by this project.
That separated parking garage adds nothing (perhaps detracts from) the urban fabric. It will do nothing to active that street. It’s really a missed opportunity on such an important corner.
I agree with you that the separated parking garage adds nothing to the urban fabric, but this one will have ground floor retail/commercial spaces on the Lincoln Street side. So from a pedestrian point of view, the street will have some activation. However, I still don’t want to see this type of development replicated elsewhere in the city. It ties up two development parcels for really just one development.
