Project Construction Photos

Posted by Ken on March 22, 2009
Thanks to Vicki H., here are some photos of a few infill projects underway in Downtown Denver.

First, there’s the Denver Justice Center:

South/east side (left) and east/north side of the Detention Facility:

East/north side (left) and west (right) side of the Courthouse:

Hmmm… I think I’ll reserve judgement on this project until it’s finished.

In Capitol Hill, the 1127 Sherman project is mostly done and seems to fit nicely on its small infill site:

Finally, Westfield Development’s 1800 Larimer tower, the future home for Xcel Energy’s Denver offices, is coming along quickly. The elevator shaft is already up to about the 10th floor:

Infill Construction Photos!

Posted by Ken on December 5, 2008

Thanks to Vicki H. who’s been sending me photos from the center city districts east of Downtown for a couple of years now, today we’ve got a bunch of infill construction updates!

First, the Park Avenue Apartments (formerly Uptown Apartments) project at 19th and Washington in the Uptown district (Project #20):

Also in Uptown, the big East Village redevelopment project has finally moved across to the southwest side of Park Avenue, with that project’s “Block 4″ now starting construction next to Benedict Fountain Park (Project #1):

Speaking of the East Village redevelopment project, on the other side of Park Avenue in the Curtis Park district, construction of “Block 3″ is nearing completion (Project #8):

I dig the architecture.

Also in Curtis Park are two new projects I don’t have on DenverInfill yet! First is a 6-unit townhome project at 22nd and Emerson:

and a condo/townhome project of some kind at 25th and Washington. This project is right up against The Point project and nicely completes the block. At the corner is a historic Denver Fire Department station:

In the Capitol Hill district, the new Argonaut Liquor (Project #10) opened two days ago at Colfax and Clarkson! Here’s the new building:

Finally, a new project not yet on the City Park West district page is the new Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, located at the corner of 19th and High. Construction has recently begun:

Do you live or work near an infill project that I haven’t posted a photo of recently? If you’d like to be a contributor to DenverInfill, please send me an email (feedback “at” denverinfill “dot” com) with the photos or a link to where I can download them. Please just make sure they are higher-resolution, well-composed photos (no camera phones or shots taken through the car windshield, etc.) to maintain the high quality of this website. I will greatly appreciate it!

1127 Sherman Starts Construction

Posted by Ken on July 28, 2008

An infill project at 1127 Sherman has started construction. I first mentioned this project in March 2007. The primary tenant of the three-story building will be the Colorado State Land Board.

The new building includes 18,600 SF of space and one level of underground parking. The project is also LEED certified. Here’s a rendering of the project courtesy of Gensler Architects, which is being developed by Wells Spring Inc. Real Estate & Construction Management.

Here’s a site photo from two weeks ago, courtesy of Vicki H.

The project is being built by Provident Construction. The project should be completed Spring 2009. The site was previously a surface parking lot, so even a small project like this helps restore the fabric of our urban core.
