Frontview 40 Update

Posted by Ken on July 30, 2009
The Frontview 40 project in Denver’s up-and-coming Jefferson Park district is wrapping up construction, so it’s time for an update.

Frontview 40 is located at Bryant Street and Frontview Crescent, just north of Mile High Stadium, and includes 9 townhomes and 31 flats. First, here’s a rendering of the project (Bothwell Davis George Architects did the design):

Next, thanks to Lu, here are some photos of the almost-finished project:

Finally, here’s a shot of the killer view from Frontview 40’s community rooftop deck:

Jefferson Park Update

Posted by Ken on July 10, 2008

Let’s take a look at what’s going on in the Jefferson Park district. First, some photo updates:

RiverClay is mostly complete and people are starting to move in:

Jefferson Park Townhomes construction at 22nd and Decatur continues:

Work has recently started on the 2600 Frontview Crescent project:

A few days ago I blogged about the proposed PURE Townhome project. Here’s the site:

The Clay Street Residences are complete:

The Bryant Lofts project at 27th and Bryant is still under construction, but I missed taking a photo of it. Sorry.

More Jefferson Park infill news and rumors…

After about two years of controversy and debate over the A. G. Spanos Company’s proposed Pinnacle Station project, I’ve heard that the developer has cancelled the project and that the site is up for sale or has been recently sold. So let’s see: they come into an historic urban district with an out-of-scale suburbanesque apartment complex proposal, spend two years not cooperating with the neighborhood, get their rezoning approved anyway, tear down the Chili Pepper and Baby Does restaurant buildings, put a chain link fence around the site, let it sit unattended for months, then leave. Thanks, Spanos!

The proposed Flats on Upper 24th project appears dead. The sales trailer is gone, the project sign is gone, and all that remains is the empty lot and its chain link fence. Hopefully someone will plan something new for the site soon.

A new townhome project is supposedly coming to somewhere near 28th and Clay. Still researching that one…

The old office complex around Speer and Bryant reportedly has been sold and that plans are in the works for a large residential development with about 300 units and 10,000 SF of retail. Still researching that one too…

A group of dedicated Jefferson Park neighbors have assembled most of the properties around the corner of 25th and Eliot–a former stop for not one, but two intersecting streetcar lines–that features a couple of cool historic commercial buildings, some small homes, and some vacant lots. The corner has the potential to become the next “32nd & Zuni” with a nice mix of old, new, residential, and retail. The group has recently renovated one building, is working on another, and is looking for investors to help move their vision for the corner forward.

A possible Trolley Museum may be in the works for Jefferson Park…

The Safeway at 26th and Federal has recently been completely remodeled and has gone upscale. They did a nice job on it.

Did I miss a Jefferson Park infill project? Please let me know.

New Jefferson Park Project: PURE Townhomes

Posted by Ken on June 26, 2008

The northwest corner of Decatur and W. 27th Avenue may soon be home to a new infill project in the Jefferson Park district. Currently a vacant lot, a project called PURE Townhomes is planned for that corner. The project would include seven units ranging in size from 1,400 to 1,800 square feet and start in the $300,000s. Here’s a rendering:

Jefferson Park, CPV Projects Move Forward

Posted by Ken on August 24, 2006

In my July 26 blog, I mentioned a new infill project in the Jefferson Park neighborhood. The project, Flats on 24th, is planned for mid-block on the north side of W. 24th Avenue between Clay and Decatur. Since then, I’ve been able to obtain a couple of preliminary renderings:

The project features a total of 51 condominium units in a configuration that including both stacked townhomes and flats. The Flats on 24th is now under development review with the city.

Across the river at 15th and Little Raven, the assisted-living residential facility being developed by Belfour Senior Care is moving forward. This second phase of the Archstone Commons PUD is taking shape as an upscale 200-unit senior facility to be known as the Cosmopolitan Club. The project includes a 160-unit parking garage as well as the renovation of the historic Moffat Station as a community center for the facility. The project architects are Klipp and Robert AM Stern Architects. Construction is planned to begin in 2007.

Hines Project Moves Forward

Posted by Ken on August 4, 2006

Yesterday the Lower Downtown Design Review Board met and one of the projects they discussed was the proposed Hines office project on Block 013 at 15th and Wynkoop. This is the development that will go next to the new EPA Building on the west half of the old Postal Annex block. If you’re not familiar with this project, I provide a description of it in my blog of May 8. With the building’s mass, scale, and form previously approved by the Board, yesterday the developers were looking for approval of the building’s facade design and materials.

One concern for this project was the sidewalk along 15th Street. Denver Public Works had been insisting since the beginning on an extra-wide sidewalk along this particular block of 15th that would have required the Hines building to have an arcade along the entire 15th Street facade in order to maintain the zero set-back and to continue the established street wall. Both the developer and the Board had been frustrated by this requirement by Public Works because it left virtually no alternative but a very non-LoDo-ish design that neither of them liked. Fortunately, after some convincing, Public Works changed its requirement and now the arcade is gone and the building’s facade will meet the sidewalk like all the other buildings in LoDo. That change, in addition to a few other modifications that the architect (Hartman-Cox) made since its last Board visit, resulted in the Board’s approving the building’s facade design. On the next appearance before the Board (and possibly the last), the developer will present and hopefully receive approval on the storefront and signage program, as well as on a few final design tweeks the Board requested.

With the EPA Building, this Hines project, the new Sugar Building, and several other infill projects planned for the area, we’re witnessing the next stage of the evolution of LoDo into a well-rounded, more intensive mixed-use urban district.

Moving on to Jefferson Park… thanks to one of my faithful DenverInfill operatives, I am pleased to present a preliminary rendering of the Bryant Street Townhomes, a project consisting of 8 townhome units situated at the corner of Bryant Street and W. 24th Avenue in the Jefferson Park neighborhood.

The project is being planned by developer Glen Wood. The firm doing the design is Bothwell Davis George Architects, who are located just up the street at 32nd and Tejon in the Highland neighborhood. As this project moves forward, detailed color renderings should become available.
