Nice to see all that brick!
I know there are a few more infill projects under construction out there that I haven’t recently posted a photo of (or at all). If you’d like to contribute to DenverInfill, please email me your well-composed, higher-resolution photos or send me a link to where the photos reside on a photo-sharing account, and I’d be happy–and thankful–to post them. Please also include the project name/location too.
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!

A new project on Colfax is coming to the Uptown district.
Renaissance Uptown Lofts is a 5-story mixed-use project planned for the northwest corner of Colfax and Pearl featuring ground-floor retail and 98 residential units on four levels, broken down as follows: 92 one-bedroom, 3 two-bedroom, and 3 studio apartments. The project is being developed by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless and will serve as new housing for lower-income persons and transitional housing for the formerly homeless. The project is modeled after CCH’s successful Renaissance Off Broadway project in the Arapahoe Square district and the Renaissance Riverfront Lofts project under construction in the River North district.
For much more information on the project, including an interesting description of how the façade of the small historic structure currently at the site will be incorporated into the project, please read this article by Vanessa Martin in the current issue of Life on Capitol Hill.
This is the image shown in Vanessa’s article. The project architect is Humphries Poli Architects.
Renaissance Uptown Lofts is located along a stretch of Colfax that has seen little investment in many decades. It’s nice seeing that trend is starting to change.
