Looks like another surface parking lot in Downtown Denver may be on its way out! In their upcoming January 16 meeting, the Denver Landmark Preservation Commission will be making its initial review of a project planned for 2120 Blake, on Block 036 in Northeast Downtown. The site is immediately across the street from Coors Field on one of those gravel parking lots that has remained undeveloped since the stadium joined the neighborhood in the mid ’90s. The site shares the block with another infill project, the 226-unit, 8-story Broadstone Lofts project that will fill in the entire Market Street side of the block next to the historic Piggly Wiggly building. That project has not yet started construction, but its development plan has been approved and is now in the building permit stage. Hopefully construction on Broadstone will begin this Spring.
The new project at 22nd and Blake is listed on the LPC’s agenda as simply “mixed-use new construction” so I don’t have any details yet on number of units, number of floors, etc. More information on this project will be posted as soon as available.
