I’ve mentioned before that I appreciate it when a developer puts up a project sign at an infill construction site. Surprisingly, many do not. Anyway, I was happy to learn a few days ago that the developers of 1401 Lawrence, the 51-story condo tower planned for the corner of 14th and Lawrence on Block 070 in Central Downtown Denver, were going to be installing their project sign this afternoon. Sure enough, a sign crew was just finishing up when I arrived. I even got the sign guys to wave for the camera:
It’s good to see any type of evidence that a major high-rise project, such as 1401 Lawrence, is moving forward. A sales office is supposed to be built on the site later this Spring.
75 stories would be nice, but 51-, 45- and 41-story building rising from the ground in downtown Denver are an amazing thing to see progressing here! Check a little into the development issues of cities like, say, Buffalo, New York, if you think we are "cowtown" with regard to what's happening here!!
I see the sign has now come down and the sales center is being dismantled.
