Right on schedule, site excavation for 1515 Wynkoop has begun. This project, located on Block 013 in Lower Downtown Denver, is being developed by Hines, and includes approximately 300,000 square feet of office and retail space in an 8-story building. The ceremonial groundbreaking party was held a few weeks ago on March 14. Here’s a photo from today of the start of site excavation:

Visible at the far end of the site is an unearthed portion of the foundation of the former Postal Annex building that stood at this site from the 1950s until 2005. 1515 Wynkoop will be complete in October 2008.
