We interrupt our “Before They Were Parking Lots” feature presentation for a special announcement: Today marks the two year anniversary of the DenverInfill Blog! As the final element of DenverInfill to be completed, my first blog was on July 5, 2005 when I announced that a 30-story tower to be called One Lincoln Park was to be built. Think about all that’s happened Downtown since then!
To celebrate, and to remind us of our mission to eradicate surface parking lots from Downtown Denver, here’s a companion photo to the one I posted a few days ago of the Bank One tower under construction in 1979. That other one showed the block we were reviewing better, but this one really reveals the scale and impact of that little demolition effort called the Skyline Urban Renewal Project.
Just imagine the other 20 or so Skyline blocks that you can’t see in this image!
Thank you to all of you who regularly read DenverInfill and who share my passion for Downtown Denver and making it the best damn urban center we can. We’re getting there!
