The surface parking lot on 14th Street between Lawrence and Arapahoe that covers about two-thirds of Block 074–the site of Downtown Denver’s proposed Four Seasons Hotel & Residences tower–has been closed.

The parking lot is empty of cars and concrete barricades are now in place closing off one lane around the perimeter of the site. Take a look (many thanks to Bob H. for the photo!):

I’d say this is a very good sign construction on the long-planned 45-story tower is about to begin!
