Greetings, Downtown Denver infill fans. Sorry for the lack of posts lately, but I’ve been out of town on business in the Portlands (Maine and Oregon—two great places to have to travel to). Nevertheless, things are well in the Mile High City. Not only are the Rockies the National League champions, but construction is at an all-time high in Downtown Denver: Four Seasons, Sugar-3, 1755 Blake, 1800 Larimer, One Lincoln Park, 1515 Wynkoop, 1400 Wewatta, 1200 Elati, 816 Acoma, Denver Justice Center, Zi Lofts, 2120 Market, plus many other projects in the Downtown districts are climbing skyward.

Many of you have asked about the Spire. Don’t fret. The Nichols Partnership is a sophisticated development firm and negotiations are in the works on a replacement for their construction loan. But securing a $160 million-plus loan takes time and it’s reasonable that construction activity at the site takes a pause in the interim. It’s only a matter of time before all the “i”s are dotted and all the “t”s are crossed on a new loan, then we’ll see construction resume. Hang in there.

I’ll leave you with this: the latest photo from on high—courtesy of Bob—of the activity at the Four Seasons site:
