The Chile Pepper and Baby Doe’s restaurant buildings sitting on the bluff overlooking I-25 just north of Mile High Stadium are G-O-N-E! Yep, the two structures have been demolished. The site has been cleared in anticipation of the proposed Pinnacle Station project by the Spanos Company. While I was not in favor of the design of this project, I do support the redevelopment of the site to a higher and better use. Hopefully, the demolition means that construction of the project will occur soon. I’d rather have a mediocre project move forward than have a site cleared and then sit vacant for years. Despite the suburban nature of the Pinnacle Station design, it will add a big boost of vitality to Downtown Denver’s Jefferson Park district.

Hey Ken,
It looks like December 3rd the Spire will begin work agian. Also, they will be pulling the new gas line to it this week across 14th street. Lets see if my date is correct.
Where did you get that info 1:52?
Is the Pinnacle Station going to be in phases?
Everyone is complaining that the Pinnacle Station failed to have any for-sale condominiums. Did it occur to anyone that the developer didn't want to deal with the immense hassle of getting sued by the ever increasing litigious hungry HOA boards? Ask any attorney specializing in construction defect law and they will tell you that you have to be crazy to build condos in Colorado, clearly this developer gets the picture.
Ugh….screw the statement about lacking "4 Sale" condos…did anyone actually LOOK at this project? It SUCKS!!! It's a perfect tech-center/Parker design that has no place on a premier bluff just west of Downtown.
NO retail…NO plazas/gathering street areas…NO creativity in design, and it sits on a hill of gold as far as real-estate land is considered. What a waste.
Los Angeles, here we come.
What an unfortunate muck of buildings. With such a great location. Very said intdeed. Blachhhkkk. Not a good sign of things to come for the Jefferson Park district.
Hey John – I was sent the notice for gas pipes by xcel to the Spire that is happening right now on 14th. The other part I got from some of the workers that park in parking lot and were buying there passes for the month of December for when they come back on the job. Now its wait and see it that is correct information, but usually if you are going back to work, you know when that will happen.
