Yesterday at the Downtown Denver Partnership’s annual Development Forum, it was made public that Shea Properties has plans for a major infill project on the entire undeveloped half of Downtown’s Block 109. The project, known as 999 17th Street, would include a 350,000 SF office tower at the corner of 17th and Curtis and a tower of similar size at 18th and Curtis with possibly hotel and residential uses.

I’ve known about this project for many months but, since confidentiality was requested, I haven’t blogged about it—which was tough to do since it’s such an exciting development! I haven’t yet obtained permission to post the project renderings.

An entire half block of surface parking in the core Downtown along 17th Street—our “Wall Street of the Rockies”—could go away and be replaced with a vibrant mixed-use high-rise complex. Sweet!

BLOG UPDATE!!

I was waiting to get permission to post the renderings, but I’ve just now gotten the go-ahead, so here they are:
