Located right next to the 10th and Osage station, 1099 Osage has broken ground and gone vertical. This is the first building to be built in the South Lincoln Redevelopment project.
It appears they have closed Osage between 10th and 11th for this project.
This site was the busiest I have visited so far. It looks like they were working on the 4th floor.
I took a few steps back to give you an idea of how large this project is compared to everything else in the area.
1099 Osage will be an 8-story, 100-unit senior apartment building that will achieve LEED-Platnium status. There is much more to come in the La Alma – Lincoln Park neighborhood and 1099 Osage is a great start to the redevelopment.
I’m really looking forward to seeing this project develop over the next few years. I’m visiting in early April, so I’ll have to remember and get off the train at 10th and Osage to take some pictures.
Thanks for the update!
Can you comment on what is going on just a bit further down the tracks from this project (toward Auraria)? They have already built/extended the train tracks to meet this line and after ‘chopping’ off the back end of the large past-furniture warehouse building, to make way for the track, are bricking up the end. Not sure what how the large building will play into this area. I believe the cross street is Rio.
I believe that is a realignment of a freight track due to construction of RTD’s West Corridor line further north and to the west.
Thank you for your pictures of 1099 Osage, here’s more if you don’t already know about it.

You can see progress at 1099 Osage by clicking on the above link. (Denver Housing Authority, Redevelopment, WATCH THE CONSTRUCTION OF 1099 OSAGE.) Very cool!! I live in another state and hope to someday live in the new neighborhood so being able to see the building go up is a treat. You can go back a few months and see it blanketed in snow; watch day by day progress or month by month progress.
I’ll be visiting in May, 2011 and look forward to seeing the progress and construction in person.
