Thanks to our fellow contributor Rick, I have some great photos of DaVita’s progress to share with you.
The elevator core is beginning to rise above everything else in the area. This was taken from the Central Platte Valley side of the Millennium Bridge.
Taken from the Millennium Bridge, you can see the parking structure is beginning to take shape, and the siding is very similar to its neighbor’s, 1900 16th Street.
This photo shows how precise you have to be when building a project in close quarters. On the left you have the 17-story 1900 16th St and just feet to the right you have light rail tracks with DaVita in the middle.
From the ground DaVita is making good progress and the structure is beginning to rise around the core.
Hopefully with some good weather in store for later this week, we will see what progress has been made with the projects going on at Auraria.
While I’m happy DaVita is downtown, too bad the building couldn’t have been constructed in a higher-profile location. (Like closer to Wewatta/Union Station or to replace an existing parking lot downtown or in LoDo.) Otherwise, always good to see cranes in action downtown….
