Today we are going to take a look at the site that is just outside the very busy Union Station development, the DaVita headquarters.
Looking at the project from a slightly different angle (Speer and Zuni), you can see the steel structure is going up and the crane has been jumped.
This project is almost filling in a gap in the view from Riverfront Park creating a nice wall of buildings.
Looking at the rear side of the building, the facade is starting to go up.
In respects to height, I took this to compare what the current height of DaVita is to its very close neighbor 1900 16th Street.
When I was taking pictures of DaVita from Speer and Zuni Street, I looked just to the right and noticed a view plane of cranes and wanted to share it with you. Even in the slow development times there is a lot of development going on and it is very exciting for our wonderful city.
Now that the tracks are removed from 16th Street, they will be able to start the missing portion of the building. So far not much has been done but come the time for another update, we will be taking a look at that.
Thanks for the update, Ryan!
Looking at the photos with the Millennium bridge in the foreground, I really think it is looking much better surrounded by bigger buildings. I hoped this would happen eventually because I have never been a huge fan of this bridge. It kinda looked like it belonged near an ocean, or near water. But as the buildings around it fill in and it seems to be evolving into it’s proper context, it is so much more appealing to me.
