In September 2011, we first blogged about Zocalo Development’s proposed residential project at 17th and Wewatta in Downtown Denver’s booming Union Station district. This is a short update to let you know that the 13-story, 220-unit project, now named Cadence Apartments, is about to begin construction.

Earth-moving equipment has been moved onto the property and site prep and utility work will begin later this week. Here’s the rendering we showed you last time:

Also, here’s a GoogleEarth aerial image where I’ve marked the project location:

Cadence will be a LEED-Gold certified building and is scheduled to be completed by Fall 2013.
