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.
I have to say, this is by far my favorite infill developement in Denver right now. Zocalo has done it again!!!! My only hope is that they buy more property in the area to develope, and hopefully we can add another 200 or so units in the US neighborhood.
This project looks great! In agreement with John, above, Zocalo definitely seems to be producing the classiest residential developments around and – even though 13 stories is by no means a high rise – they thankfully don’t seem to share the aversion to more fully utlizing downtown real estate that is currently fashionable with a lot of developers. If we could fill the union station redevelopment with more of these, we might actually have a true urban neighborhood here, vs. the Stapleton redux some developers are pushing.
This is a very good looking building. It’s certainly my favorite so far in the US area. The view from the penthouse will be fantastic! Is this the same developer that built 4550 Cherry Creek? The two are very similar.
Really, I hope these comments aren’t people associated with Zocala because this is a hideous building. It is as boring and unorigional as any in the city.
Ditto.
I agree. The first thing I thought of when I saw the render was how it looks like all the other apartments downtown.
I think that this is a nice looking project. I just wish that Zocala would build unit for sale!
Great looking building! It looks like Denver is becoming quite a beautiful city.
