Yesterday we took a look at the 250 Columbine project and today we are walking across the street to take a look at another new redevelopment project: 245 Columbine. Below is a map of the area with the site outlined in yellow.

245 Columbine will be a 7-story, 90,000 square foot office building with ground floor retail. A zoning change had to be filed with the city and it was approved unanimously 11-0 despite many concerns from the local residents. Here are some preliminary renderings of the project.

Right now the old Cherry Creek post office building occupies the site which will be demolished to make way for the new development. I don’t think anyone is going to miss this building,

Here is a top down view of Columbine Street looking toward 245 Columbine. Between 245 Columbine and 250 Columbine this street will become quite the dense stretch in Cherry Creek North.

 

This project will have several floors of underground parking and is designed by klipp Architects. 245 Columbine is expected to break ground this summer/early fall.
