Back in August we covered a bunch of projects that were still in the ‘hole-in-the-ground’ phase. One of those projects we had a quick snapshot of was the aLoft hotel going in at the corner of 15th and Stout. The old Burger King building has been demolished for quite some time and now we are starting to see some things go vertical!
Let’s head down to the site. Most of the underground work is complete, and the core is finally rising! Right now you are only seeing the underground facilities which do not occupy the whole footprint of the site. The rest of the building, however, will utilize the full site.
Outside of the fence, all you can see right now is the core above street level but I’m sure we will see the rest of the building go vertical in the very near future!
The aLoft Denver City Center will rise a total of six stories and provide Central Downtown with around 140 new hotel rooms. I am very excited that this corner is finally getting some much needed infill!
Great infill project for that site. You know I’m sill shocked whenever I see how close the Embassy Suites turned out to the original rendering when that project was first announced. So much so that the finished building looks identical to the original rendering.
I’m psyched that corner has been developed. I remember when it was a Burger King in the 80s surrounded by parking lots. It’s wonderful to see so much development and activity.
