The infill boom keeps on rolling in Cherry Creek! With over 350 residential units already under construction, another new infill project has broken ground on the eastern side of Cherry Creek in the Alameda Triangle.
The project will sit at 360 South Monroe at the intersection of Cherry Creek Drive North and Monroe Street. The building will take up two-thirds of the block and will run along the diagonal portion of Cherry Creek Drive North. Here is a map with the site outlined.
I stopped by the site this weekend to check in on the progress of this project. Right now, excavation, drilling, and foundation work has begun. I suspect in the next few months we will see one or two tower cranes installed on site due to the large scale of this building.
Now for the good stuff, renderings! We have three perspectives to share with you today. Here is the building viewed from Cherry Creek Drive North looking northwest. As you can see, 360 South Monroe will rise a total of 8 stories.
Here is the view from Dakota Street.
And here is the view from South Monroe Street.
360 South Monroe will provide the Cherry Creek Neighborhood with 297 rental units with structured parking underground. Completion is expected around mid-2015.
Looks like a great project all around!
It still kills me that Cherry Creek gets apartment buildings with more density and arguably better looking than the Union Station neighborhood.
*I should say they get more density than some of the Union Station projects. Even then, this still should not be happening.
Cost of land
I would think higher cost of land would lead to better projects with more height (so that the cost of the land could be recovered). Is this CC property more expensive than Union Station?
I agree, Kyle, and CC doesn’t even have light rail. What a waste. We need light rail in CC and better projects downtown.
On the bright side, perhaps this recent influx of development in Cherry Creek will help to spur more public transit between downtown and CC. Maybe some sort of street car that could travel along the creek?
No complaints about the office building that was torn down for this project?
