To kick off the holiday weekend, we are going to take a quick peek at the Hyatt Place / Hyatt House project going up at the intersection of 14th and Glenarm. The last time we reported on this project, heavy construction equipment moved on site and excavation had begun.

There was some speculation on why the excavation process took so long and, after talking to one of the site workers, they found asbestos bricks and had to go through asbestos abatement. Now that the site is cleaned up, construction is in full swing and Downtown Denver has a new red tower crane!

Here is a photo of the site. Because of the single underground level, we should see this building building break the street level within a month or two!

The Hyatt House / Hyatt Place is going to be a 21-story hotel in an area of Downtown Denver that has been begging for development. It’s great to see this project moving forward in full force! For a quick refresher on the project, head on over to our announcement, and rendering posts.
