It’s hard to believe that we have not posted an update on EnV yet, minus featuring it in the Spring 2014: Downtown Denver Hole-in-the-Ground Census. However, I have a special post to kick off EnV’s first update.
Recently, I have expanded my horizons with photography and decided to take to the skies. Shawn Murry of CloudBase Aerial Imaging was our go-to for aerial perspectives and he has provided us some fantastic photos in the past. We will continue partnering with Shawn and look forward to many more great photos. Not to mention, Shawn has much bigger cameras in the air! Having two eyes in the sky allows us to provide aerial photos more frequently, which is never a bad thing!
Now onto EnV. Since the spring, the building has gone up eight stories and is really starting to have a presence in the Golden Triangle neighborhood. EnV will rise a total of 18-stories, meaning what you see today is just under half the total height. The structure will be concrete with a glass facade. Here are four perspectives of EnV from the air.
As I have been out practicing and flying around for fun, it is truly amazing what you can capture from a higher prospective. Here are two bonus photos from some recent flights.
EnV still has a long journey ahead but we will be keeping a closer eye on it as it is now rising at a quick pace.
Great shots!!
Nice photos, thanks for posting!
That shot from Arizona and Milwaukee is fantastic.
Any information on Welton Developments. Fencing up, and ground broken, on 25th and 26th and welton. Rederings posted, yet once again, DenverInfill completely ignores 5 points. I don’t get it… this was brought up at a neighborhood meeting also, so I know I am not the only one who feels this way….
There is fencing up and/or ground being broken in quite a few locations in several downtown neighborhoods, and I have yet to see mention of most of these groundbreakings (or soon to be groundbreakings) on Denver Infill either. It looks like the last Denver Infill post about a project at 25th and Welton was less than five months ago. Is five months too long for you?
It amazes me how often a commenter comes along with certain demands of Denver Infill – as if they’re owed something from this free service. Let’s not forget these guys are volunteering to provide this service in their free time. I think there’s just too much going on around downtown for a couple guys in their free time to keep up with.
From what I’ve read, Five Points is on the cusp of a ridiculous boom along the lines of what Highlands just experienced. I have a feeling there will be tons of Five Points coverage on this site over the next few years.
Michael,
What more do you need to know? I drive by there every day. Excavation has begun and the renderings are available. Ken and Ryan have full jobs besides this blog 🙂
Michael,
Here is the DenverInfill Page for the project you mention.

Thanks Michael for the link. I too get a little impatient sometimes about the delays in between updates…but like has been written, Ken and Ryan are really just volunteers and Ken doesn’t make any money off this site. So, we just have to sit back and chill. I’m sure they wouldn’t mind if you wanted to be a guest contributor and provide coverage for Five Points in the future….
Nice photos, but I’m concerned about development like this that is not part of an integrated light-rail plan for mass transit. Speer is already congested.
Thanks again, Ken and Ryan, for your hard work on this excellent forum! If we ever get streetcars in Denver again, you two will deserve a lot of the credit.
