Outside of our last post, reporting that Cherry Creek has three more projects in the works, another project is coming to the Cherry Creek North neighborhood. Back in May, it was reported that Schnitzer West had purchased property at 230 and 250 Fillmore Street where the popular Wizard’s Chest stands. First, let’s start out with a street-level view of where the new office building is going.

Given that high density is the forward direction Cherry Creek is moving, some sacrifices such as this one must be made. Fear not, the Wizard’s Chest will have a new home along South Broadway and will stay in Cherry Creek until December. Here is an aerial with the project site outlined.

Civica Cherry Creek will be following and maximizing the height according the new zoning guidelines we outlined in our last post. A seven-story structure will rise closer to Second Avenue and will step down to five stories towards Third Avenue. The building will provide the neighborhood with 105,000 square feet of boutique office space with a rooftop deck and an underground parking garage. We have one preliminary rendering of the project courtesy of Schnitzer West.

With news that the Wizard’s Chest is operating in Cherry Creek until December, we should expect this project to start in early 2016. As a fun little bonus, you can follow the construction of the new Wizard’s Chest castle going up on 451 Broadway here.
