Let’s end the week with new infill! The booming Cherry Creek North neighborhood is getting yet another hotel, in addition to the nearly complete 245 Columbine hotel.
Stonebridge has plans to build a 200 room hotel, named the Rollnick Hotel, at the corner of Second Avenue and Milwaukee Street. Here is an aerial with the project site outlined.
The Rollnick Hotel will rise eight stories and have two levels of underground parking. Ground floor retail, along Milwaukee Street, will also be included in this project. Here is a rendering courtesy of Gkkworks, the project’s architect.
It would appear that construction has already commenced seeing that the Rollnick Building isn’t standing anymore. A fence is also up around the existing surface parking lot, which will get torn out to make way for this project.
The construction time-frame is still unknown, but it looks like this project is already well underway!
This building is definitely more attractive than the building it is replacing. Seems like a waste to have torn down the building that was previously there though. But it’s great to see more surface parking go away!
Very attractive hotel. I like this one better than 245 Columbine. Plus it brings some more activity and density to the eastern part of the business district.
With all the new offices, apartments, condos and 3 new hotels, Cherry Creek is going to be even more active and lively than its been up to now.
Next on the agenda: better public transport, especially from downtown. How about a Union Station to Cherry Creek Shuttle?
