18th and Central Apartments Update #2

It’s been a little over six months since our last update on Southern Land Company’s new apartment development at 18th and Central Streets in Lower Highland, so let’s take a look at how this project is shaping up. First, however, the project now has an official name and website: Centric LoHi.

As we described in our first post, the L-shaped development consists of a building that spans the northeast side of 18th Street between Central and Boulder, plus a second building at Boulder and 19th Street (which no longer exists as a street but its right-of-way is now occupied by Highland Gateway Park). This Google Earth image from October 2015 clearly shows the property under construction:

Here are some photos from this weekend.

This would be a good spot to show you the first of two new renderings of the project (courtesy EVstudio). This one shows the corner of 18th and Central where a Rusty Bucket Restaurant & Tavern will occupy the largest of three ground-floor retail spaces:

Here’s the other new rendering—the view at the corner of 18th and Boulder:

This project is slated for completion in early 2017.
