This week is all about milestones. The Lydian, an eight-story mixed-use project in the Curtis Park-Five Points neighborhood, now has a tower crane installed at the project site; a major milestone for any project.
For this update, we have two photos of the new tower crane at sunset. These photos also give us a great perspective of what is going on in the hole. Excavation is complete and foundation work should be starting any day.
The Lydian will be a great addition to the Welton Corridor and the neighborhood. For a refresher, head on over to our announcement post for renderings and additional details.
Loving this project. Great, thoughtful ground level presence to activate the street along with the Wheatley project in an important corridor. Other developers in Welton/AS could learn something here (ahem…Alexan, 2300 Welton…)
I completely agree. I wish that those other development had some corner retail spaces, which is quite common in older cities. It would not put a great deal of pressure on the owners in regards to leasing the spaces, but would help enliven the streetscape.
Speaking of sunset tower crane shots, could I give you a homework assignment?
Park Avenue bridge at sunset looking towards Union Station. Bonus points if the Broncos are playing and Mile High is lit up in the background!
Ooooo! I like this. Next time I’m around at sunset I will totally do this!
