The twin 30-story Country Club Towers are making great progress. Our last update showcased the new glass going in. Now, the towers are taller and the glass keeps climbing up.
Here are two close-up shots of the West Tower, which is now 24-stories up.
Glass is also now starting to go up on the East tower, currently 16-stories up.
From the north, here are a couple of photos from the neighborhood. As we’ve mentioned before, it is a little difficult to capture this project since it is tucked away in an already dense neighborhood.
However, this is where the drone comes in handy. We can see the huge impact these towers are staring to make. Also, Denver’s tree canopy looks pretty stellar from this angle.
When I took these photos over the weekend, workers were jumping the tower crane for the west tower. Present day, the tower crane is much taller!
That glass is going to reflect the canopy of those trees so brilliantly. I can’t wait until it’s done.
Hopefully we can leverage the additional 500 cars this will dump onto Speer every morning for a push for real CBD to Cherry Creek transit options!
Sarcasm related to that pipe dream aside; while I’m all for well thought out residential density in settings where walking or taking transit to your daily destinations is possible, this seems more like a vertical gated community where residents are going to be more inclined to take the elevator down to the garage and funnel onto Speer/Colorado, rather than walking to Broadway and Cherry Creek…But I’m sure it will be pretty to look at!
I hope you will speak up at the DenverMoves:Transit public meetings and other public-input opportunities as part of the Denveright planning process to strongly urge for a great Downtown-Cherry Creek transit connection. It’s vital and a total no-brainer.
Definitely on that and all of the online surveys on the site, Ken! Glad they’re making providing input for this initiative more accessible.
Cool. This applies to everyone reading this!!
Also, be sure to participate in the current Go Speer Leetsdale study. The next meeting hasn’t yet been announced, but you can sign up for updates, read about the study so far, and send in comments:

Thank you Joel, Ken and all above for your strong support of urban rail in high density areas of Denver — like Cherry Creek, Capitol Hill, Broadway and Highland. As a member of the Mobility group of the Denveright Thinktank, I’ve seen hundreds of citizens attending public meetings across Denver, who strongly support rail transit service in their neighborhoods — in other words, streetcars. Over the next 18 months, more public meetings will seek more input from Denver residents. I urge every DenverInfill reader to attend and speak up for expansion of urban transit, which is the most important next step in Denver’s development into a great, livable city.
Even more traffic during rush hours, and no light rail to this part of town. What a shame.
The American mindset is slow to change on mass transit and in most cases still insists on a “catch-up” approach rather than long-term planning. I agree that light rail or streetcars should ply the downtown/Cherry Creek route. And even though I feel Country Club Towers is the type of development better suited to other neighborhoods, it does provide a nice boost to the population between the two. That can only improve the chances for intracity rail on that route.
I live right next to this project and can’t be more excited to see this beautiful building go up.
Very impressive project especially driving north on Corona at Speer.
Thirty stories. Blue tinted glass. Winter is coming to Country Club Gardens.
