Over in the Union Station neighborhood, Union Tower West is now complete. This 12-story, mixed-use project contains 100,000 square feet of office space and a 180 room Hotel Indigo. Construction began back in April 2015 and is officially complete today January 20, 2017. Since there was little underground work to do, this project went up fairly quick, totaling 21 months from start to finish.

DenverInfill had extensive ground-level and aerial coverage of Union Tower West. Click on the link below to see a grid of all the previous updates.

Union Tower West Update History

For Part 1 of our final update, we are going to explore the exterior of Union Tower West. The project features a nearly all-glass facade which contrasts nicely with its neighbors. The four-story canopy, featured along the sidewalk, is a nice touch with ample lighting at night. The project also has a three-story above-ground parking structure, enclosed in metal screening.

Here are three aerial views of Union Tower West taken over the past couple of months. Due to the odd shape of the project site, the building has a unique layout. While straight and rectangular on the alley side, the building has multiple setbacks and corners when viewed from the street level. In the third picture, you can see how Union Tower West, the rightmost building, fits into the Union Station development area.

Let’s move in closer and check out the ground level and plaza. The plaza is very inviting with ample sidewalk space for office tenants, hotel guests, and pedestrians passing by.

The plaza contains entries for the main building and the ground-floor retail. The lights in the dark glass box are for a new restaurant, Hearth & Dram, opening January 28th.

For Part 2 of our final update on Union Tower West, we are going to take an inside tour of the Hotel Indigo! Stay tuned!
