Back in January, we announced one of the first projects, 600 Park Avenue, going through the new Arapahoe Square Design Advisory Board. Head on over to that announcement post for more details on the advisory board. In just over a month, 600 Park Avenue is back up for design review. The new 71-page submittal contains a lot of information, and provides a lot of detailed information about every aspect of the project. To access the report, follow this link.

As a quick refresher, 600 Park Avenue is a 13-story, 238-unit apartment project going up at Park Avenue West and Welton Street.

For this update, we are going to be skimming the surface of the submittal documents and comparing the first renderings to the new renderings. One of the most noticeable changes is the setback from the top floor to the roof-line.

The old rendering is on the left (first image on mobile), the new on the right (second image on mobile).

The two white columns, that run along the entire height of the building, have gone from a solid color to something more defined and textured. The white paneling on the rest of the building also appears to have been darkened to more of a light grey color.

The old rendering is on the left (first image on mobile), the new on the right (second image on mobile).

Here is one last perspective of 600 Park Avenue when viewed from Lawson Park along Park Avenue West. The most notable changes, in this comparison, are the color scheme and the facade setback at the top.

What’s next for 600 Park Avenue? According to the submittal documents: “The proposed project nearly conforms to all the Design Standards and Guidelines. With the approval of the presented modifications, Staff recommends Approval with Conditions to incorporate additional modifications to the street-level planters and the top-of-building brick detailing.” Once we have information in regards to the final design review and / or construction, we will revisit this project.
