While we mentioned a new Union Station project back in December, as part of our Proposed Residential Roundup, we didn’t have too many details for the gravel lot at 19th and Chestnut. Today, we have a pretty significant update along with some renderings.
The scope of this project has slightly changed from when we first mentioned it. In terms of height, it will now be 13-stories instead of the originally mentioned 12. The unit count has also changed from 222 to 198. The count decreased because there will be a variety of unit types versus the originally planned micro units.
On April 26, the Denver Planning Board met to review this project and a bunch of renderings came with the submittal documents. Let’s start out with renderings of the rooftop space and ground level. The architect on record is Shears Adkins Rockmore.
The facade for this project consists of brick and concrete. Below are many more renderings from multiple vantage points.
The three remaining developable lots in Union Station all reside at 19th and Chestnut. This project will take the furthest back lot towards the train tracks. Here is a fresh photo of the parcel.
The timeline for construction is still unknown however, it is making its way though the city’s permitting process. The first portion of a building permit was filed on April 14. Let’s hope we can see this one go vertical!
Build it!
Ryan, has there been any update on the two condo towers that were meant to replace the Shelby’s building? If I recall correctly, they had said they were looking to begin development “sometime after the Super Bowl” … which was referring to Super Bowl 53. Now a full year and a half has gone by since then, seemingly with no movement, which has me worried :\
Last I heard they were still working towards groundbreaking within the next few months. There is some, but slow, activity on the permitting side. But with COVID-19, things might be a bit delayed.
Good to know, thanks for the update! (and stay safe)
Thanks for the hyperlinks to the architectural documents. Very cool to see the thought and detail that went into the various elements of the design. I would love to see this project break ground this year!
I think I must be hallucinating. Are there really only twelve parking spaces in that building? Have we finally turned the corner? Is a major building going to prove that parking is a waste of money?
And 30 bike storage spaces?!? This is great news!!
love the materials, now if they get some big leafy vines climbing up those bricks
We live in Denver, so would you settle for some bindweed on those bricks?
