Typically we would include AVA RiNo in a River North round-up post however, in the South quadrant, this is the only project showing any activity.
When we last visited AVA RiNo in June, work was progressing on the underground level. Present-day, the project has topped out, with facade work underway. Let’s start with a few photos from Lawrence Street, between 26th and 27th Street. Here we can see the basic form of the building with the complete roof-line and setbacks.
Over on Arapahoe Street, AVA RiNo features a more unique roof-line and chamfered corners at each intersection. Here we can also see the brick facade starting to go up.
Once complete, AVA RiNo will provide the neighborhood with 246 homes.

Well that’s nice seems like the construction industry is kind of struggling along but nearly as active as last year. Now if the population could stop having babies and allowing for natural mortalities to occur without the influx for 20 say years there should be enough of even affordable housing for everyone. But as much as the pandemic is threatening to take out most of the small to medium business sector how many remaining population will be able to afford anything that banks are willing to finance. I guess we can say goodbye to density of most proportions due to future caution for distancing opening up allowances for work from home. Maybe sprawl ends up being the answer. Sorry I’m sounding pretty negative but how are we going to realistic?

EDENS just recently acquired some additional property near this in the RiNo “south quadrant.” They actually appear to have acquired demolition eligibility permits for all the lots on 2520 Larimer through 2644 Larimer street. That land is currently the IMAC building, some VOA buildings, Joe’s Liquor store, a single-family house, and some abandoned lots. Obviously very early in the process, but EDENS could potentially double their commercial real estate footprint with these acquisitions. I think they have done a great job at the Central Market and the surrounding retail (e.g., il posto, patagonia, burton). I’m hopeful they can match the quality of what they have built so far and provide more retail and restaurants. Such a development would balance out the new residential being added in the area. Also a good sign that the wheels are still moving in the area.
