X Denver, in Union Station North, is now complete with residents moving in. Before we dive into this final update, we need to clear up a few things with the name of this project and subsequent others that are proposed and under construction. The Union Station North X Denver project was originally split into two phases which were aptly named “X Denver 1” and “X Denver 2.” When the Arapahoe Square X Denver was proposed, the naming sequence continued with “X Denver 3.” Now that the first two buildings are complete, the X Company refers to the first two projects as just “X Denver,” with the third rendition as “X Denver 2.”

Going forward, the Union Station North project will be just “X Denver,” with the Arapahoe Square project as “X Denver 2.” There is also a proposal for a “X Denver 3” on 2000 Welton that we will get to in our next Arapahoe Square Roundup.

Now that we got that cleared up, let’s get to the final update. X Denver is a large co-living development, a concept that has been slowly introduced to Downtown Denver over the past few years. Between both buildings, X Denver provides 813 beds spread out between 455 homes. At 12-stories, these two buildings are also the tallest in Union Station North.

X Denver stands very prominently when viewed from the City of Cuernavaca Park. One of the features we saw back in the official renderings was mural work on the blank elevator cores. This splash of color adds a lot to the facade and is much better than looking at a 12-story slab of concrete.

X Denver is nestled in an already dense neighborhood filling in the backmost lot towards the train tracks. Here are a few more photos from the street level and the Park Avenue viaduct.

Wrapping up, below are a few higher vantage points of the two buildings, including an unobstructed view of the mural and the expansive, multi-level rooftop deck.

As rent prices are still soaring around Denver, co-living does allow many to rent a private space for a much more economical price while still allowing them to embrace the urban lifestyle.

Welcome to Downtown Denver, X Denver!
