Market Station, a near full-block development, is complete with retailers, residents, and tenants moving in. Replacing RTD’s Market Street Station, which closed in 2014, this redevelopment embraces a mixed-use, engaging pedestrian experience, featuring 225 residential homes, 90,000 square feet of office space, and 85,000 square feet of retail. With Dairy Block and McGregor Square just a couple blocks away, Market Station is now the third development featuring great public spaces and ample amounts of retail.
As far as coverage goes, DenverInfill covered Market Station through all the design review and construction stages. Head to the link below to access all of our updates on one page.
Let’s begin our photo tour by highlighting the exterior of the project. Since this wraps around a city block, we will break the photos down by each block. The only existing building on the block is the red brick historic RTD Headquarters.

Retail spaces are starting to get occupied on the perimeter of the project. Chase Bank, T-Mobile, Danner, Thule, and soon the Water Grill are open for business. The central paseo, known as Base Camp, also has an ample amount of retail space. This central plaza is accessible on all four streets.
Currently, only one space is occupied in the paseo by Milk Tea People, serving up fantastic tea-based beverages. Below are a bunch of photos of the center space.
Market Station is another fantastic development in Lower Downtown, activating an additional entire city block inside and out. Congratulations to Continuum Partners, the developer, El Dorado, Dig Studio, and BOKA Powell, the architects, Kiewit, the builder, and everyone else who worked hard on making this project a reality.
Welcome to Downtown Denver, Market Station!
Great Photos of a really fun project. Does anyone know if that interior shopping street gets as much activity as the main streets around this? The photos look pretty empty – although grated that only one store doesn’t help.
Cool! Now downtown needs about 100,000 more residents.
This is a niggling opinion, but branding the paseo with giant signs and neon flashing arrows pointing inside is ridiculous. It’s like a Disney version of reality. You’re supposed to just see it and go in, discover it, kind of an open secret for anyone willing to take the plunge. I don’t know if Americans are too cowed or too inexperienced but I don’t like it.
we were promised a giant raccoon mural I believe. Where is it?!
