A new project, named Steel House, at 3100 Brighton is making its way through the city’s permitting process. On Monday, November 1st, all the necessary construction permits were submitted to the city. A single-story building that occupied the northeast corner of 31st Street and Brighton Boulevard has since been demolished.
Below are a few photos of the project site. A marketing banner for Steel House has recently gone up around the fence, giving a good indication that this project is very likely to get underway.
Earlier in the year, it seemed like development slowed for office buildings; however, they are gaining momentum again. Steel House will provide 300,000 square feet of office space contained in a 12-story building. In addition, approximately 11,000 square feet of ground-floor retail will be part of the development, along with 500 parking spaces in a five-story parking podium.
Here are a few renderings of the exterior. For a full tour and many more renderings of the project, head on over to the project’s website. Beacon Capital Partners and Elevation Development Group are the developers, with Open Studio Architecture and Morris Adjmi Architects as the architects. The permit does not show a record for the general contractor just yet. We will update this post once we obtain that information.
DenverInfill has been mostly groundbreaking news the past two weeks, and we are still not done yet. It’s impressive to see so much development get underway in our great city.
Great stuff keeps coming…I wish a rendering was available of the Brighton-facing façade to show ground floor activation (or not).
Now THIS design is definitely a step up for the area, as is Flora – you love to see it! Finally our land values are resulting in some lovely developments.
This looks great. But I will be really excited when there is a development in Denver that does not have parking. Just saying.
Wow, another great design for the area and it’ll break up some of the monotony that’s been taking over on Brighton. I’ve always thought 31st was a good spot for an underpass, but wishful thinking.
Cool building ruined by an awful podium. Really wish they would have done something different on the sides facing the street. Ideally they would have made the parking a little more compact so those two walls could contain actual occupied areas with a facade that matches the floors above.
oooh f this is office? are we still building those? dang… agree with the podium, it’s garbage… nice two dead floors above the street = no street activation
I mean, with the name of iron HOUSE, of course it would be office, right?
I think the design is better than most around town. I’m shocked they are building speculative office space. Aren’t most of the recent builds still sitting mostly vacant?
While I love seeing this new development, is there no requiem for the loss of another long-time business along Brighton (once called Wewatta Street in this section)–Do It Urself Plumbing was on this corner? I spent many hours in that place working with their great kitchen and bathroom space planners and designers. This was a great resource and it’s sad to see it go away. They were truly hands-on and helpful there.
Cry me a river. Welcome to a free market capitalist economy. This land is SO much more valuable as a 300,000 SF office that will generate hundreds of thousands of full time jobs and further accelerate the Denver economy. All for local & small business support, but not at the expense of future growth and job creation. And yeahhhhh I think the plumber shop was sitting in a gold mine, good for them.
Jerry, I completely agree with you and hope the plumbers are enjoying their retirement somewhere on a beach. That being said I don’t think this project will generate “hundreds of thousands of jobs”.
Steel Haus
The cool building was destroyed by a sloppy podium. I really wish they had put something different in the sides that face the street. Ideally, they could make the parking smaller size so that the two walls could have been real occupied spaces with a facade that is similar to the flooring above.
