Before we begin our roundup on Baker, I would like to clear the air with some feedback we have received over the past few weeks. DenverInfill is a labor of love and volunteer effort by myself and Ken. The past two months have been incredibly busy with other aspects of life, and with the time commitment it takes to deliver you quality photos and posts, DenverInfill did not make it into the schedule during this time. Thank you, in advance, for understanding that there might be some inactivity from time to time.

Now, let’s check out what’s going on in Baker, as many new infill activities are taking place.

COMPLETED

Rye SoBo. Formally known as PDG Design District, Rye SoBo is mostly complete, with residents now living in the building. We mention that it’s mostly complete because the building is opening in phases, with the last phase opening in the coming months. Since the exterior work is complete, and the building is occupied, we are marking this as complete.

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

AMLI Broadway Park. Since our last update, AMLI Broadway Park has topped out, with some facade elements starting to show. While the photos below show two tower cranes at the project site, one has since been taken down. A new plaza, named Mercado Plaza, will also open upon completion of this project, with the ground floor retail provided in this building will face the plaza. AMLI Broadway Park and Mercado Plaza are expected to be complete in 2023.

Atlantis Community Phase II. Situated directly behind the first phase of the Atlantis Apartments, The Atlantis Community has kicked off construction for their second phase of homes. Replacing a warehouse, this new project provides 84 affordable homes for those with disabilities. Present-day, the wood framing is going vertical, with portions of the project topped off.

360 N Acoma. Lennar Multifamily Communities is expanding their presence into the Baker neighborhood. This new project, located at the intersection of West 4th Street and Acoma Street, replaces an old office building and accompanying surface parking lot. While there is still some facade work to do, this project is nearing completion.

PROPOSED

301 S Cherokee. At the southwest corner of West Alameda Avenue and South Cherokee Street, a new seven-story apartment project has been proposed and will replace a pharmaceutical company’s industrial plant. No firm construction timeline has been announced, but it will add to the already growing Broadway Marketplace and Alameda Station area.

Here are a couple of present-day photos of the project site.

And a couple of preliminary renderings.

Parcel 2B. While there aren’t any formal plans submitted for this parcel, D4 Urban, the master developer of Broadway Marketplace, has released a couple of renderings highlighting a concept of what could go on this parcel. Parcel 2B is located directly south of Rye SoBo, terminating at Dakota Avenue. Ground-floor retail would line the base of the project along Dakota Avenue and the future Mercado Plaza. This concept shows a 12-story building that would feature around 290 apartment or condo homes.

Here are a couple of photos showing the parcel. The construction equipment on-site is staging for AMLI Broadway Park next door.

Camden Yard. A large warehouse, spanning an entire city block at 50 South Kalamath Street, was recently torn down. Plans are slowly making their way through the city, but the details are still pretty sparse. Currently, the plans call for a five-story apartment building wrapped around an above-ground parking garage.

That’s a wrap for Baker! It’s exciting seeing all this development, especially in the Broadway Marketplace area.
