The triangular lot at 14th and Court in Upper Downtown is cleared, fenced off, and ready for construction. We briefly mentioned this project in what feels like a different era in time and included a basic concept rendering of the project. Fast-forward to the present day, the same project, now named Populus, is expected to break ground by the end of the month.

Below are some current photos of the project site showing that construction fences have been erected, with site prep underway.

In addition, here are a few more photos taken from a higher vantage point showing the project site and its surroundings.

Now for the exciting part. Urban Villages, the project’s developer, is planning to build a 13-story, 265-room hotel. While the density on this small lot is nice to see, the design of the building is icing on the cake. Made to resemble Aspen trees, Populus features a bold design that will become one of the most unique buildings to reside in Downtown Denver. Below are a couple of renderings of Populus. Studio Gang is behind the stunning architecture of this project.

Here is one additional rendering of Populus.

With groundbreaking right around the corner, it will be a thrill to see this project rise!
