Let’s head over to the Golden Triangle, where there are projects aplenty, with more starting soon. Outside of River North, the Golden Triangle has the second largest concentration of tower cranes on the Denver Skyline, with a total of six cranes. Come next year, we will likely see that number increase as there are a handful of projects gearing up.

Last Roundup: Golden Triangle June 2022

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

990 Bannock. With work beginning on the eighth floor, 990 Bannock is officially over halfway in vertical progress. In addition, it’s not very common to see the facade go up almost as quickly as the primary structure, but we can get a peek at the grey and white cladding.

Modera Golden Triangle. This almost block-long project recently broke the height of the street level, with work beginning on the second floor. In the coming years, this part of Golden Triangle will have transformed from 1960s office buildings, with accompanying surface parking lots, to a cluster of residential and mixed-use buildings.

Evans West. At five stories, Evans West is already making quite a statement along Bannock Street. This new 19-story building provides quite the upgrade in density as it replaces a single-story office building and accompanying surface parking lot.

Patten Gray. In our last roundup, we noted that demolition was underway at the corner of 12th Avenue and Delaware Street. Present-day, Patten Gray, formally mentioned as 1158 Delaware, is under construction and has a new tower crane, with work already beginning on the second floor.

PROPOSED

AMLI Golden Triangle. Demolition for a new 16-story project is underway at 8th Avenue and Broadway. A commercial construction permit has yet to be filed for this project, so currently, it will stay in the proposed category as site preparations are still technically underway. However, as demolition wraps up in the coming weeks, we should see those permits come through.

955 Bannock. Site preparations are underway for a new 12-story project across the street from 990 Bannock. The two-story building was recently demolished, and construction equipment has begun to move onto the project site. We should expect to see this project officially start construction soon.

1201 Cherokee. This month, a new proposal at the northwest corner of 12th Avenue and Cherokee Street is going before the Downtown Design Advisory Board. The footprint of this new 19-story tower is relatively small, making it a point tower form, something we have yet to see in the Golden Triangle. Below are some preliminary renderings, extracted from the documents submitted to the board. In addition, the renderings show another project behind 1201 Cherokee that would supplant the block’s remaining large surface parking lot; this is not part of 1201 Cherokee. The point tower is still in the concept plan status but may move forward after the meeting this month; the board has approved the site and massing.

11th & Cherokee. The 23-story project proposed for the northwest corner of West 11th Avenue and Cherokee Street went through design review in June. While this project will replace two low-density buildings, it will cantilever over the existing Cherokee Row building at the corner. Below are a few massing renderings from the documents submitted to the Downtown Design Advisory Board.

1215 Elati. The new 23-story project at 1215 Elati is moving along, with a site development plan filed in July. The lot currently contains some surface parking and low-density buildings. The project went through design review for massing; however, no renderings are available at this time.

That’s a wrap for the Golden Triangle. While many of the concept plans filed in June have been inactive for some time, it is exciting to see some development moving forward.
