A new project is coming to the corner of Park Avenue West and Curtis Street in Downtown Denver’s Curtis Park-Five Pointsdistrict.The project is called the Cornerstone Residences and will serve as transitional housing for up to 51 homeless individuals or couples. To read a detailed description of the building, its mission, and the organizations undertaking the project, please check out the Rocky Mountain Housing Development Corporation’s webpage on the project
here.Thanks to Len for getting the scoop on this project! The new building will sit right on the north corner of Curtis Street and Park Avenue where the existing St. Francis Day Shelter is located. Across Curtis Street is the
Urbans @ Curtisproject, which is wrapping up construction. What a great improvement these two projects will make to that intersection and to the transition between the Curtis Park district and Arapahoe Square!Here’s an image of the new Cornerstone project from architects
Van Tilburg, Banvard & Soderbergh.
I think that’s a pretty sharp building and it will fit in nicely along Park Avenue.
I love this stuff. This is the direction we should take in compassion for the needy. I never want to see Denver get so overwhelmed with major commercialism that it forgets philanthropy.
I remember when everyone was commenting about how the Urbs was being placed across from a homeless day shelter. And looky here, the homeless shelter's being demolished for transitional housing complex, which improve the streetscape by loads.
