In July, we announced that Seattle-based Unico Properties is continuing to expand its presence with a proposed mixed-use project, 14 Wynkoop, located along Cherry Creek between Wazee and Wynkoop streets. Just like the 1600 Market Hotel, 14 Wynkoop is also making its rounds through the Lower Downtown Design Review Board (LDDRB). For full details on this project, please head on over to our announcement post.

In its next round of design review, 14 Wynkoop has an approval with conditions. From the submittal documents, here are the conditions:

  • That the corner column at the ground floor on Wazee Street be replaced with a rectilinear pier in plane with the glazing above.
  • That the storefront and garage/loading doors at the ground floor on Wazee Street be recessed no more than 5’-0” from the building façade.
  • That the projecting balconies on the south elevation be inset balconies

Besides those three conditions, this means we are getting very close to the final design from a massing, materials and facade standpoint. Designed by OZ Architecture, here are some new renderings of the project. As stated above, one of the conditions is that the balconies are to be inset on the south elevation, which is pictured below. Between the glass and brick, 14 Wynkoop is going to make a great impact along Cherry Creek.

Here is the Wazee Street view and the main entrance to the building at the street level.

I am sure we will see one more round of renderings before this project starts. Overall, this is turning out to be a great project!
