One City Block Gets Moving

Over in the Uptown neighborhood, One City Block’s construction is in full swing and has been making quick progress since its groundbreaking.

Seeing an entire city block being built out is truly an amazing sight. The impact this is going to make on the area is huge. As far as scale is concerned, it will be very similar to the elevations of Uptown Square on the adjacent block.

Foundation work is beginning on the North half of the project. One City Block also adds yet another tower crane to our skyline which are starting to become a very familiar sight around downtown; always a great sign of booming development.

Taxi II Nearing Completion


http://www.deernsamerica.com/project...buildings/taxi

Developer Mickey Zeppelin has been called daring and visionary, his projects edgy and off-center. The same has been said of his son and partner, Kyle, who joined him 12 years ago.

Many people raised their eyebrows when, in 2000, Zeppelin Development began focusing on a tangle of rail yards, stockyards, cement plants and flour mills near Brighton Boulevard along the South Platte River — an area that had been off the development radar.

The results of their effort can now be seen at Taxi.

What once was a gritty piece of real estate on the west bank of the river has become the centerpiece of the growing River North — or RiNo — neighborhood.

A sixth building in Zeppelin's 20-acre Taxi complex is scheduled to open Nov. 1. Called Drive, the four-story structure has 38,000 square feet of office space, includes a salon and two restaurants and is fully preleased.

It will increase Taxi's total space — office, retail and residential — to 210,000 square feet.

"All of it is occupied," said Mickey Zeppelin, 75, now in his 40th year as a developer in urban Denver.

1650 Wewatta St. Closer To Groundbreaking


http://www.denver-cityscape.com/

9/13/12 - The 1650 Wewatta Street project [first described in the 7/11/12 post] is moving closer to construction. The project design has been finalized and will now include 21 floors, with an overall height of 230 feet. The project will include retail facing 17th Street, with the apartment lobby and parking entrance facing Wewatta. Four levels of parking will be located above the ground floor, followed by 17 floors of apartments. The project will include 300 units. It has been designed by Shears Adkins and Rockmore Architects. The developer is Holland Residential. Holland Construction will build the project. Construction should start in the 4th quarter of 2012.

So by the looks of it, another new Union Station district building? How much is there already planned for those 6 or so blocks straddling the new bus station? Any plans for Market Street Station once all that opens?

There is a LOT of development planned around Union Station after it's completed:

Offices, hotels, apartments, condos and hopefully some decent retail will be going up. (final designs and massings will be different than that pictured)


As for the Market St. Bus Station, when it's finally replaced by the new bus terminal at Union Station, there are prliminary plans for mixed use development of the property but as yet, nothing concrete. Stay tuned...

1650 Wewatta

Holland Partner Group, the firm wrapping up construction on the Line 28 project at 16th & Boulder in Lower Highland, is bullish on Denver. So bullish, in fact, that they are set to begin construction late 2012/early 2013 on their next Denver project: 1650 Wewatta.

1650 Wewatta is a 21-story apartment building to be constructed at the corner of 17th and Wewatta, immediately adjacent to the Commuter Rail Train Hall currently under construction behind Union Station. The project represents about one-third of what’s called the “A” Block development site at Union Station, an L-shaped parcel located between Wewatta and the historic station from 16th to 17th streets. 1650 Wewatta will anchor the part of the “L” closest to the 17th Street spine of the DUS transit district. Two additional components of the “A” Block, office and hotel projects, will eventually complete the parcel.

These are the final approved renderings of 1650 Wewatta, courtesy of Erik at Holland Partners and Kristen, Mike, and Andy at Shears Adkins Rockmore. First, here’s a view looking southeast, with Wewatta Street in the foreground and the historic station and commuter rail platforms in the background. To the right is the shadow-massing of the future hotel/office portion of the parcel.

Yeah, Denver's red hot right now with TONS of apartments going up. Nothing as tall as in Austin mind, but when the condo market recovers I'd expect to see some splashy talls announced.

Great pics DesertPunk! I'm very excited for the new developments finally coming online. I hope with more skyscrapers (and the density they inherently bring to the table) will create more affordable housing for younger people. I know the Millennial generation prefers living near each other in urban cores so this could help those that could not otherwise afford to live there.

16th and Market Project off to a start:

Posted by Ken Schroeppel on November 30, 2012


Back in April 2012, we reported on the new mixed-use office/apartment project, known then as 1350 16th Street, proposed for the corner of 16th and Market in Lower Downtown Denver, site of the downtown Office Depot for many years. Since then, the project has received its approvals from the city and the Office Depot has moved to its new home in the EPA Building at 16th and Wynkoop. Today, demolition began on the former Office Depot building, perhaps one of the ugliest buildings in Downtown Denver and infamous for its nearly block-long blank wall along Market Street.

In its place will be 16M, the new name for the project being developed by Integrated Properties, Sage Hospitality, Elevation Development Group, and designed by Gensler. 16M will include 130,000 square feet of office space (floors 2-6), about 47 apartment units on floors 7-10, ground-floor retail, and three levels of underground parking.

New Union Station District Project: 1601 Wewatta





Posted by Ken Schroeppel on December 10, 2012


Today, we’re covering 1601 Wewatta, a 280,000-SF office building proposed for Denver’s Union Station district.

1601 Wewatta is being developed by Hines and Jordon Perlmutter & Company, with leasing handled by CBRE. The 10-story project is located at the corner of 16th and Wewatta in the Denver metro area’s hottest real estate market: Downtown Denver’s Union Station district. The development is planned to break ground in early/mid-2013. Here’s the project site annotated on a GoogleEarth aerial:



In addition to its primary office use, 1601 Wewatta will also feature 17,000 SF of retail space on the ground floor, which will significantly help with the activation of the sidewalks and the public realm within the Union Station area. The project also includes 435 parking spaces on four levels of underground parking.
