Under-Construction/Proposed
-Four Seasons Hotel & Residence:
45-stories, plus three smaller "lantern decks". It is currently designed to top out at 565'-10" to the Crown, with the spire extending above that for a structural height of 640'-10" -- it will cost $350 million - which will make it the most expensive privately funded building ever built in downtown Denver. Currently Under-Construction

-Two Tabor Center:
Tabor I was built in the late 1980's and the foundation for "Two Tabor Center" was also poured. Now, finally a building is going to be built on that foundation! This project has been increased from 38-stories (514' tall) to 43-stories (~612' tall) and seems to be a green light for starting sometime in 2008. ***Visit This Projects Website, Click Here!***
BUILDING FACTS:
Class: “AA”
Building Size: up to 837,000 SF
Typical Floor Plate: 20,000
No. of Floors: 43 stories - ~612' tall
Completion Date: 2010 (2008 Start Date)
Architect: Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates
Parking: 1/1000
LEED Certified
 
Latest rumor (10-01-08) is that Callahan Capital Partners landed financing for the 43-story Two Tabor Center, just prior to the stock market crash and bank bailout. The rumor is that this project should break ground in January of 2009 or shortly thereafter, with building completion now pushed back to 2011. This is a very good rumor and it comes from some fairly reliable sources. However, we can't help but think Callahan Capital Partners is treading very carefully, trying to avoid thin ice. Ultimately, the Denver office market remains rated one of the best in the world and the location of Two Tabor Center is the best location in Denver. It is practically a guarantee that this tower will stay filled with tenants.

They will be ordering steel for Tabor II this year (2008) to be on track for building completion in 2011. That's what the latest rumors are saying,; that this project has been delayed a year probably because of the slower economy. There has been recent activity at the site and they do seem to be gearing up for a foundation upgrades. Such building permits (shoring permits) have already been submitted for approval. Furthermore, a rumor has it the Qwest is looking at other options when it's lease for 1.2 million sq.ft. expires at 1801 California in 2012 and that downsizing into 850,000 sq.ft. at two Tabor Center is one of those options. If this plays out right, there is potential for this building to grow taller and perhaps into Denver's new tallest.
-Spire:
41 stories and 477' 11" tall, to the structural top. Spire will include 503 condos and 714 bedrooms. The Spire will be one of the tallest [100%] residential towers between Chicago and Las Vegas. This building will cost $175 million to construct.
Currently Under-Construction.

The two buildings would be connected by a 7 story parking structure. Ground floor retail is proposed along all three street frontages. Additional information should be available in the spring of 2008, if the project moves forward.

The project, known as 999 17th Street, would include a 350,000 SF office tower at the corner of 17th and Curtis and a tower of similar size at 18th and Curtis with possibly hotel and residential uses.
I've known about this project for many months but, since confidentiality was requested, I haven't blogged about it--which was tough to do since it's such an exciting development! I haven't yet obtained permission to post the project renderings.
An entire half block of surface parking in the core Downtown along 17th Street--our "Wall Street of the Rockies"--could go away and be replaced with a vibrant mixed-use high-rise complex. Sweet!

Downtown tower makeover to offer luxury-size units
It takes its name from Dutch artist Piet Mondrian, who lived from 1872 to 1944 and was a "post- modernist-type known for his clean lines and angular shapes," Osborn said.
The 15-story, triangular building, two blocks from the 16th Street Mall, is in an area where Osborn hopes to create a neighborhood that he is calling Lincoln Park.
