It goes something like:

or
CLXII
or
The square root of 26244

But what do I know?

Haha. Nice.

She looks to be quite tall and a beauty.

Any guesses on why the start date 9 months out? Time for design review because they aren't using anything close to what was proposed before? Scheduling for the contractor or EW? Funding?

Given that the Canopy brand is a boutique concept of Hilton's and that such hotels are generally 200 rooms or so, I'm going to go with the planned hotel at 20th & Chestnut Street (which has been reported to be a Hilton Garden Inn). Block 162 seems to be slated for a 500-plus room hotel and would be more suited to a flagship Hilton, something that downtown is lacking.

So, I'm going to call Ryan's speculation as being erroneous.

EDIT: Too, slow, BG918 beat me to it. Will leave them anyway. It looks like they got rid of the direct Millennium bridge connection.

I'm glad that the Death Star architects are still getting work after that thermal exhaust port disaster.

patco · #**5936** Posted **Oct 12, 2015, 3:31 PM**

I agree about the Hilton Canopy brand not making sense on block 162. They tend to be in cooler/hip/young areas. There is a listing on the latest development services report about a hotel on 16th btw Central and Boulder. The size and vibe seem right but the hilton press release says "Hilton Canopy - Denver Downtown" and not sure they would call this lohi location downtown...

Lots of exciting news today! There is some great info on the for-sale DUS project here - https://www.denvergov.org/content/dam/de...tesy_SD_Package_Final_20150929_Part1.pdf

wong21fr · #**5937** Posted **Oct 12, 2015, 3:37 PM**

BusinessDen is reporting that B Block will indeed be a for-sale project:

345 condos planned for Union Station

Amstar did buy the parcel from E/W Continuum a few month ago and is a partner in the project. Which is interesting because it seems that Amstar is exclusively focused on multifamily rentals and not for-sale projects. Can anyone find something that says otherwise?

bunt_q · #**5938** Posted **Oct 12, 2015, 3:54 PM**

I'm just glad that stupid second level connection directly to the Millennium Bridge appears to be gone. That was (is) infuriating, that they could co-opt such a public space for private use.

SandSailor · #**5939** Posted **Oct 12, 2015, 10:23 PM**

With Davita taking 6 stories in the new building, is there any chance they up the height? Or is it set in stone? Did they know about Davita when they initially proposed this building?

PLANSIT · #**5940** Posted **Oct 12, 2015, 10:25 PM**

^ Zoning allows for 250', which this building will max out.
