If this is true then it is sad to see Domo go. If student housing is to fill the south half of the block then it seems a little more attention should be given to street presence between there and campus. Then again I have been waiting forever for something to happen on that lot. They have already started moving earth. For soil tests I assume.

Are you sure about student housing being built south of 14th Ave? Looking at the plans for 'Wellington Apartments', it makes me think that they may actually be the student housing. Based on those plans, 211 of the 253 units are four bedroom apartments, with another five 3-bedroom, and 23 2-bedroom units. That is a lot of bedrooms for a typical apartment being built in Denver today.

Good point but according to what has been presented to the Lincoln Park Neighborhood Association there are 2 separate projects proposed for the 1400 block of Osage, both on the west side and spanning the entire block between them. Here is a copy of a next door thread with the names redacted for privacy:

Hello neighbors!
Anybody know what is going on the plot of land at osage and colfax next to Domo? Land has been vacant since the dinosaurs were roaming. Kinda exciting to see some action going on there.

No, the Student Housing complex is at the other end of he block. 14th and Osage. Domo is unfortunately getting torn down. So there will be 2 complexes on the 1400 block of Osage. Big Time Density

XXXXXXXXXXXXX from Lincoln Park · 2d ago
I haven't seen a proposal YYYYYY. The LPNA knows who the builder is, I will see what info I can gather for you.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYY from Lincoln Park · 2d ago
Wow! Very interesting. Thank you XXXXXXX

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE from Baker · 1d ago
Are you serious about Domo???!!!!???? But...Aikido.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF from Lincoln Park · 1d ago
A friend went to Domo to ask what was up. They said that Domo currently doesn't want to sell. The lot adjacent to Domo will be developed and the developer offered to buy Domo, but they are holding out right now.

My understanding is that domo sold. And a collegiate housing complex is going there

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF from Lincoln Park · 1d ago
My friend went there for lunch today and the server said that they got an offer but turned it down.

Hope I didn't clutter up the thread too much but this all seemed relevant.

P.S. anyone wanting to unmask any of the individuals above should file a FISA request.
P.P.S. Feel that great YIMBY vibe flowing in my neighborhood.

I just read this immediately after breakfast and almost lost it all over my keyboard. Please could use a movie style rating system such as "viewer discretion advised, scenes of architectural effrontery, full frontal concrete wallery, violation of the senses"

Just when I thought that the 70s were gone.

Cellphone shot of the 7th and Grant site. Leveled the row of homes.

Anyone know what's going on at 24th & Stout behind the Xcel substation? The lot is fenced off and excavation is currently underway.

I've been hearing rumors of a potential mid-rise condo tower next to the Governor's Mansion on Logan, anyone know anything?

The plans certainly look like the project is apartments positioned as student housing. Also, here's a rendering from the architects page:

Looks like the Denver Post is moving out of downtown. Awesome.

Nice. They can change their name to the Adams County Post and call it a day.

“We are seriously considering such a move as part of our budget process,” Post President and CEO Mac Tully said in a note to the staff. “However, we have not made a final decision on the move and are still weighing all options.”

Wonder how those facts came out of the hearing.

On the bright side, they're only a block from River North Brewery. Oh, and there's a McDonald's just down the street!

What the Post down to at their building? A floor? Half a floor?

Looks like Denver is getting another hotel. I am a fan of this proposal and addition.

Wow. But what about the coal stack? I'll kinda miss that touch of old-time Denver. Otherwise, intriguing infill.

I think someone asked this earlier: Any update on the redevelopment of the RTD bus station on Market? It's getting pretty forlorn in that block.

With Dairy Block wrapping up this should be the new favorite project.

Hopefully a downtown Apple store would follow.

Interesting. But how much better would it be if Apple decided to build their own store somewhere in the vicinity?

A W Hotel was being discussed for this building a couple years ago (after being planned for 16th & Market back in 2008). I don't know if that is still the case though but it would be a nice addition.
