DENVER | Main Development Thread #7

[SirLucasTheGreat]

Does anyone know where the Denver In-N-Out location is being planned for? I read an article about the Lone Tree location and they indicated that Denver was one of 6 other Colorado locations in the planning phase. I don't really care for In-N-Out but if they opened a location at Market Station that would really catalyze other retail options there.

I recall Stapleton/Northfield, N off the Central Park Exit

[SirLucasTheGreat]

I guess that makes sense given the suburban nature of their current locations. Wasn't sure if they would opt for a more urban environment

Nope. Central Park is more popular than Market Station right now.


Hell.... we're getting a Snooze and a QuikTrip!

Wow, QT is coming.

QT prices for gas will be (at least) a penny lower than say 7-Eleven; the exception would be when prices are on the move (like recently), then it depends on timing of deliveries. Not counting independent's the exception for better prices would be Costco or Sam's Club which typically run a (minimum) nickel lower.

Great stores; other than Kroger stores (down here), QT has the latest and quickest credit card processing equipment. Quite snappy!

We're getting a Snooze? Where? Not that it probably matters. I've only been able to get into one once in my life. On a workday, 9 am, and still had to wait 45 minutes.

I'd rather we got a WaWa than a QuikTrip. Mostly because I just like saying "WaWa"

I got another one of those itches

I drew a total blank when trying to recall this site, which made me suspicious. What if something nefarious was going on?

From 2012
This site was part of a land assemblage listed for sale back in 2012.

This is a compilation of 11 parcels. Zoned D-AS and located in the Five Points Redevelopment district this property offers great flexibility to developers. With the Light Rail running along Welton Street this is a great opportunity for a mixed use project.

Located between 21st and Park Avenue West on Welton Street. In the historic Five Points District.

From January, 2017
Ryan Dravitz/DenverInfill had the 'breaking' story. They had a very good reason for their 'heightened' interest.

Last year, the Arapahoe Square Design Advisory Board was formed by the city and they are busy reviewing new projects, such as the one we are featuring today. This board will make sure that projects in Arapahoe Square meet zoning and design guidelines. Head on over to their website for more details about the board and design guidelines. 600 Park Avenue, a 13-story, 238-unit apartment building, is one of the first projects reviewed by the board.

From October of 2018
https://www.bizjournals.com/denver/news/...venue-apartments-five-points-denver.html

600 Park Avenue, as it's called on plans submitted to the city, will be a 13-story building with 45 studio units, 147 one-bedroom units, and 46 two-bedroom units. Kansas City-based Alsation Land Co. is the developer, according to those plans.

The parcel it will be constructed on is currently a parking lot, which Alsation purchased back in January for $5.163 million, according to Denver County public records.

From August, 2019

Greystar Acquires Site of New Multifamily Project in Denver

The Carlton Group, an international real estate investment banking firm, advised the seller, Alsation Multifamily Group, on the investment sales transaction

But if you think Alsation plans to take their money and run; think again. Oh no, they aren't going anywhere; they're sticking around to make sure Greystar does a nice job.

The property was acquired by Greystar and Alsation will participate with Greystar in the development of the project as a joint venture partner

My 'deep state' question
is who the heck is The Carlton Group? It seemed to ring a distant bell like I may have read about them somewhere. Small potatoes, who cares? Think again.

CARLTON RAISES MORE THAN $2 BILLION AT 20 TIMES SQUARE AND 1568 BROADWAY IN TIMES SQUARE, NEW YORK
May 4, 2015

See 20 Times Square; see 1568 Broadway Times Square NYC. Notice they're adjacent properties.

At this point I don't want to ask anymore questions. I've been watching too many Martin Scorsese movies on Netflix.

that would be amazing. Also a store without a drive through would prevent them from overflowing and clogging the street.

In-N-Out traffic suuuucks

Who on here knows about how leasing works in new developments?
I walked by McGregor Square and was thinking about the Tattered Cover and if they got a huge rent break to move in there and make it attractive to future residents? I know each deal is different but I'm just curious if it's standard to lure good retail to new residential buildings so that the future tenants see some inviting places to visit in their own building.

I saw there was a construction permit filed for 3000 N Huron St. 13 story apartment building. Does anyone know what that’s supposed to look like?

Found this image from an article on an equity partner of the developer, CA Residential. The details in the article match with what's currently proposed:

Here are some concept renderings from the 38th & Fox area. Not sure how valid these are.

Building permit issued for 625 Santa Fe Drive. Renderings are pretty blah.

I bet the combed concrete and wood paneling will look dated from day 1 and age poorly. Maybe they will at least build out the sidewalk/streetscape to the new extents bound by the traffic bollards and kickstart that transformation.

I really wish the new mixed use on Santa Fe could at least match the street presence of the Villas de Barela development (northwest corner 10th and SF that used to house Interstate restaurant.) Two stories of contextually appropriate brick and glass and good corner treatment on that building totally distract from, and partially make up for, the ultra cheap finish on the top two floors.

That building on Santa Fe would be great if the facade were used as an art canvas. Otherwise, pretty boring design. However, the Santa Fe arts district is booming and I feel like we don't generally discuss it here. Aren't there 3 to 5 projects under active construction just along that strip?

I can count 5 under construction or about to start:

Material staging looks to be behind the old Stone Pony/Hoffbrau Tavern, about 100 feet from my alley gate. Guess I will have a crane operator looking down into my back yard for the next year plus, putting a kink in my wife's sunbathing habits.

801 W 6th Ave 'Inca Commons' (just off Santa Fe)
This one is nearly finished affordable condos facilitated by Elevation Community Land Trust and Urban Land Conservancy. No rendering found.

At the far end of the neighborhood, The rezoning is complete at 1010 W. Colfax and 1443 Kalamath. Site development sub plans are still working through the process but the retail is all vacant and boarded.

[SirLucasTheGreat]

Thanks for posting the breakdown and those renderings. I hope the three ladies that seem to comprise the entire workforce for El Taco de Mexico are able to hire some help because there is a lot of residential density coming their way.

[gopokes21]

Radian has a few renderings on their website - it's also just topped out in the last month or so. It's not ornate. Very streamlined design so that the lower-income buyers aren't saddled with a lot of maintenance.

That 1225 Arts District Flats/Hub project looks great. Hopefully it gets built as shown.

[Interzen]

Thanks for the rendering and link gopokes21. I really like the materials choice and the design is plenty adequate for that location and use.

My bad, that was the rendering for 1275 Santa Fe. Definitely looks like a step up from 1225 if it gets built as rendered.

Here is a rendering of 1225.

Here is what it looks like now:
