Tons going on here. Particularly around Campus West and the area adjacent to CSU’s New Stadium. I like the freedom architects have with development in these areas. The mountain and contemporary architecture would never fly downtown. People really struggle accepting anything other than Victorian architecture here.
Here’s a quick rundown of some of they developments happening in the Campus West neighborhood. I finally have some time off. Hopefully I can snap some construction pics in the next few days. Downtown and Midtown happenings to follow.
Campus West Update

Of the many large scale developments in the works, “The Standard” is the largest. This project is directly across from CSU’s new stadium and will require the demolition of six single family homes and three 60’s era multifamily apartment buildings. The Standard’s two buildings are both 5 floors in height with 245 residential units between them. The building fronting Lake Street and the stadium will feature ground floor retail. This development is surrounded by several other projects including The Stadium Apartments and The Aspen Apartments.
