999 17th had such potential. Is the office portion still going to be built sooon?

They are actively marketing the office portion now so to me it looks like it will probably happen fairly soon after they finish the apartment tower. The construction fencing around the site is covered with renderings for just the office portion, and "coming soon" and all of that.

guys can we please not include in an original post of a lot of pictures to type out a response? It just eats up bandwidth and screen on both ends and adds zero value.

Do you still use DSL or something ?

It's pretty obnoxious on mobile, which is pretty much what most people use these days.

The pics are great, though!

Agreed.

For the record, I'll chime in in agreement here. There is absolutely no need to include an entire set of photos in a quote, especially when the thread hasn't even moved on to the next page yet. Maybe just pick your favorite, or reduce the quote to an interesting slice of text somebody wrote. It's just redundant to re-post a bunch of pictures that are already on the page and makes the whole page more difficult to read. We can all see the pictures in the OP.

When I commented on that particular post it automatically inserted the set of photos. Given that, and the fact that the site lists rules for posting proper credit for photos, I assumed all image content from the original post had to be included in the comment. Sorry about that.

Sorry, my words weren't as much directed at you, as just a general statement since this is something that is very common on these forums. I also missed that you've only posted 8 times, so I didn't mean to sound unwelcoming!

I see photo re-posts all the time, especially outside of the mountain west subforum, but I've seen it here too. It has killed off interest on a few photo-threads on the My City Photos section before. I have just never found it to be entirely necessary and think a simple shout-out to the original author should be enough.

^^^^ The other courtesy for those posts that have both comment and images is to "reply" but erase/delete the images - like I did with pablosan just above.

PhilipDDG... At least you've been noticed and yes, W E L C O M E
Oh, and another heads up about the thread...

Not in Denver, at least not yet.

Sprawling metro areas are growing faster than anywhere else in the US
April 6, 2017 By Bryan Rodda - Greater Greater Washington

Across the US, people flocked to urban cores in the early 2010s. But lately, growth has picked up in outer, less dense suburban places, particularly in the nation’s most sprawling metro areas in the South and Southwest. This comes from the Census Bureau’s 2016 population estimates for the nation’s metropolitan areas and counties, which came out in March.

Are ominous clouds gathering?

Across the country, sprawl is beating out density. In large, dense urban counties, many existing residents are moving out

For urbanists, the 2015-2016 estimates present a double-whammy of concern: growth in large, dense urban counties has slowed down significantly, and it has picked up in low-density, sprawling suburban places.

It is true ofc that people who live in the suburbs and rural areas are happier than the people who live in dense city centers.
