how sad is it that i live a mere 5 blocks from the project and really don't know anything going on there? i mean, i've driven by it a few times in the past 2 months whilst passing by on broadway and only thought twice about it once. i know, i'm bad.

i'll probably be all over it once it starts to actually rise out of the ground though

It has started to actually rise out of the ground.

I actually WAS going to take my own pics today. I had one of my rare day-treks downtown for an appointment, but by the time I got out around 5:30 the sun was going down and it was too dark. I won't be in downtown again for awhile...

Thought that there needed to be a picture here. Things looking pretty good with 1LP. Not the greatest shot but I was 20 minutes late already.

Someone had posted this photo of 1LP in the denver construction update thread and figured I would take it upon myself to put it in it's proper location, and also bump this thread a little bit.

Does anyone have an idea of how the height of the construction crane compares with the height of the finished building? When I look at the skyline from different places outside downtown, I was wondering if I will be able to eventually see the building if I can see the crane now.

^^ I bet you would be able to see the crane from most angles, the crane should be around 450' sense the building will be around 370' I really think that you would be able to view it. And even more so from I-70 and the Northern streatch of I-25 approaching I-70. I truely think that 1LP is the best looking building to rise in this City since the 80's and even then my money is on 1LP. But that will only hold true for me until 4S Teatro starts up construction, then i will have to put 1LP on the back burner or second place.

This is definatly an exciting time for Denver no doubt about it. Hey has anyone seen the Larimer Square commercial? I thought it was cool...

1LP's crane will rise with the building, so it's height is not even close to what will eventually be.

What really surpises me is that 15 years after the light rail opened to 5 points 1LP is the only TOD along that Welton stretch. Most all of Welton is a sea of open air parking lots all the way to 5 points. Denver has done really well recently getting suburbanites downtown but for the people who live in the core there isn't very much lightrail planned.

bcp · #**515** Posted **Dec 11, 2006, 8:08 PM**

welton corridor has a host of other problems though....bad zoning, resistant neighborhood groups and NIMBYs, crime and perceived crime.
that said...a blanket MS rezone would do absolute wonders for that stretch and while it's "OK" now, it could be unbelievable urban and cool and remain diverse.

bunt_q · #**516** Posted **Dec 11, 2006, 8:12 PM**

Well, that line didn't go anywhere worthwhile... we'll see what happens in the future, but for now one thing at a time. You start talking Colfax and Cherry Creek and you might see some interest in the center city.

bcp · #**517** Posted **Dec 11, 2006, 8:20 PM**

TO the CBD isn't worthwhile?

do we have to start this? i mean thtat line COULD go to thornton and it could connect to the DIA line.....alas, they'll probably stop trains at 20th and make it a streetcar that goes down to Broadway i-25...add CC and colfax and now what looks like a dud is really a rockstar.

bunt_q · #**518** Posted **Dec 11, 2006, 8:49 PM**

I more meant to 5 points... that part of the line was a waste of money (but like so many others, it made it politically tenable)... the original MAC should have gone broadway to downtown, and that's it.

glowrock · #**519** Posted **Dec 11, 2006, 9:01 PM**

Hey Brent, on a side-note, do you know if there were any "opening day posters" printed for the SE corridor? If so, I need one!

Interesting... I would have thought city council would have zoned the area more favorable for TOD's when the city went forward with the original stretch of lightrail. I rode the line when I had to rent a car in the area (near 1LP) and took it to 5 points and turned around and went back into downtown. I couldn't beleive the number of underutilized parking lots next to actual stops on the lightrail. I was thinking that a great urban neighborhood could rise up in the area and be so close to downtown.
