The Indeed building - 5th & Colorado, is 242 feet.

The 18th floor of Hotel ZaZa is at 203 feet 4 inches.

As much as we'd love every building to be tall, Im pretty excited about this one as is. I think with it sitting next to plaza lofts, and the renovated republic square park, it will be a really great area in the coming few years.

And not to mention, when's the last time we've had a new building get built with a brick facade like this? Some small 4-7 floor apartments, but nothing like this...And I'm very in favor of seeing more.

I agree with you height assessment, it doesn't need to be taller and will fit in well with the park. With 6 floors to go, it will stand out nicely. Regarding tall buildings with brick facades...isn't the Ashton pretty much all brick?

Brick has started going up. These photos are from last weekend.

So glad this finally got built, the brick will be a nice change.

Yeah, I suppose it is. I just always forget about the Ashton because despite looking pretty good from a distance, there's absolutely nothing special about it, and they have absolutely no street level interaction. Shoot, they have a big windowed room right on 2nd street that could be used for anything, but they have their little apartment Gym right there...

The Whitley on 3rd Street is a decent bricked building. It's definitely not real tall, but I think the design of it is actually quite good.

Love it!

I don’t know if we’ve ever seen a final rendering, but it certainly looks close to its final height. Wouldn't be surprised if it was on its last floors.

Jdawgboy · #**673** Posted **Feb 17, 2018, 7:53 PM**

Isn't supposed to be 24 floors? If so I think I counted Wed that it's up to the 20th or 21st floor so not much more to go.

I liked the renderings of this building. Not mind blowing, but pretty nice. They don't always have to be tall to be good.

I agree.. I think the height is perfect for the location, a little taller than it's neighbors but not too tall. Gives the Warehouse District some nice texture and height variation.
