RiNo & Five Points summer construction update

Justin August 13, 2015 5

It is time to take a look at the construction that is taking place in Denver's Five Points and RiNo neighborhoods. The first project that we will look at is the 2300 Welton development, a subsidized project that will include 223 units in Five Points.

Just a few steps up Welton is The Wheatley mixed-use project at 25th and Welton. In our last update the foundation work had just been completed, now many of the units have been framed in.

On the edge of RiNo and Curtis Park is the Savile Row project at Lawrence Street and 32nd Street. Once fully built Savile Row will include 6 individual homes.

A construction fence and work is underway at the site of the Alloy on Lawrence townhome project at 32nd Street and Lawrence. To learn more about the Alloy on Lawrence, take a look at this article from June.

Just a short distance away is the the Larimer Row development at 34th and Larimer. The first units are now complete. This development will include 28 townhomes.

Just a block away and pictured below is the 35th and Larimer project that broke ground in July. This is a mixed-use development that will feature ground floor space that can either be used for retail or office, and above that will sit two floors of residential units. To see renderings of this project click here.

Over at 32nd Street and Blake is the Factory Flats development that will feature for-sale units. The units will be powered by solar panels.

Seen in the below photograph is the Backyard on Blake project. An existing brick building is being incorporated into this development that will feature residential, office and retail components at 30th and Blake Street.

The Hartley Flats apartment project is nearing completion at 27th and Walnut Street. The exterior finishes are now in place.

Jumping over to Brighton Boulevard and 31st Street we find a crane has been installed at this mixed-use development that will include residential and retail elements.

Adjacent to The Source marketplace, we can see that dirt is being moved for the Source Hotel on the righthand side of the below photograph. It was announced a couple weeks back that New Belgium will be bringing a pilot brewery to the hotel.

Seen below is the Freight Residences that is being constructed at the TAXI campus. Dynia Architects designed this project and all of the other buildings at the TAXI campus.

The last project we will look at is the on the edge of RiNo and Denver's Ballpark neighborhood. The Crossing at Denargo Market is a five-story project that will house 321 apartment units.

On a side note, as I was taking pictures of The Crossing at Denargo Market, I couldn't help but notice a trash can was on fire. It was a peculiar scene. Hopefully urban trash can fires are not a common occurrence. Kudos to the gentleman from RTD who did not hesitate and quickly put out the fire with a fire extinguisher. DFD arrived on scene shortly thereafter.

Solar powered homes under construction in Wheat Ridge

Justin July 14, 2015 0

Currently under construction in Wheat Ridge is InCarnation, a residential development at West 39th Place between Sheridan and Harlan. This project includes 7 single-family homes, 8 paired-homes, and 11 row-homes. The paired-homes are all under contract.

The developer is Urban Green Development, the same firm that is creating the for-sale Factory Flats condo project in Denver's RiNo neighborhood. GreenSpot Real Estate is providing brokerage services.

“We wanted to provide people with an alternative to high-priced living without settling on quality. InCarnation is northwest Denver adjacent making it ideal for people who want to enjoy the recreation and entertainment those neighborhoods have to offer, but who can’t justify spending that amount of money on a neighborhood,” said Tracye Herrington, Co-owner & Co-Founder, Employing Broker, GreenSpot Real Estate.

This development is taking shape on the site of a former carnation farm. According to the development team on-site clean up took place before construction began due to the pollution caused by outdated carnation farming techniques. According to the City of Wheat Ridge, the city was at one point the world's number one producer of carnations (source).

The homes will be solar powered and the community is Energy Star certified. Eco-friendly engineered products and building materials are being used in the construction of these residences.

“InCarnation offers families and individuals the opportunity to lower their carbon footprint and put energy savings back in their pockets,” noted Melissa Baldridge, Co-Owner & Co-Founder, Green-Building Solutions Provider, GreenSpot Real Estate. “Homes that are Energy Star-certified have greater indoor air quality, consistent room temperatures, lower energy bills, and a higher resale value. It is a win-win.”

This project joins several other developments currently under construction in RiNo including the Factory Flats and the Alloy on Lawrence projects. The Source Hotel project was also announced this spring and is planned to take shape adjacent to The Source market on the 3300 block of Brighton Boulevard.

Existing structures on the property are being demolished to make room for this development.

“The flourishing arts community in the RiNo district has been conscientious about acknowledging the area’s industrial roots, even as it’s been transitioning to a cultural center,” said Terry Drahota, President. “This project respects that notion and we will be offering living and working space to a growing population.” Currently under construction four blocks from the site of the 35th and Larimer project is a RTD commuter rail station that will open at 38th and Blake. Once completed in 2016 this station will serve RTD’s East Line that will provide service to Denver International Airport with commuter trains that will reach a top speed of 79 mph. Residential units will be available in 1, 2, and micro apartment options. The ground floor will feature five spaces that can be used for either office, restaurant, or retail use. Humphries Poli Architects designed this project and Littleton Capital Partners is the developer. This development is slated to be completed in June of 2016.
