First is a photo of the multi-family project that is under construction at Speer and Bannock in the Golden Triangle neighborhood of Denver. This project is being developed by Greystar.

This vantage point on Bannock street caught my eye, as this unassuming dive bar is surrounded by recent development in The Golden Triangle.

I then walked towards the Denver Art Museum and grabbed this photo. The mist in the air made for an interesting color. This portion of the Denver Art Museum was designed by architect Daniel Libeskind.

Here is a photo of the Denver Public Library addition that was added to the original library in 1995. The architectural style of the addition is post modern. The Denver Public Library addition was designed by architect Michael Graves who passed away in 2015.

While walking towards downtown across Denver’s Civic Center Park, I noticed the gold dome of the Colorado State Capitol Building peeking out above the tree line. The Capitol Building opened in 1894 and was designed by architect Elijah E. Myers.

I then walked to Denver’s 16th Street Mall where I captured this image of an RTD bus driving by.

Below is a photo looking towards the Wells Fargo building (Cash Register Building) and Republic Plaza.

Next is a photo of 1999 Broadway. This downtown Denver skyscraper was designed by Denver-based architecture firm Fentress. 1999 Broadway was completed in 1985

This same vantage point on the east side of 1801 California provides a nice view of all the construction work taking place along Welton Street as it points towards Denver’s Five Points neighborhood.

Here we see 1999 Broadway and the Wells Fargo Center (Cash Register Building) in the same photo. Hopefully the parking lots in downtown Denver that can be seen in this photo will be developed in the not too distant future.

Some of you may have heard of Kim Allen, he is a Denver-based photographer and is known for his unique photos of Denver during the 1980s. He focused his attention on capturing the vacant and deteriorating buildings of Lower Downtown Denver before the LoDo renaissance of the 1990s.

To learn more about Mr. Allen and his photos, I invite you to take a look the interview I posted where he answered questions about his thoughts on Denver and his photographs: The man behind the Denver Photo Archives

Long story short, Mr Allen and I have stayed in touch. Recently we met up to take some photos. Below are a couple photos I took that day.

Next are a couple photos I captured on the north side of Denver looking south towards Downtown Denver as a cold front was moving across the Front Range.

A couple weeks back I went for an extensive urban hike with my camera in the Mile High City; here are the results.

1144 Fifteenth Street (the building in the middle of the below photo) is a nice addition the Denver skyline.

Looking down 16th Street towards the Colorado State Capital Building.

The light rail station near Union Station.

The steps that lead up to The Millennium Bridge.

The Wazee Supper Club will be closing soon, so I made sure to snap a photo before it is gone for good. I ended up here several times after attending Denver Nuggets games.

And finally here are a few photos from the other day when the most recent snow storm was blowing in.

Looking down 17th Street towards Union Station and Downtown Denver.

A photo of the traffic on I-25. No one seems to call it “the valley highway” much anymore.

The Platte River in Denver looking towards Mile High Stadium home of the Denver Broncos.

The Speer Bridge above the Platte River.

Another one of the Speer bridge with the Confluence apartment tower next to it.

The Denver Skyline as the snow from a recent storm began to fall.

I switched lenses and snagged a few photos of Downtown Denver. There is a nice view of Denver’s newest skyscraper, 1144 Fifteenth Street from this vantage point.

The traffic on Denver’s busy Colfax Avenue made for some cool lighting

After capturing these photos of Downtown Denver and the fireworks at Sports Authority Field at Mile High while the Denver Broncos game was going on, I was able to make it home in time to watch the second half of the game. I did not miss much as it was one of the Denver Broncos poorest performances at home that I can remember.

To begin here are a couple of photos looking towards the Country Club Towers. This set of photos was captured from 9th Avenue and Lincoln Street.

The below photo looks towards the northeast with a nice view of Denver’s Capitol Hill neighborhood.

And of course here is one looking toward Downtown Denver where 1144 Fifteenth Street can been viewed making an impact on the Denver Skyline.

Here is a set of photos captured from Diamond Hill, near the intersection of Speer and I-25. This is a great vantage point to admire 1144 Fifteenth Street and The Confluence projects.

Next are a few photos I captured near the intersection of Federal and 6th Avenue.

To finish up, here are some photos I captured near the intersection of 38th and Blake in Denver’s RiNo neighborhood.

To begin, here is a series of photos captured from the Auraria Campus. The crane for 1144 Fifteenth Street is visible. When Looking closely, you can see a concrete boom just above the roofline of 1401 Lawrence that is in place to pour concrete for the elevator shaft of 1144 Fifteenth Street. It won’t be long before 1144 Fifteenth Street makes a major impact on the Denver skyline.

Here is one looking towards the north where we can see The Confluence, a 34-story luxury apartment building that is under construction.

Here are a few pictures a little closure to 1144 Fifteenth Street:

The glass installation is moving along at 1144 Fifteenth Street.

Here are some black and white photos of Downtown Denver I captured while walking around:

And a few Downtown Denver photographs in color:

Denver Union Station all set for the holidays with Christmas lights.

Bridge over Cherry Creek.

Here are a few photographs I snagged around the Denver Art Museum.

The ART Hotel has been open for over a year now and I see it as a nice addition to this part of Broadway.

An eclectic mix of architectural styles in a relatively small area of Denver.

Here is one of the Clyfford Still Museum:

I hope you all enjoyed taking a look at some of my recent photos of Denver.

The Denver Skyline sure does look impressive looking towards to mountains.

I going to get a print of the black and white one and hang it on my wall along with my other favorite photos of Denver.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving,

Justin

This past Saturday night a hockey game was held at Coors Field between the University of Denver Pioneers and the Colorado College Tigers. The warm weather in Denver the last few days may not invoke thoughts of outdoor hockey, but it was still a great atmosphere with 35,000 fans in attendance at Coors Field.

The hockey rink on top of the baseball field will remain through next weekend as the Colorado Avalanche will play their arch rival the Detroit Red Wings this upcoming Saturday. A Friday night game between Avalanche and Red Wings alumni players will take place, which should be interesting considering many of the players in the alumni game exchanged punches with one another during their playing days. 

Colorado Rockies’ pitchers and catchers reported to spring training in Arizona this past week, but for the time being, the sounds of slap shots will echo throughout the stands at Coors Field as we wait for the crack of the bat to return in April.

It was a unique site to see an ice rink sitting on top of a baseball diamond. The University of Denver out skated Colorado College to a 4-1 victory.

Since Denver Urban Review covers construction news I had to find a way to sneak in a construction photo. Below is a photo looking west from Coors Field. From left to right we see the construction cranes of the Dairy Block, Kimpton Hotel,  Pivot Denver, and Union Tower West.

Coors Field located in Denver’s LoDo neighborhood opened in 1995 and the view from the the below vantage point has changed the last 21 years. Notable additions to the Denver Skyline in Coors Field’s lifetime include 1800 Larimer and The Four Seasons. Once 1144 Fifteenth is completed it will obstruct The Four Seasons from this vantage point except for the very top the spire.

Here are a few more photos of Coors Field from Saturday night’s hockey game:
