A King Soopers will be opening on the first floor of the Elan Union Station apartment project at 19th Street and Chestnut Place.
The above photo looks down Chestnut Place towards the southwest. The structure that sits on the righthand side of the photo was utilized as self storage building and is slated for demolition to make way for the planned 12-story
Hilton Garden Inn. The structure on the lefthand side of the photo is northeast side of the Elan Union Station apartment project where the new King Soopers will be located. The 13-story building in the middle of the picture is the Cadence Union Station apartments. The crane is with the 1601 Wewatta office project that recently topped off at 10-stories.
A crane delivers glass to the 1601 Wewatta office project that was developed by Hines. The glass has been stored in crates on an adjacent lot that is planned to become an 18-story office tower at the corner of 16th Street and Chestnut Place.

Denver's Millennium bridge is one of three pedestrian bridges that connects downtown Denver with the Highlands. The Millennium bridge allows RTD light rail vehicles to safely pass under the bridge while pedestrians stroll above.
The Confluence, a 34-story luxury apartment building is under construction and if you are wondering where the name for this development came from, it is because this tower will rise adjacent to the confluence of the Platte River and Cherry Creek. This project will feature underground parking. Excavation work is underway, but a lot of work will take place before the above grade work begins.
The open space between the Triangle building and the Environmental Protection Agency building (pictured on the righthand side of the photo) is where a cycling station will be located. Currently construction materials are located in the space. This space is actually the right of way for Wewatta Street. A deal was made between the City of Denver and the Triangle Building's developer East West Partners where underground parking for the building would be constructed underneath the Wewatta Street right of way as long as the developer placed a bike station on top of it. This was important because of the unusual triangular shape of the property. Triangular lots do not lend themselves to being ideal for underground parking structures.
Liberty Global recently announced it will be leasing the top three floors of the Triangle Building.
Above grade work is taking place on the 22-story
1401 Lawrence office project.National law firm Polsinelli has signed a 15-year lease to become the signature tenant of the building. 1401 Lawrence will have an outdoor space located on the 9th floor for its tenants.

A photo looking northwest towards Denver's LoDo and Union Station neighborhoods. All of the prominent building on the horizon have been constructed this century starting with the Glass House residential towers on the far right of the photo. The next building to the left is the 21-story Platform at Union Station apartments and to the left of that is the 19-story office building- 1900 16th Street. The photos in this set were all taken in March of 2015 by Denver Urban Review.
I stumbled upon a fortuitous site while walking down 14th Street. I noticed that the crane that had been used to construct the dual brand Hyatt House Hyatt Place was being taken down. Although it is more exciting to watch a crane being installed, this does signify that another Denver project is successfully nearing completion. 
The below photograph was snapped at 18th and Broadway, the location of the 26-story Skyhouse Denver apartment project. At this point, below grade work is taking place. When I attended the ground breaking ceremony construction personnel pointed out to me that large parts of the old Cosmopolitan Hotel foundation were discovered once excavation began. The Cosmopolitan Hotel was demolished in 1984 and the site was used as a parking lot for the last 30 years. 
Pictured above is the 22-story 1401 Lawrence office tower with work beginning on the third floor. 
Demolition of the an existing structure (pictured above and below) takes place at the future site of Z Block, a mixed use project that will feature office space and a hotel component. A water truck is on site to spray water while the structure is torn down to prevent dust and other particles from becoming airborne. This project is located at 18th and Wazee Street in Lower Downtown. 
Construction began on the Kimpton Hotel (pictured above) just a few days ago. The above photo was snapped at 16th street halfway between Wewatta Street and Wynkoop Street. The project will also feature an office component. 
Glass has now been installed on the front facade of the office building 1601 Wewatta (pictured above), a development by Hines. The planned office tower 1144 15th street is also being developed by Hines. Denver Urban Review was told by Hines that the 1144 15th Street project is slated to break ground this May. 
The base for a crane has been installed at the 17W (pictured above and below) site. A Whole Foods is slated to occupy ground floor space, while apartment units will site above reaching a height of 13 stories. 
Below grade work continues at The Confluence site pictured above. This luxury apartment project will rise to 34 floors. 
Pictured above is a photograph snapped from the pedestrian bridge located at 18th Street and Chestnut Place. For now this is a great vantage point to view the construction that is taking place in the Union Station neighborhood and Central Platte Valley. It won't be long before buildings rise and block the views from this spot, but so is the progress of the Mile High City.
