1755 Blake Announced for LoDo
A new office building is coming to Lower Downtown Denver... and an ugly parking lot is going away too! First Century Development is moving forward with their 125,000 SF, 5-story office project, 1755 Blake Street, on Block 021. Back in my blog entries of June 3 and August 6, I cover the project's journey through the demolition and design review process with the Lower Downtown Design Review Board. Now that 1755 Blake has been given the LDDRB's blessing, the project is moving forward. The project is being marketed by Grubb & Ellis, the general contractor is Haselden Construction and the architect is RNL Design. The project is planned to be completed by mid-2008 and will include ground-floor retail and two and a half levels of underground parking.

I think this is really great news because that general area has got some nasty parking lots around. Until everything is filled in all the way to Broadway over there it's still going to feel like a no man's land. Also, the design looks quite unique overall and something interesting to walk past. RNL design has got some amazing designs. Awesome.
I like the design too--contemporary without disrespecting the wonderful old buildings nearby. It almost looks more residential than commercial, and I also like that aspect of it. Now let's hope someone else does something with the parking lot on the other end of the block at 17th.
