Prospect
The
Prospect neighborhood is the new name for an old industrial area which once
housed Italian railroad workers and, for most of the 20th century,
gritty warehouses.
North of
the Platte River, the area is occupied by primarily three uses:
City of Cuernavaca Park with its oval footpath, a manufacturing plant, and
a city maintenance yard. South of
the Platte is a booming new residential area that will eventually hold almost 2,000 residential units. Several historic
conversions are taking place in the area also.
The
Prospect neighborhood is also one of those areas where the "metro"
street grid and the diagonal "downtown" street grid collide, adding to the
interest of this unique enclave in the shadow of Coors Field.
This
aerial photo is focused on the southeastern corner of the neighborhood
where all of the infill projects are located.

Flour Mill Lofts Phase 2
MAP |
The Pride of the
Rockies Flour Mill (the shorter of the two buildings shown in the photos)
was built in 1920 and is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
For years, the flour mill sat abandoned and covered in graffiti in the
equally-desolate Central Platte Valley. Then, in 1998, the building was
thoroughly restored and converted into 17 lofts. Phase 2 of the project, a
new structure, was built in the spirit of the original, and houses 30
residential units.
