Things are looking up: These three downtown Denver building projects could rise to the occasion.
A sixteen-story residential building, One River North will hardly blend in with its surroundings. On the west side, overlooking the railyards with unobstructed views of the mountains across the tracks, the tower will have an arcing facade mostly covered in mirrored glass-curtain wall panels accented by horizontally mounted thin metal ribs.
When complete, 1900 Lawrence will be a vertical shaft offset at the ground by a mid-rise wing. Perched on very Miesian pilotis, the mass of the tower will rise directly above an entry porch that’s been notched out at the base. The design has a lively form that pushes and pulls, evocative of a stack of children’s building blocks piled up slightly off-kilter; it’s very similar to the handling of Goettsch’s Al Hilal Bank in Abu Dhabi.
Populus and One River North are set to be completed in 2023, and the more substantial 1900 Lawrence in 2024. With ongoing supply-chain issues and a construction worker shortage, all three could take a little longer. But these buildings should be worth waiting for., it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism.
