I wish there was more going on in this stretch. I was hoping The Highline would spur some projects in this area. The hotel on 24th is a good start but improving the look of the stretch between 20th street and Midtown Crossing should be super high on the priority list for the city. It kinda sucks tha...

A tower on the Civic site would go a lot further toward expanding on the skyline than this lot, so I've never been all that disappointed that none of the tower plans for 1419 Dodge ever happen. An 8-10 story apartment building with ground-level retail would look great here and be financially viable.

Visually it would look better without the tower over 16th though. I actually think a building over the street would be really cool and urban-like. I'd love to see that! I agree, it might be kinda cool. And it's probably the only realistic option for re-connecting 16th Street. I guess there's a slig...

In my opinion North Downtown has no chance of forming into any sort of cohesive urban neighborhood until 480 is taken down and converted into a boulevard. Its best chance for success is to be directly connected to the core and to the Capitol District/Old Market corridor. Also, it's not unheard of re...
