Too bad they didn't have room for a pool. My buddy had a place in the capital hill area of DT Denver, they had an outdoor pool in the courtyard of the complex and it was insanely fun. It basically consisted of of people that had recently graduated college and were working downtown.

Those aren't pillows!

City and business leaders toured the new L14 Flats apartment complex at the corner of 14th and Leavenworth Streets.

All but a dozen of the building’s 42 units already are leased and the remaining units are expected to be taken by October, said Dominic Vaccaro, vice-president of America First Real Estate Group. Rents start at $700 but most are in the range of $900 to $1,200.

I can't overstate how much I want them to break ground on the car wash location soon. With this completed one getting a really good reception I would hope the next one would be on a fast track right now.

I agree I can't wait for that location to get started as well. It will look so much better and bring a nice presence, hopefully filling the whole lot out to the street.

If it has a similar scale as this one it should look great on that property. L14 Flats actually feels pretty nondescript I think, it fits in well, but no casual observer will really notice the place in the shadow of the taller brick building and on a fairly low traffic corner. 13th and Jones on the other hand would be the biggest building on the block and would be really easily noticeable from the Old Market. Plus with it being even closer one might guess the units would be an easier rent than L14. Maybe they could even add a floor or two to meet higher demand :). Optimism!

Talk about filling up dead space. That really looks great. Thanks for the photo Brad.

A friend of mine is all moved in here. It isn't luxury, but it is a really nice place.

I seem to remember tons of open lots along Leavenworth, and specifically, in that area.

Big E, the rendering makes it look like they intend to keep that building (the one to the south). It would be great to see something done with that space. It has been totally empty and gutted for at least a decade.
I agree, they need to keep that building standing and someone needs to do something with it. The thought of tearing it down hadn't crossed my mind until I read Big E's post, so I stopped by this evening to check the place out and take a couple pictures of the building and the empty lot where the apartment will be built. The glass on the main floor appears to be relatively clean or new, and there is some framing. That could all be an illusion, and it's certainly possible it has been sitting there started but not finished for years. I apologize for the quality of the pictures in my camera phone.

Did we ever have a thread for this building? I can't find it.

Anyways a skid loader was leveling out the lot directly south of this building today.

I don't think we have had a special thread for this building, just speculations within this thread concerning what we would like to see happen. At first we thought it might be torn down, but driving past it this year they definitely have been renovating it. I keep thinking of finding info on it, but forget.
