PROPOSED 8th and Logan, #Denver 80203 6-story, 100% affordable apartments. 67 homes (91 beds) w/ 67 veh & 33 bike parking spots. Hard to imagine an uglier, less suitable aesthetic match for the Gov's mansion than the proposed building—except for the existing state, an empty parking lot. Sigh…

York St b/w Harvard & Wesley Ave, #Denver 80210 2 homes ➡️ 56 homes in South Denver near DU, all studios and 1-bedrooms, but that fits the target population well enough. Nice design, ~6 floors tall, top floor lofted. 21 veh & 16 bike parking spots. Upgrades sidewalk too

The Brown Palace is famed as one of the oldest and continuously operating hotels in the U.S.

This is 10th-grader Arnoldo Bazan. A citizen. Immigration agents grabbed him and put him in a chokehold. "We're from the United States bro!' he screamed. Agents took and sold his phone And when he finally got home hours later, his shirt was ripped, he neck had angry, red welts, and he sobbed.

New from #DenverUrbanism in 2026—almost all of the mid- to high-rise buildings in Capitol Hill would be illegal to build or re-develop today, a major insult to residents of Denver's storied urban center. Protect our heritage, upzone Cap Hill! Find out more denverurbanism.com/2026/01/prot...

Today on the DenverUrbanism Podcast. Why do we like debt so much in Denver, and why are James and I so out of touch with the very happy electorate that just votes yes on everything? Hard hitting questions. And yeah, 2A and Broncos talk podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

Denver’s transit system, especially busses, delivers less service per capita in 2025 than in 2004. What gives? How do we create a step change for transit in the region? Listen to our interview with Jill Locantore of the Denver Streets Partnership here! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

Denver, what goes on here? (Wrong answers only)

Lots of differences in education culture/system that people don’t realize. Contrary to the US, with many small selective private universities like Harvard, all of Canada’s notable universities are large and public. The University of Toronto has more undergrads than the entire Ivy League.

Back in Denver after a busy news week! Happy to go to bat for this now—if any public money will end up supporting this project, tax-increment financing is the exact right tool for this exact situation! It’s going to get obscured by the media frenzy around anything Broncos but TIF would make sense

Logan St b/w 7th and 8th Ave, #Denver 80203 10-ish story apartment building would add density to a major site by the Governor's Mansion & Trader Joes. 110 homes (160 beds) w/ 113 veh & 46 bike parking spots. Within steps of a useful bus stop and a major bikeway, great project!

If you really want to preserve historic buildings, you should advocate *more* height and density when vacant lots are being developed into housing. Every unit built there is less demand pressure to demolish and redevelop old buildings.

Cherokee & 11th Ave, #Denver 80204 303 homes in a 23-story building with a restored Cherokee Row storefront and ~5500 sq ft of retail to remain along 11th Avenue. 187 veh + 167 bike parking spots. A massive project for the Golden Triangle near-ish to two grocery stores and Sunken Gardens Park.

The idea that bike lanes cause gentrification is funny because it suggests that they’re a desirable amenity that people will pay a lot of money to live near. Maybe build bike lanes in more places so they’re not as rare? (Also build more housing!)

Broadway b/w 9th and 10th Aves, #Denver 80204 552 homes in a 24-story tower w/ ~10,000 sq ft of ground floor retail come to a major transit corridor. 656 veh & 309 bike parking spots. AMLI doubles down on the Golden Triangle w/ 2nd block-long apartment building in as many blocks

Broadway b/w 8th and 9th Avenues, #Denver 80204 372 homes in a 16-story apartment building along a major transit corridor, already under construction, delivering in 2026. >10,000 sq ft of ground-floor retail with new trees and landscaping. 494 veh & 223 bike parking spots, project with a big impact!

Lincoln & 8th Ave, #Denver 80203 298 homes in an 18-story apartment building on a major transit corridor w/n walking distance to TJ’s grocery store. 290 veh & 186 bike parking spots, w/ 14 shared bikes for residents. Already under construction, a consequential addition to the Golden Triangle!

This week, I've queued up posts that illustrate more housing production approved in the last two years in just 7 acres of Downtown Denver (>2000 homes) than all of Boulder, CO has accomplished since 2019 (~1900)

One of the deadliest intersections in Colorado is directly outside of CDOT headquarters

People get confused when they complain about having to pay for parking and you respond “nice!”.

Lincoln & 7th Ave, #Denver 80203 329 homes (403 beds) in an 18-story building adds to a major transit corridor, on an important corner very near a grocery store. 3428 sq ft of ground-floor retail, very high-end amenities throughout the building. 322 veh & 171 bike parking spots.

Sherman, Lincoln, Speer, & 7th Ave, #Denver 80203 481 homes replace old Denver7 building. 11-story, X-shaped building on a prominent lot w/ major transit access. 375 veh & 256 bike parking spots. A 2.3 acre development makes this 209 du/acre, medium-high density for Denver.

Hello! James Warren and I are doing an episode on aesthetics in the built environment, probably just a primer before we go deeper with some architects and historians. What questions do you have, eg “Why do all the new buildings look the same?”

PROPOSED Williams St & Colfax, #Denver 80218 A vacant lot along #ColfaxBRT ➡️ 6-story apartments. 111 homes: all studios and 1-beds. 22 income-restricted homes allows this building to exceed 5-story zone. 32 veh & 12 bike parking spots. Very exciting proposal that pre-dates parking minimum removal

S Bannock & Dakota Ave, #Denver 80223 Empty parking lots ➡️ 368 homes across two, 8-story buildings near Alameda LR. 469 veh & 222 bike parking spots for residents and patrons of 7300 sq ft of ground-floor retail. Townhomes and apts cover up the parking garage, improving the look

S Cherokee & Alameda Ave, #Denver 80223 Former lab will become 721 homes across two buildings @ 7 & 14 stories w/n 1 block of Alameda LR. Ground-floor retail along Cherokee Street. 950 veh & 451 bike parking spots. By build-to-own Hanover, regular #TOD developer in Denver

🚨The Denver City Council voted 9-3 to abolish minimum parking requirements citywide for all uses. This means more room for homes, small businesses, and people—not empty asphalt. A major step toward a more affordable, sustainable, and people-focused city. 📍Denver, CO

3865 E Cherry Creek N Drive, #Denver 80209 12-story residential tower is nearly about to start construction. 181 homes in Cherry Creek East, w/ 228 veh & 68 bike parking spots. If this were proposed today, this project would require no parking vs the 227 required when permitted

Check out my latest for DenverInfill on Cherry Creek—not that they’re skyscrapers, but together, all this development is big! denverinfill.com/2025/07/cher...

S Garfield St & Dakota Ave, #Denver 80206 13-story hotel near the Cherry Creek Trail and a very useful neighborhood bikeway. 153 rooms, AC Hotel by Marriott. Quite a large parking podium, 114 parking spots, all above ground. Fully entitled, should start construction soon

Great interview today on CityCast Denver with Councilman Darrell Watson, especially his comments about reimagining and possibly removing the L Line going up Welton Street. Really important conversation, and advocates should listen closely to the argument! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

NEW: A Democrat running for Colorado's most competitive congressional district got caught using a photo of Canadian mountains instead of Colorado mountains. Also, the Republican representing CO-8 just voted for nearly $1T in cuts to Medicaid and other health programs. #copolitics

PROPOSED Smith Road(ish) and CO Blvd, #Denver 80216 5-story, affordable housing proposed on currently vacant land by new Park Hill Park. 191 homes (374 beds) affordable to those earning b/w 30-80% AMI. 183 veh + 96 bike parking spots. First phase in the development w/ new streets

New rendering of the Civic Center Greek Amphitheater after the "flipping" happens and the new canopy, seating, and soundstage go in. Looks good, really smart approach to bolstering the park for its users without impinging on the historical/architectural integrity of the park
