Market Station
The Market Station project is a redevelopment of RTD’s former Market Street Station. The project is slated to be completed in the summer of 2019 and takes up the entire city block block bounded by 16th, 17th, Market and Blake Streets, excluding the Regional Transportation District headquarters building at 1600 Blake Street.
Denver Infill reports, the project is made up of three buildings that will include a total of “370,000 square feet of development, featuring 90,000 square feet of office space, 85,000 square feet of retail/restaurant, and the balance as 225 apartment units. Two underground parking levels will include 350 vehicle spaces for tenants and the public.”
According to Roger Pecsok, Development Director at Continuum Partners, “We are thrilled to be starting construction on Market Station, which will be the next great downtown development, similar in scale and significance to Larimer Square and Union Station. While Denver has seen some extraordinary developments in the last few years, we believe Market Station is a unique project in an important location. Our goal is that Market Station will boost the retail vitality of this part of LoDo and 16th Street much in the same way Union Station has for the Wynkoop corridor.”

Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art
Debuting in just a few days (March 10, 2018), the new Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art, located at 12th and Bannock, is considered “one of the most significant works of architecture constructed in Denver so far this century.” The project was designed by Jim Olson from Olson Kundig out of Seattle. According to Westword, the museum features “three categories of material: work by Kirkland, arguably Colorado’s greatest 20th century artist; work by other Colorado artists; and international design, decoration and craft.” Other must-see items on display will be “paintings from Kirkland, artwork from Colorado artists and a host of decorative art and design pieces — a dining room table by Frank Lloyd Wright, early Fiestaware and a dress by Andy Warhol,” (CPR).

If all goes to plan, the project could be done as soon as late 2021.
