A closed Denver hotel will be reinvented at a mixed use project as part of an "urban village" along the edge of downtown.
"Pacific's goal is to create an 'urban village atmosphere' along the edge of the downtown Denver CBD. 'This submarket between downtown and the Tech Center had no available sites for multifamily development until now. In fact, there are very few sites in Denver that offer the views, access, and adjacent amenities found at this location,' says John Ausburn, Pacifics senior vice president. Work will begin on the project this fall, with completion scheduled for the latter half of 2005."
