If you have been traveling in and around Riverfront Park, Lower Downtown, or Ball Park you might have noticed that things are really happening in the new Denver Union Station Project.
Office buildings, light rail, and more has been under rapid development in Denver’s newest neighborhood. In the center of everything, the historic Denver Union Station finally got word that it’s federal hurdles for approval look to be resolved.
The historic train center that Downtown Denver loft and condo owners love to admire is being remodeled into a new Hotel and transit center. Union Station Alliance, the development team who won this monumental Denver project, had earlier submitted a proposal that did not satisfy the National Parks Service to quality for a historic preservation certification.
We love the historical preservation of Denver Union Station. For the developer, the historic preservation meant the project wasn’t eligible for a federal 20 percent investment tax credit.
That’s a pretty big deal.
Fortunately, the Union Station Alliance went back and reworked their design which it appears has meet the National Parks requirements.
Union Station Neighborhood development is one of the largest transit oriented development projects in the country. Nestled between the hip and trendy towers of Riverfront Park and the historic loft and conversion projects of LoDo, it’s in the heart of everything.
But our favorite component may be the walkscore and transportation oriented benefits that Denver Union Station creates for it’s future residents and neighbors. The Union Station light rail station will be the hub of Denver’s light rail system while also channeling both the existing 16th street and future 18th street bus shuttles.
Restaurants, amenities, and transportation are just a few reasons why residents of Denver lofts and condos love their location. To learn more about these exciting projects or any of our amazing Downtown Denver neighborhoods please contact anyone on the New Era Realty team today.
