Today, East West Partners announced they have broken ground on The Coloradan, a 19-story, $200 million condominium tower planned for 17th and Wewatta next to the commuter rail platforms at Denver Union Station. Here’s the latest rendering, courtesy of East West Partners and GBD Architects:

The Coloradan will occupy the last remaining undeveloped parcel (known as the “B block”) in the Union Station area. The new for-sale residential building will feature a total of 334 units of which 33 will have pricing estimated in the mid- to high-$200,000 range set by the affordability requirements of Denver’s Inclusionary Housing Ordinance; 294 market-rate units comprised of studio, 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, and 3-bedroom residences ranging from the high $200,000s to $1.3 million; and seven penthouse units on the 19th floor ranging from $1.6 to $3.0 million.

The Coloradan will include approximately 19,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, with East West Partners targeting high-quality restaurants and retailers as strong complements to the intensive pedestrian and transit uses nearby.

The new residential tower will also feature 447 vehicle parking spaces, a rooftop pool deck and club room, a fitness center, and a residents’ garden. East West Partners is targeting LEED Gold certification.

Slifer, Smith & Frampton will begin condominium sales in 2017 with the project scheduled to be completed by September 2018.
