Trammell Crow Residential, developer of the Alexan brand of apartment communities, is planning another project in Downtown Denver, this time at 20th and California streets in the Arapahoe Square district. Known as Alexan 20th Street Station, the development will cover the entire half block along California Street between 20th and 21st streets, a 50,068-square foot parcel.

We’ve outlined the project site on the Google Earth image below:

As this aerial photo clearly illustrates, this project will fill a sizable hole in downtown Denver’s biggest parking crater. Fortunately, several of the other undeveloped sites in this sea of asphalt have projects proposed on them, including Renaissance Downtown, 21st and Welton, and even another Trammell Crow Residential project, Alexan Arapahoe Square. The “20th Street Station” part of the project name references RTD’s 20th and Welton light rail station, located 200 feet from the development site.

Alexan 20th Street Station will consist of a 12-story building that rises 144 feet in height and contains 354 residential units. The average apartment size will be 783 square feet. A total of 393 automobile parking spaces is planned, for a parking space/unit ratio of 1.11.

The following rendering is courtesy of our friends at Kephart, the project architect, showing the California Street side of the building with 20th Street on the right. While this rendering does represent the most recent version of the project’s design, some minor changes may occur given that the development is still under review by the city.

According to Trammell Crow Residential’s website, this project is expected to get started later this year and be complete by fall 2018.
