Union Station’s Hip New Renovation!

Larimer Associates, the leasing and acquisitions company for Union Station, asked the public what they would like to see happen to this historic and landmark property. The public responded with an overwhelming desire to see Colorado-based businesses opened. They delivered!

Larimer Associates announced that The Kitchen Next Door, Snooze, an A.M. Eatery and a new restaurant and market concept by chef Alex Seidel will be the first major restaurant tenants at Union Station.

These three restaurants, scheduled to open in July 2014, will each feature large patios for outdoor seating, fresh products for their farm-to-table menus, and an energized collaborative spirit to enhance Denver’s food scene.

The restaurants, covering the gambit of morning, afternoon, and evening meals, will help transform Union Station into Denver’s next great dining destination.

The plan for Union Station also includes other locally owned restaurants, retail outlets and a 112 room luxury hotel.

East Colfax Development

The shattered, and nearly forgotten, stretch of East Colfax Avenue is getting an updated makeover, thanks in large part to Sprouts Farmers Market. A massive project is in the works for the site of the long-vacant Rosen-Novak and Elway car dealerships, near Colorado Boulevard, reports a recent Denver Post article.

The site was originally set to host a Sunflower Farmers Market, but when the two companies merged, Sprouts was the surviving name. The Sprouts Market, estimated at 26,000 square feet, will take up the north side of Colfax between Garfield and Monroe. The adjacent block, what is now used as a parking lot for National Jewish Health, is going to see the addition of numerous restaurants and shops, according to plans unveiled by the retail developer, Evergreen Development, and the landowner, the Rosen family of Denver.

The big picture for the grocery store is to help boost the neighborhood’s redevelopment, while maintaining a low impact on the people. Small details are being taken into big consideration, as Sean Mandel, a part of Rosen Properties, wants the parking lot hidden behind landscaping and a brick wall. Other architectural features were designed with the public in mind.

Demolition for the new Sprouts was scheduled to begin on August 20th of this year, with completion in April of 2013.
