A development proposal would add two new buildings in addition to major renovations in Larimer Square.
"The owner of Larimer Square has announced plans to build two new buildings on the block, including one that will bring affordable housing to the historic downtown Denver district," reports Joe Rubino.
According to Rubino, "the plans announced so far include adding two buildings, renovating the block’s brick alleyways, bringing in new businesses, and planting rooftop gardens that would help supply area restaurants."
The article includes more about the recent development in the historic block and its attached alleys, much of which was built in the 1860s. The most recent addition to Larimer Square, however, was built in 2003.
