Denver is a prime example of success. 

Well, not everywhere in Denver:

Actually Denver did save a lot of their buildings, but this is not a good representation of that. Their historical society got very busy in the the 1970’s preserving structures and saving many endangered buildings that otherwise would have been destroyed. I had already seen this photo BTW, and have walked this street numerous times. There is plenty wrong with Denver, but there is plenty right with it too.

You can check it out if you like. I don’t make blanket statements like that for the most part without doing some homework. Many large cities did this similar crap in the 70’s all in the name of “Urban renewal” and I am sure Robert will be able to give you an education on the misguided nature of many of those projects but not all. Hells half acre was a prime example here of a Urban renewal project that probably needed to happen but the end product was less than to be desired, IMO. There are certain areas of intact old Denver in place thanks to preservation efforts.

The advent of the Interstate program was another example of a good thing gone wrong. Prime example was what happened in North Nashville, however I don’t think we can go in and fix the mess now with a cap over the interstate. The NYC preservationist stopped a plan there that would have been a disaster for Manhattan.

Are they expecting early 2022 completion on this building?  surprised we have not seen a name for it yet?

 

[smeagolsfree]

That date is probably right and who knows about the name. This has been a mystery project for a long time. These companies seem to operate as if they always have something to hide.

Did I miss something, is the apartment portion really going to be named ... The Fray?!?

 

[smeagolsfree]

Why can't we have some great names like the Condemned, The Hole, The Escape, The Trap, The Maze. It would add some spice to the city!

I'm just amazed that developers are so out of ideas,  they have to go with names of moderately successful indie rock bands from the 2000's.

There is new signage on the building (partially visible in that last photo above)   which appears to say the apartment portion will be named "fallyn", not  The Fray.....

"fallyn" as in, "I hope this building isn't gonna be fallyn down while I'm inside it"...?

Seriously, what's up with all the wierd names starting with "F"? 

I hereby nominate the name "The Fudge Pop" as a good and suitable name for this tower!

Edit:  Actually, just the name "Fudgicle" is even better!
