Plans are in the works for the construction of two tall towers in downtown Denver at the current 2.5-acre block-length site of a nearly 50 year-old Greyhound Bus Station.
The Chicago based Golub & Company, in a joint project with the Rockefeller Group of New York, has announced that it wants to build a tower entirely devoted to residential space, at 38 stories, along with an office tower topping out at 28 stories.
Altogether, the project would equal some 1.7 million square feet of new built space. Additional plans call for a swimming pool and rooftop lounge.
The project, which is currently being reviewed by City of Denver officials, will also include upwards of 30,000 square feet of retail space as well as an outdoor plaza.
Located at 1055 19th Street, the site was purchased last December by both Golub and the Rockefeller Group for $38 million. At the time of that purchase, the Rockefeller Group, in a press release, noted that the property is “one of the last undeveloped full-block sites” in downtown Denver.
The Greyhound station, which was built in 1975, closed in the fall of last year, moving its operations to the nearby Union Station.
