In September 2026, developer Pagewest commenced demolition of buildings located between Speer Boulevard and 29th Avenue in Denver. The site in the LoHi neighborhood is slated to house a new seven-story, 300-apartment complex.
Why it matters
The project repurposes a 1.5-acre parcel that previously served as a retail and office hub to address local housing demand. Pagewest spent four years assembling the site before moving forward with the current development plan.
Pagewest acquired the 1.5-acre property for $8.5 million in October 2025. The finalized building design includes 300 apartments spread across 7 stories.
The players
Pagewest
An Aspen-based development firm responsible for the acquisition and planned construction of the new residential complex.
The details
The site, which sits between Speer Boulevard and 29th Avenue, required a four-year assemblage process to prepare the land for redevelopment. The demolition of the former retail and office buildings is the final step before the commencement of the new apartment structure.
Timeline
Pagewest purchased the property in October 2025 for $8.5 million.
Demolition work at the Bryant Street site began in September 2026.
Culture Shift
This development aligns with the ongoing urban densification of Denver's Lower Highland neighborhood. It reflects a broader shift toward maximizing land use in high-demand areas by replacing legacy retail footprints with high-density residential housing.
Residents in the LoHi neighborhood may experience construction noise and local traffic detours near Bryant Street as the demolition and development proceed. The long-term impact for locals includes an increase in available housing inventory once the 300-unit complex opens.
The takeaway
Large-scale urban infill projects often require years of land assemblage before construction can begin. Neighbors should anticipate extended infrastructure work when retail zones are converted into high-density residential properties.
