Denver's skyline is littered with somewhere around a dozen too. The west-side of downtown has grown a tremendous amount in just about 3 years. Seems like mostly shoddily-constructed apartment buildings (source: a guy who helped design 4 of them).
- tmh79 9y agoa "shoddily constructed" building is still a place for people to live.
- mmmpop 9y agoBut it doesn't inspire much faith in those investing in living in Denver (by say, purchasing a very expensive home) when big capital doesn't see it fit to finance a building meant to last a century. Do they not have confidence that people will still be wanting to pay these same exorbitant rents in 2040?
- eunoia 9y agoWe've got way more than a dozen... Anecdotally they do seem to be mostly sub-par, overpriced apartment buildings by and large. https://www.bizjournals.com/denver/maps/crane-watch https://www.bizjournals.com/denver/maps/crane-watch I keep wondering when the supply of 2k+/month shoddily constructed one bedroom rental apartments will catch up with the demand for them. That may not seem like a lot for the Bay types, but Denver has traditionally been a lot cheaper. The last 5-10 years have seen crazy population and rent growth.
