twin tower denver apartment complex gets zoning ok

Yet one more big apartment building is moving towards construction in Denver, this one going up in the city’s University Hills section.

The Denver-based development company Q Factor wants to build two tower structures on the southeast corner of Evans Avenue and S. Colorado Boulevard.

One tower will have 12 floors, connected by an elevated bridge to a second 8-story tower.

The project has now won the unanimous approval for a site zoning change that will allow for the construction of the higher tower.

According to documents submitted to the Denver City Council, Q Factor describes itself as specializing in “creative design and thoughtful place-making in urban environments.”

Those documents also state that the company is committed to building a development that will be in tune “with the community’s character.”

The complex will have nearly 90 apartment units, as well as a hotel with up to 130 rooms and a restaurant.

The site is currently the home to a dry cleaner and former liquor store. It was also once the home of the Deadbeat Club, a popular nightclub that was heavily damaged by fire in the fall of 2015.
