ith $300 million of new development
currently in the pipeline, the redevel-
opment of the old St. Anthony Hospital
campus – just across 17th Avenue from
Sloan’s Lake Park in West Denver – is not only tak-
ing shape, it’s become one of Denver’s most promi-
nent areas for reinvestment. The first three projects
are nearing completion in the burgeoning West Col-
fax neighborhood, and construction is underway on
several new ones. Project developers and new busi-
nesses also have joined forces to create a single uni-
fying brand and identity for the community: Sloans.
All of the recent activity, along with the multimillion
dollar residential, office and retail developments on
the near horizon, has turned Sloans into the next cen-
tral Denver “hot spot” for people who want a great urban
address to live, work and play. Not long ago, Sloans was
largely overlooked as a place for reinvestment and cultur-
al activity, but it has turned the corner and today is a neighborhood
filled with promise and potential.
The projects that are forming the new landscape at Sloans are:
Alexan.
Developed by Trammell Crow Residential, the Alexan is a 369-
unit apartment complex located at 1550 Raleigh St. and is in the midst
of residential lease-up. The complex, which includes ground floor re-
tail space, will welcome its first retail tenant, a second location for
Highland Tap & Burger, later this year.
Perry Row.
Construction is underway on 64 row homes at Conejos
and Perry Streets, within walking distance of the Perry Street light-rail
station. The contemporary three- and four-story units, each with its
own rooftop deck, range from the mid-$400,000 to the mid-$700,000.
LakeHouse.
NAVA Development is preparing to start construction on
an eight-story tower and a 12-story tower that will be home to 193
for-sale condos, as well as 13 street-level row homes, and ground-floor
retail. An on-site sales center is open for business on at 17th Avenue
and Stuart (overlooking Sloan’s Lake). Among LakeHouse’s many ame-
nities will be its WELL certification, a third-party building standard
that focuses on health and well-being.
Alamo Drafthouse Cinema.
Construction is underway on the eight-
screen movie complex, which will sit on West Colfax Avenue at Stuart
Street and could open by late first quarter 2017. Bar Fly, the in-house
