largest rail yard in the state at the time — Union Station — and served as a dry
goods distribution center with barge service from Hogans Creek.
More than a century later, Columbia Ventures, an Atlanta-based developer with
a track record in historic, adaptive reuse, purchased the building in 2018. Then,
it was a 97% occupied, industrial building mostly home to storage, but it also
hosted a range of tenants like a signage company and a guitar maker.

Now, seven years and $73 million later, the 330,000-square-foot warehouse is
home to 228 apartment units, 43 small offices of about 100-500 square feet,
restaurant space, a basement with 11 flex spaces and Vantage Point Coffee
which will build-out the existing shell space soon. The first resident will mo
in on Feb. 1, and a ribbon cutting ceremony will be held March 6.

Filings made this month at the state level paint a clearer picture of what a sizable development could bring to a growing area west of Midtown—and when.

The mixed-use Blandtown project, called Huber West Midtown, would deliver nearly 850 multifamily units across 9 acres on several properties spanning between 1575 and 1593 Huber St.

The site is adjacent to active railroad lines, just east of Topgolf Atlanta, Ellsworth Industrial Boulevard, and businesses such as Scope Fine Art and Steady Hand Beer Co. A new segment of the Atlanta Beltline’s 22-mile loop is under construction roughly a block south.

The Auraria Campus will soon break ground on its ambitious housing and retail development project.

The first phase of construction is expected to start this summer on the Auraria Campus’ Ballfield Project, which seeks to breathe new life into the Tivoli Quad at 11th Street and Auraria Parkway.

The project will bring non-student residents back to the campus for the first time in decades.

What is now the home to Denver’s three public institutions of higher education — the University of Colorado Denver, Metropolitan State University of Denver and the Community College of Denver — was once a bustling community of immigrants.
