Platte Fifteen Construction to Begin Soon in Denver

Platte and 15^th Streets, formerly the home of Natural Grocers and Confluence Kayaks, will soon become the site for Platte Fifteen — a 151,736-square-foot mixed-use retail and restaurant space and 7,000-square-foot rooftop deck. Designed by OZ Architecture, developed by Crescent Real Estate, LLC and to be built by Adolfson & Peterson Construction, Platte Fifteen signifies the first building in Denver to be constructed of cross-laminated timber (CLT) — a material that is both sustainable, stable and aesthetically pleasing, mimicking the look of heavy, old-growth lumber.

In fact, OZ Architecture is one of the first firms in Colorado to design with CLT. Loading Dock, a former warehouse turned modern office, integrates CLT into the walls, floors, roof and structure, and was the first CLT building in Boulder.

Platte Fifteen is the first in a three-part series of new builds in the vicinity of the 15^th and Platte intersection. Next will be the 81,570-square-foot Riverpoint Two across the street, next to the historic My Brother’s Bar. The final phase will be the 108,739-square-foot redevelopment of Crescent’s original Riverpoint building at 2300 15^th Street, which includes a view over Confluence Park and a bridge linking it to Riverpoint Two.

The neighborhood has been gaining more attention as a tech-centric place to live and work, with easy access to downtown’s modern amenities as well as recreation activities on the Cherry Creek and Platte River and their adjacent trails.
