1900 Lawrence Street, Denver

Nearly four decades after making a bold move into LoDo, the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority is preparing for another major change to its Denver headquarters.

New plans provide the first detailed look inside CHFA’s future offices at 1900 Lawrence, where the organization plans to relocate in 2027. CHFA is building out approximately 25,000 square feet on the 17th floor, with open work areas, private offices, focus rooms, conference rooms, a large multipurpose space and expansive views across Denver.

The move will end a notable chapter in LoDo history. CHFA purchased its longtime headquarters at 1981 Blake Street in 1989, six years before Coors Field opened. At the time, establishing a major office there was a much different proposition than it is today. Over the following decades, CHFA watched the neighborhood transform around it as Coors Field helped catalyze new restaurants, hotels, apartments and businesses.

Now CHFA is trading its roughly 73,000-square-foot standalone property for a smaller, more modern workplace inside one of Denver’s newest office towers.

OZ Architecture is designing the new space, with Rand Construction serving as general contractor. The new headquarters is expected to open in 2027.

6090 E. 39th Avenue

We Don’t Waste is planning another expansion of its Food Recovery Hub in North Park Hill, just a few years after moving into the facility.

Plans submitted to the City of Denver call for an approximately 6,824-square-foot addition that would expand food storage, warehousing, loading and distribution capacity while adding covered outdoor distribution space, a community garden and greenhouse.

Founded in 2009 by Arlan Preblud, We Don’t Waste began with surplus food being collected from restaurants and other businesses in a Volvo station wagon. Today, the nonprofit redistributes recovered food through pantries, shelters, schools, soup kitchens and Mobile Food Markets across the metro area.

The proposed expansion would bring the facility to roughly 35,000 square feet, with additional cooler and freezer space, dry storage, an expanded loading dock and a roughly 5,000-square-foot marketplace and food pantry expansion.
Plans also include new garden and greenhouse space for food production and community education.

The project, designed by Naos Design Group, remains under city review.

5185 National Western Drive | Oktoberfest - The Denver Wiesn

A new Oktoberfest celebration is coming to the National Western Center this month, bringing two weekends of Bavarian food, b**r, live entertainment and a 108-foot observation wheel to the campus.

Oktoberfest - The Denver Wiesn will debut October 16-18 and return October 22-25, running from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. each day. General admission is free.

The festival is being produced by the Bavarian Guild for Colorado and Wyoming and grew out of the City2City Munich-Denver Economic Partnership signed in 2024. Programming will include Bavarian-inspired food and drinks, an artisan market, live entertainment, contests and activities across the National Western Center campus.

One of the biggest attractions will be a 108-foot observation wheel with views toward downtown Denver and the Rocky Mountains.

Guests can also reserve seating inside the main festival hall for a more traditional Bavarian dinner experience. Reservations are $115 per person plus tax and include a three-hour seating with table service and a family-style meal featuring rotisserie chicken, roasted pork shoulder, sausages, bread dumplings, sauerkraut and more.

Hofbräu b**r from Munich will be served, while additional vendors will offer pretzels, bratwurst, döner, pierogi, ice cream and other German-inspired food.
Parking is $15, and the 48th & Brighton station is one stop from Union Station.

Stranahan’s Colorado Wh***ey is preparing to open a new wh***ey bar and lounge at Denver International Airport, with plans showing a roughly 3,341-square-foot restaurant on the mezzanine level of Concourse A’s center core.
The space includes approximately 2,642 square feet of dining and seating area plus another 719 square feet for the kitchen, service line and back-of-house. Plans show 67 customer seats, with a long central bar, lounge seating and a patio-style seating area overlooking the terminal.

Renderings show a warm, Colorado-focused design with wood finishes, illuminated wh***ey displays, replica aspen trunks, decorative metal screening and prominent Stranahan’s branding.

The menu leans heavily into both Stranahan’s wh***ey and Colorado flavors. Wh***ey offerings include Original, Blue Peak, Sherry Cask, Diamond Peak, Mountain Angel 10 Year and 12 Year, and Single Barrel.

Cocktails include the Blue Fashion with Blue Peak, bitters and a house-made cherry, plus the Gold Rush Twist with Stranahan’s Original, honey syrup, lemon and absinthe.

The food menu goes well beyond bar snacks. Breakfast options include a Mile High Breakfast Plate, Rocky Mountain omelet and Palisade peach French toast. Later in the day, the menu includes a green chile beef sandwich, short rib melt, crab mac and cheese, shrimp and grits, and wh***ey and caramelized onion soup made with Stranahan’s Colorado wh***ey.

Colorado breweries including Great Divide, Denver B**r Co., Station 26, Bierstadt Lagerhaus and Breckenridge Brewery also appear on the draft b**r list.

MMW Architects is listed as the architect, with Select Commercial identified as the contractor.

Once completed, the lounge will give one of Colorado’s best-known wh***ey brands a major presence inside DEN while adding another distinctly local food and beverage option to Concourse A.

20–40 Galapago Street

18 new townhomes are taking shape on a former industrial site in Denver’s Baker neighborhood.

The project, known as Galapago 18, is being developed by 303 Dev Group and includes 18 three-story residences with private garages, rooftop decks and contemporary exterior finishes. MMD Architecture Studio designed the project, while Raptor Civil Engineering provided civil engineering services for the redevelopment of the site.

This isn’t the first time the team has worked together. 303 Dev Group, MMD Architecture and Raptor Civil Engineering are also behind the 24-unit Washington Townhomes project near Swedish Medical Center that we covered earlier this year.

The Galapago site is just a short walk from Dailey Park, which served as the center of Denver’s PorchFest this past Saturday.

The project also continues the gradual transition of former industrial land along this part of central Denver toward residential and mixed-use development. To the north, the former Burnham Yard rail property is planned for redevelopment around the Broncos’ future stadium and surrounding uses. To the south, Santa Fe Yards is beginning its own transition from industrial land with Summit FC’s future stadium and additional development.

Stay tuned as we track this project through completion.

5869 S. Alkire Street, Littleton | Summit Steak Bar

A husband-and-wife restaurant team from the Chicago area has returned to the industry in Colorado with the opening of Summit Steak Bar.

George and Tammy previously operated multiple restaurants around Chicago before moving to Colorado to be closer to family, thinking their restaurant careers were behind them. After settling in Conifer, George went on to summit all of Colorado’s 14ers, and the couple eventually realized they needed a little more excitement in their lives. When another restaurant began taking shape, Summit Steak Bar made perfect sense.

Inside, much of the experience is built around the beef program, including an in-house butcher shop and aging room. The menu features USDA Prime, Certified Angus Beef and premium Wagyu.

One standout is Miyazaki Japanese A5 Wagyu with a BMS 12 marbling score, the highest end of the Japanese beef marbling scale. It’s served tableside on a hot stone with fresh wasabi, ponzu and flaky sea salt.

During our visit, we also tried the Wagyu ribeye and filet, Wagyu tartare, Below Sea Level seafood dish, garlic fried rice, mushrooms, crispy Brussels sprouts and huckleberry sauce.

Beyond the dining room, the team is developing a 1920s New Orleans-inspired speakeasy with custom leather and woodwork.

We attended Summit’s grand opening last week and came away very impressed. More importantly, it didn’t feel like a grand opening. The service, food and ex*****on felt like the team had been operating here for years. We can easily see Summit becoming one of our favorite steakhouses in the Denver metro and replacing a few bigger names on our go-to list.

George and Tammy aren’t finished. They’ve also leased the retail space on the opposite side of Bevy’s Liquor World, where they plan to open an Italian pizzeria-style concept, effectively placing Bevy’s between their two restaurants.

1401 E. 54th Ave | Denver’s largest nature park has officially opened in Globeville.

Carpio-Sanguinette Park & Heron Pond Open Space transforms roughly 80 acres of former industrial land into trails, overlooks, restored wildlife habitat, a regional playground, pavilion, pump track and new connections to the South Platte River Greenway.

The opening comes more than three decades after environmental cleanup began here in 1994. The project also includes a nine-acre stormwater system designed to capture sediment and debris from runoff draining approximately 700 acres before it reaches the South Platte River.

Zoom out and this is another major investment in a part of Denver seeing significant change.

The National Western Center is being redeveloped just southeast of the park. The new Globeville Library and Community Hub is under construction to the southwest. Major improvements to 58th Avenue were completed last year to the north. Farther west, Fox Park is moving forward alongside continued transit-oriented development around the 41st & Fox station, while thousands of new residences and businesses have been added across the river in RiNo.

For a neighborhood historically divided by highways, railroads and industrial uses, a significant amount of public and private investment is now concentrated in and around Globeville.

And unlike many of those projects, these 80 acres are being returned to the neighborhood largely as nature, recreation and public open space.

Denver’s first PorchFest takes over the Baker neighborhood this Saturday, October 3, turning porches, yards, driveways and garages into stages for a full afternoon of live music.

The free, volunteer-run festival will feature nearly 200 local artists performing across more than 80 neighborhood locations from noon to 7 PM. There’s no single main stage. Instead, the idea is to walk through Baker, catch different sets and discover artists playing throughout the neighborhood.

Dailey Park will serve as one of the main hubs with food trucks, local vendors and a b**r garden, while additional activity will stretch toward South Broadway. The festival is all ages and runs rain or shine.
