PROJECT INTRODUCTIONSummary

This proposed project, located at 2136 Lawrence Street in the Arapahoe Square district of Denver, is a

34-story building with 441 residential units and street level office/retail space. The site is situated mid-

block, measures 225’ by 125’, and is served by a 16’ alley.

To reflect the Design Guidelines and Zoning parameters for Arapahoe Square, the building fronts

Lawrence Street at the lower pedestrian levels with active commercial and amenity spaces located

in front of the structured parking. At the sixth level, the mass of the building steps back ten feet in

accordance with the Design Standards & Guidelines.

The proposed building consists of 28 floors of studio, 1-bedroom and 3-bedroom units over a 5-level

podium of amenity and commercial spaces. The above ground parking structure containing 278 parking

spaces is located behind the amenity spaces and will not be visible on the Lawrence street façade.

Height of the ground level space is 22’, level 2 to 4 amenity levels are 14’-0”, and the residential levels

are at 9’-8”, for approximately 362’ total building height, with parapets included.

The typical residential floor is comprised of 16 units, 11 of which are studios at 360 sq. ft. in size. Three

1-bedroom units per floor measure 560 sq. ft., while two other 3-bedroom variations measures 1,125

sq. ft.

Building Character

Kenect Denver is intended to be an integrated part of the community and in both design and function.

The building massing is design as a gradually scaled and simple composition of integrated forms that

responds to urban/environmental orientations and the public realm. The ground level will be an open

plan lobby that will accommodate both retail and social functions in parallel with the residential entry.

Street activity will be welcomed with outdoor dining areas and expanded sidewalk at the north side

of the site. Lining the parking garage will be double height amenity and co-working spaces which will

be broken down from a massing perspective into an articulated series of bays that will relate to the

surrounding character of the adjacent neighborhood. A full amenity deck will ground the tower at level

6 and the architecture of the tower will be designed as a complimentary composition of a fully glazed

bar along the north side and a more solid punched window expression at the south.

Nathan Savage Candy Company

Building

2158-2162 Lawrence St.Built: 1910Site: 125’ x 50’Ordinance Number: 981Ordinance Year: 1994

The Savage Candy Company, founded in Pueblo in 1888, built this Denver factory where some 65 employees made everything from children’s penny treats to chocolate extravaganzas.

The Phoenix Concept, a social services provider, purchased the building in 1993 and embarked upon a $650,000 restoration focusing on the roof, foundation, basement floor, wood framing, following asbestos removal.

This two-story, red-brick commercial building with storefronts has fancy brickwork, notable especially in the parapet, pediment, and angled corner entry.
