R ising high at 2166 15th Street
in Denver is The Confluence,
an ultra-luxury, 34-story, 288-
unit apartment community,
aptly named because of its
unique location at the con-
fluence of Cherry Creek and the South
Platte River.
“The Confluence is setting the bar for
luxury renters,” says Bryant Nail, executive
vice president of Houston-based PMRG.
“There is nothing like it on the market.”
The three-building lineup of high-rise,
low-rise and midrise is a dazzling mix of
curves, glass, metal and masonry. And its
location in the Central Platte Valley is as
historic as it is ideal.
“Bryant has this amazing ability to,
somehow, find the best sites in major cit-
ies around the country,” says Charles Gro-
matzky, Confluence’s lead architect, and
founder and managing principle for GDA
Architects in Dallas. “There’s no question
that the site of The Confluence is the best
one he’s found to date.”
The Confluence will offer studio, one-,
two- and three-bedroom apartments,
along with two top-floor penthouses.
Many apartments and the two penthous-
es will have direct elevator access and
monthly rents will range from $1,500 to
$12,500.
And it’s all quite a remarkable transfor-
mation for this legendary piece of land.
