/ BUILDING DIALOGUE / MARCH 2017

“Over the top of that cut, though, we have a gorgeous swim-

ming pool cantilevered out toward the park with a glass wall,”

said Gromatzky. “It’s really stunning.

“As much as I would like to take credit for (the cut through),

I really have to give credit to the people, both with the neigh-

borhood and the city of Denver for having the foresight to

preserve that beautiful view down through the building out

to the South Platte and the REI building. It’s going to create

a gorgeous plaza space to draw people from the city to come

through that space, to penetrate the building and then move

on out to the park.”

Another public draw will be two restaurants, as yet un-

named, that will be on the ground level on opposite sides of

the cut through will patios spilling out onto the park.

Brick and other masonry materials are used at the base of

the midrise and low-rise, to create texture at the street level,

but also to mimic the use of masonry elsewhere in the area.

According to Gromatzky, “We wanted something warm and

textural for people to move against. The building itself, obvi-

ously, is a contemporary expression and we use high-perfor-

mance glass and metal panels on most of the tower itself but

the first four to five floors down below is a lot of masonry and,

frankly, I think it's going to marry perfectly with the neighbor-

hood.”

Nail and Gromatzky both say the building was built with

sustainability in mind and that it will achieve LEED Gold cer-

tification.

Nail is currently looking at sites in Denver for new projects

to develop. And according to Gromatzky, “We see Denver really

coming on now as a real estate power. The city has done a great

job of continuing to foster beautiful neighborhoods, work with

their parks department, pay attention to their open spaces and

protect their historical venues that are treasures for Denver.

“I can’t say enough about the city of Denver and the build-

ing officials. They’ve been very, very accommodating and have

worked well with us. I think both sides have really striven to

deliver a high-quality project for the neighborhood. We’re re-

ally proud of this. We think this is going to be one of the nicest

buildings we've ever done. I think The Confluence will set a

new standard for Colorado multifamily.”

It will certainly set a record. As of press time, it will be the

tallest for rent structure in the state of Colorado.

Each apartment will have high-end, luxury finishes throughout.
