Publisher’s Note

Housing. Options.

W

ell, construction is continuing at a rapid clip

in our Colorado cities – from office and retail

(yes, retail) to hospitality and health care.

When it comes to housing – with options

being built today that run the gamut from

affordable to luxury – thoughtful planning and design re-

main top of mind. Whether it’s zoning considerations, as

described by guest columnist Mark Johnson, or the addi-

tion of accessory dwelling units, which are about to be-

come the next big thing, according to columnist Andre

Baros, everyone has a stake in the outcome as our commu-

nities continues to grow.

As for luxury, this quarter’s cover story delivers. Country

Club Towers II and III are rising adjacent to the original

Country Club property, an apartment community that has

long been part of the North Washington Park neighbor-

hood. Not only does the 34-story Broe Real Estate Group

development take advantage of the spectacular views, of-

fering floor-to-ceiling bay windows in each apartment, but

also it caters to residents’ canine companions with dedicat-

ed boarding and day spa.

Feature stories in this issue dive into how Tryba Archi-

tects is connecting the dots to make better cities; and how

an acquisition in the middle of designing a new Boulder

office didn’t throw Elsy Studios off course for a minute.

We also take a look at the transformation of John Aten-

cio stores into art galleries, the revival of Denver’s street-

car legacy and how human services were centralized in St.

Vrain with an emphasis on great design.

End user stories include one about Unique Properties,

which transformed the former Girl Scouts headquarters

on South Broadway, and another about FourPoint Energy,

which built out its space in the new Cherry Creek First-

Bank building. And that’s just the beginning.

As Colorado continues its march forward, let’s keep the

dialogue going.
