We’ve been chronicling Denver’s changes by neighborhood — where should we look next?
If there’s a project you want us to look into or a neighborhood that’s seeing a lot of development tell us.

So far this year, Denverite’s dived into big projects in six areas throughout the city that are getting taller, denser and millions of development dollars.
Sometimes development takes the shape of new buildings replacing warehouses and parking lots like in Arapahoe Square, Golden Triangle and RiNo. In other areas, like South Broadway and Capitol Hill, it’s about adding new projects without ruining the established character of the area.
In the case of University, University Hills and University Park, it was a little bit of both.
Each neighborhood is facing its own hurdles and opportunities with development, and we want to know about them.
Have you been curious about a certain Denver project or block of construction that you pass on your daily commute or near your home? Point it out to us, or better yet, send us a photo.
Email [email protected] or tweet at @adriandgarcia, and we’ll check out the development you want to know about. Have a non-development Denver question? Ask us here.
