Basically the new HB 1279 and State Supreme Court rulings have made it more difficult for an HOA to sue the builder. The cost of insurance and potential threat of litigation slowed the construction of condos down to a crawl for several years. Here are a couple of articles if you are interested.

1144 15th Street (Hines project that started around the same time as BOK Park Plaza) has topped out. Looks pretty good IMO.

I think this is misleading as I don't believe they cover every large metropolitan area (Houston, Dallas, Miami, etc. don't seem to be covered) but still impressive:

A prior entry had put this building at about 800 feet. Note this has apparently been upped to 1000

Literally the opposite of most OKC developments lol.

I'd so move to Denver if I could afford it.

It's ridiculous here. My commute time is increasing on average about 3 minutes per month.

Amen to that and only going to get worse! Just wait until they start the I-70 construction. I'm hoping to have moved by then. :D

Here's a pretty cool new project planned in Uptown to convert the old Denver Cathedral High School into a boutique hotel (rumor is an Ace Hotel) with an 11-story addition.

I'm mostly moving for family reasons, but I certainly won't miss the traffic. Where do you live?

Some much needed new for-sale housing is being proposed in RiverNorth:

I am trying to remember an old record/cd store I used to go to in the mid 90s in the Western part of Denver, I think it was around the Denver West or Union Square area. It might have gotten gobbled up by Colorado Mills. Bought many a CD and tape there and have been nostalgic remembering buying music there. Thanks

Hopefully, the start of many condos. Need a ton of affordable housing
