Blah! Looks more suited for Woodbridge than Little Italy.

That's probably not the render for whatever's going to get built there.

This is very unfortunate. It looks like the ton of brick and stucco generic quickie developments that has been built in Denver when I was living there.
I really hope it's just a thoughtless placeholder.

If only we could pluck any random architect and a team of bricklayers from the 1890's and employ them in the present. They'd do this sort of commercial building properly. Pardon the flight of fancy, but I fear we're about to get stuck with a clunker on this corner.

My understanding is that the owner is in talks with a tenant to secure a nice restaurant in the ground floor. I understand it will not be some shabby chain thing but an independently run place. I dont know what the resto is but will update should I get more info. The commercial space in the upper floors will be useful in this area as it will provide a new source of local employment apart from immediate service sector. ill wait till its complete to pass judgement on aesthetics. windows could make or break

For high arches to feel grand, the horizontal space they encompass need to be broader. As it is designed, it looks like a gauche pretension, a bit like a stone lion in front of a wee house. The overall building is ok, but I really wish those arches only came as high as first level.

It's not visible in the photos above, but there's also a brick arch inside the southwest corner at a 45 degree angle. If you look closely at the render (post #16) it'll be above the entrance on the corner, which'll be set back facing the corner at the same angle.
