River North Investment Co. LLC is breaking ground on
Backyard on Blake, a residential, office, studio, restaurant and retail space built around a park and courtyard on Blake Street between 30th and 31st streets in Denver's River North neighborhood.
River North is redeveloping a 12,500-square-foot warehouse built in 1932 and a new building that wraps around the courtyard to connect with the warehouse. River North expects to collaborate with an experienced residential developer on the residential component at the 30th Street end of the development.
"RiNo has become a hotbed of creative business owners who have been moving to this neighborhood to experiment in new models of living and working," says Fiona Arnold, Principal of River North Investment. "We are passionate about renovating and rehabilitating this property in a unique way to serve the existing neighborhood, foster improved work/live opportunities and create a lasting anchor."
Designed by
Sprocket Design-Build, Backyard on Blake will capitalize on the raw materials and scale of the existing industrial building, paired with new architectural elements that create a synergistic blend of old and new.
"Backyard on Blake is a project born out of our passion for the RiNo area and the possibility to create something unique, enduring and community centered," Arnold says.
