RedPeak Properties has started construction on the $5 million renovation of The Burnsley Hotel to convert it into an apartment building. It has been renamed
The Burnsley at 1000 Grant.
The renovation, to be completed in September, will maintain the historic character and charm of the property’s original architecture and design while bringing the 50-year-old building in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood up to modern-day standards and transforming it into one of Denver's most desirable apartment communities.
"The Burnsley is a trophy property in downtown Denver, and we're very excited to be underway with renovation work which will make it a premier place to live and enjoy all of the great things the city has to offer," said Mike Zoellner, CEO of RedPeak Properties.
W.E. O'Neil Construction, general contractor for the project, will convert 84 hotel rooms into modern-day apartment homes and add four penthouses to the top floors of the property. The property's mechanical, electrical, plumbing and life safety systems will be upgraded to meet today's standards.
The first two floors will provide amenity areas and services to residents, and the building's facade will be repaired.
RedPeak Properties purchased The Burnsley Hotel in December Joy Burns, who owned the property for over 40 years. The 17-story all-suite property has a rich history as a downtown Denver landmark. The Burnsley Hotel was originally constructed as an apartment community in 1963 before being converted into a hotel and jazz club, which quickly gained popularity.
