One River North Residences

One of the most architecturally distinctive projects to start construction in the River North (RiNo) neighborhood of Denver, One River North Residences is located right across the street from the 38th and Blake RTD Light Rail Station. 

The design architect, MAD Architects, is based out of Beijing, China, and local Denver architect-of-record, Davis Partnership, designed one of the most iconic buildings downtown Denver will encounter. This project will entail building high-rise, luxury for rent residences with ground-floor retail. The structure will feature a carved-out, 4-story core, resembling a slot canyon, comprising over 13,000 square feet of water elements and landscaping. The 343,000-square-foot building will also include the following:

• Three levels of underground parking
• 16 stories above grade
• 187 residential units
• 9,000 square feet of retail space
• Post-tensioned concrete
• Pool and waterfall
• Rooftop and open spaces

Saunders’ construction operations team was heavily involved in the preconstruction and pre-planning efforts. As seen on many downtown Denver projects, the team is expected to perform de-watering operations while excavating the site for underground parking. Construction on the residential space started in mid-2021 with completion slated for late 2023.
