Phase 3 Underway Between Glenarm Place and
Tremont Place

Full-block construction fencing has been removed between Glenarm Place and Tremont Place (Block 10), and Phase 3 of renovations has begun!
During Phase 3, the project team completes any final, small-scale work while the Downtown Denver Business Improvement District (BID) begins installing the final furnishings, fixtures and equipment along 16th Street. The installation of the final touches including furniture, planters, trash cans and other special elements that will introduce the New Look on 16th Street may occur after Phase 3 of construction is complete, depending on the BID’s schedule, timelines of deliveries and weather.
These activities could have safety fencing or cones around them, but only in the area where crews are working. The BID will work directly with property owners to coordinate patio installations following the installation of these final touches.
Did you know that maps of the planned public life features (seating, play structures, etc.) for each block are available on the project website?
