Denver's Governor's Park neighborhood is threatened by the proposal of an out-of-state developer to build a mammoth apartment complex that would make a mess of the neighborhood: Racine's Restaurant would be razed, mountain views would be obscured, traffic would choke streets, and a dark tower would lord over the Grant-Humphreys Mansion and nearly every condo and apartment in the neighborhood.
13 stories
305 apartments
146 feet tall
It would be the largest apartment complex built anywhere in Capitol Hill - ever.
The undersigned Capitol Hill residents hereby urge Councilman Chris Hinds and Mayor Michael Hancock to oppose this way-out-of-scale project, and keep the Governor's Park neighborhood the gem it is and has been for decades.

The height of this building is too tall. Please only allow 6-7 stories. As I grew up on Humboldt Street in 1960's, homes were razed in the 1200 block. What a shame to allow such tall structures. This looks too much like the buildings on Speer that encompass the entire lot.
Please do not allow a developer to ruin our historic neighborhood! We live here for the view, the sense of community, and access to businesses like Racine's restaurant. Please do not allow this intrusion!!
I work at this intersection, and have seen 4 apartment complexes erected in the last 3 years. The construction is a disturbance to businesses, employees, and community members that have been here for years. We do not need more luxury housing in this area.
Please stay out of our historic Capitol Hill. Unless the developer, NOT Denver tax payers, plan to invest in the infrastructure to support the increase in traffic and adequate parking this is a terrible idea. I am sick of hearing that millennials do not have cars. YES THEY DO! This is Colorado not NYC.
To Chris, you live in the neighborhood, i see you at trader joes. Don't let this happen. I voted for you, i support your bike lanes and sidewalk projects. This building is what is wrong with new-Denver. Please help us.
Too croweded already
This development would be a grotesque blight on the Cap Hill neighborhood.

What about some "responsible" development with site sensitive, street/pedestrian oriented approach, some thought to sense of place and community. We do NOT need another monstrosity with inadequate setbacks, no landscaping, no concern for the stress of the proposed development on the neighborhood. For shame.
