The developers of
Z Block have changed the project's name to Dairy Block to better reflect the site's history as a former dairy.
The full square block is currently under construction to redevelop the site into a mxied-use office, hotel and retail destination on Denver's historic Windsor Dairy Block along Wazee and Blake streets between 18th and 19th streets.
"The rich history of the Windsor Dairy Block is remarkable," says Chad McWhinney, chief executive and co-founder of Loveland-based development firm
McWhinney. "We felt it iwas important to have a name that pays homage to the significance of the block's history."
McWhinney is partnering with Grand American Inc. and
Sage Hospitality on the development. The partnership's goal is to create a place in LoDo that blends historical heritage with a new, vibrant place that elevates the experience.
The 600,000-square-foot development will have 250,000 square feet of office space, a 172-room hotel, 60,000 square feet of restaurant and retail space and a 394-car below-grade parking garage -- all of which are integrated into three of the historic Windsor Dairy Block buildings.
