CFC Construction breaks ground on Venue on 16th

CFC Construction has broken ground on Venue on 16th, a 181-unit luxury apartment complex located on East 16th Avenue between Fillmore and Milwaukee streets.

Designed by JG Johnson Architects, the five-story building will offer residents contemporary living near City Park and is just minutes from downtown Denver. The project is expected to be completed in June 2016.

The project, developed by The Picerne Group, also includes two levels of underground parking, as well as a resort-style pool and spa with cabanas and barbecues and a top-floor sky lounge with views of the mountains and City Park.

"We are very excited to build a new relationship with The Picerne Group," says E.J. Olbright, CFC's founder and chief executive. "Venue on 16th is a landmark project in a landmark neighborhood, and it is our pleasure to serve as builder."

The 330-acre City Park is home to the Denver Zoo, the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, Ferril and Duck lakes and a boathouse. The park was created after the Colorado legislature in 1878 approved a bill to allow Denver to acquire 1,280 acres of state land to build parks. City Park became the largest tract turned into a park.
