Once the recession ended, people started moving to Denver in droves, and as a result, there are new construction projects going up all over town. While new high rises are going up in the downtown, LoDo, and Cherry Creek neighborhoods, here in University Park (close to the University of Denver), the apartment projects are more in the range of 5 stories. Just down the block from my condo building, "Modera Observatory Park" is going up quickly and will consist of two 5 story buildings totaling 275 apartments. If you calculate that each apartment will probably house an average of 3 D.U. students, each with a car but only one parking space per unit, we will soon see an additional 550 cars looking for a place to park each evening. It will soon be a 24 hour a day game of musical cars around here, just like the Lincoln Park neighborhood back in Chicago. Can the Denver version of the Lincoln Park Pirates (the University Park Pirates) be far behind? Watch out for those tow trucks, people!
