Denver Union Station Wing Buildings

Semple Brown Design was selected to partner with Anderson Mason Dale Architects to design the two new buildings flanking the historic Denver Union Station. The buildings frame the new public plaza on the city side of the Station, establishing a “front porch” for arriving and departing passengers and an outdoor room for the Lower Downtown neighborhood. On the city side of the Station, the new buildings provide active edges of ground-level cafes, shops and pedestrian-oriented events. Both buildings are massed to defer to the Station’s height, and their highly transparent facades contrast with the solid masonry of the Station. The use of brick links them to the context of the neighborhood, but their contemporary detailing establishes an interface between the historic structures and the new development on the other side of the Station.

We first hired Semple Brown to assist in the design of the Wing Buildings at Union Station. We wanted to insure someone with SB’s understanding of human scale, retail dynamics and historic sensitivity was involved. Their role in the success of those 2 buildings, and consequently Wynkoop Plazas was essential.

Simplicity at Every Turn

Embracing an inclusive ethos, Hurley Place positions itself with the river as its focal point, inviting diverse communities and fostering economic vibrancy. The Riverfront development is comprised of two residential towers, a hotel tower, and an expansive central open space connecting to the river. This central connector is flanked by food & beverage and retail establishments and serves as both a connection to the Promenade but also a gathering space for the community.
