Denver-based Mainspring expects to break ground in the first half of 2020 on a five-story hostel at 3030 Welton St., dubbed Cabarita House, according to a company executive.

Plans call for 80 beds in shared rooms, as well as 11 private rooms.


Maybe: Train (RiNo)

This also appeared on our office groundbreakings list.

Denver-based Invent Development Partners and New York-based partner Halpern Real Estate Ventures hope to break ground on their project dubbed Train near RiNo’s 38th and Blake station in either the fourth quarter of 2020 or the first quarter of 2021, according to an Invent executive. Plans call for hundreds of hotel rooms.


What’s not on here?

Developers behind proposals for a 14-story hotel at 270 14th St., an eight-story hotel at 1637-1655 Blake St., a 12-story hotel at 3660 Brighton Blvd. and a 12-story hotel at 370 S. Garfield St. either didn’t respond to a request for comment or declined to discuss when they expect to break ground.

A Mortenson executive, meanwhile, said the company has “not made any definitive decisions” regarding the eight-story, 192-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel the company proposed at 2099 Chestnut Place. The project was dealt a blow when the city rejected Mortenson’s bid late last year for 5,074 square feet of adjacent right-of-way.

  1. Hostels? How interesting. What a great way to attract younger tourists to our city. It’s the only way I was able to make my way through Europe as a young person.

  2. Does anyone have insight on the Ace Hotel that was proposed for 19th & Logan? That looked like such a cool project.
