While final details are still being reviewed by the City and County of Denver, Stonebridge Companies has begun building an 18-story hotel and office building at 4899 S. Quebec Street on a 2.36- acre site that was the previous home of a little-used two-story extended-stay motel built in 1995. The future owner appears to be DTC Urban Master LLC, according to Emily Collins, project coordinator for the Belleview Station area for the City and County of Denver. The registered agent for DTC Urban Master LLC is Howard Pollack, general counsel of Stonebridge Companies.

The new building, expected to be open next year, is directly west of the Belleview Light Rail train stop and east of the new 6900 Layton building approaching completion that will be the new home of Newmont Mining, relocating from Palazzo Verdi in Greenwood Village.

Atop three levels of underground parking that will accommodate 729 cars and 80 bicycles, there will be a firstfloor hotel lobby, 5,955 square feet of retail space, and three restaurants, two of which will have under 4,000 square feet of space each and one of which will have just under 7,000 square feet. There will also be a 4,000-square-foot spa on the first level.

The second floor of the new building will have a 16,489-square-foot conference center, a 3,893-squarefoot fitness center, a swimming pool and terrace, and another smaller spa. Floors three through seven will contain 235 hotel rooms. Floors eight through eighteen are designed to accommodate 355,419 square feet of office space.

The main entrance to the building will be on South Olive Street. The underground parking will be accessed from South Quebec Street. The Villager asked the City and County of Denver Department of Transportation and Infrastructure whether there was a traffic study required for this project. They told us:

A traffic study is not required for 4899 S Quebec Street, as the Belleview Station General Development Plan (GDP) outlines high-density development occurring in this area, as well as anticipated new development (such as what’s happening on Quebec Street). The plan incorporates any new traffic patterns that may come out of new development. We don’t anticipate this mixed-use building to have many impacts on local traffic than what was already identified in the plan.

Although this property is included in the City and County of Denver’s Belleview Station GDP, as stated above, it is not a part of the 51-acre Belleview Station planned unit development (PUD), to which it is adjacent. Front Range Land and Development is the master developer for the PUD.

Stonebridge Companies, headquartered in the Denver Tech Center, has a national portfolio of 63 hotels, including 32 under the Marriott brand and 22 Hilton properties. Nearly half of Stonebridge’s properties are in Colorado. Among those are the Jacquard Hotel and Rooftop in Cherry Creek and the DoubleTree Hotel in Greenwood Village.
