Nineteen pages of municipal records now track a frantic final sprint at 1565 N Colorado Blvd. In just 90 days, this single address has absorbed 18 distinct filings, a pace that outstrips typical Denver development activity by nearly 15 times.
This surge is not about breaking ground; it is the bureaucratic green light for tenants to walk through the door. The paperwork confirms the former Royal Palace Motel site is transitioning immediately from a construction zone into a functioning residential complex.
The filings are almost entirely focused on street occupancy and final inspections, signaling that the physical work is done. While the Laramar Group project has been under construction for months, this specific cluster of 18 permits represents the administrative conclusion to a massive build-out.
The site's history adds weight to the speed of these approvals. The historic motel structure was demolished to make way for a 155-unit high-density replacement. Earlier reports tracked the momentum building slowly—11 permits in early June, rising to 12 by mid-month—but the last three months have seen the pace accelerate dramatically.
On Colorado Blvd, this activity stands out against slower retail conversions nearby. While other developers like Floor & Decor navigate multi-year timelines for sites like the former Safeway, the residential turnover here suggests a finished product ready for keys in hand.
Residents on the block should expect final certificates of occupancy to issue within days, capping off a months-long sequence that began with demolition and culminated in this recent flood of regulatory filings. The transition from vacant lot to occupied apartment complex is effectively complete.
