A home in Capitol Hill was demolished and cleared for occupancy in just six days.
This rapid turnaround at 1386 S Garfield St suggests a shift in how developers are navigating Denver's permitting system to replace older housing stock with new construction.
City records show a demolition permit (2025-DEMO-0000744) was issued on February 25, 2026. By March 3, 2026, the city had already issued an occupancy permit (PW-0002890) for the new structure. The timeline follows a final inspection filing on February 19.
For residents near Colfax Ave and the wider Capitol Hill area, this project serves as a data point for how quickly the neighborhood's physical landscape can change when developers use parallel permitting and pre-construction planning to bypass traditional delays.
