large housing development to replace Denver Studio Complex at 275 S. Cherokee

Location: 

multiple outlets yesterday announced that Wood Partners plans to build a 388-unit "community" to be named Alta Alameda Station at the site of the former Denver Studio Complex; construction is to begin "early May 2012", presumably with the demolition of the large studio complex, where the Perry Mason television series was filmed

Baker is E-X-P-A-N-D-I-N-G !

it's easy to become jaded at how perception of Baker as an area changes over time; a few examples:

  • when it comes to nightlife, and those wanting to live near it, the "Baker District" seems to mean anything within a few blocks of Broadway from 6th to Alameda (you may find "South Broadway" used well north of Ellsworth, the north/south divide in the street naming system; however this has a historical basis)

Crime rates around the old Gates Factory Cherokee Development?

A visitor to the site asked:

I am a community social work student at DU looking to find out more about
crime rates and incidences of the Gates Rubber factory/lot in recent years.
Would you have any insight as to where I could find out more information?

I believe that the Denver police department has a statistics group that can provide crime statistics with latitude, longitude, and nature of the crime over time. This report may have a nominal fee associated with it.

"Faboulus Victorian" (sic) in "Historic Baker"

i'll spare you the whole of the sloppy flyer and the details of this house for sale in Baker ... it's clearly not Victorian (it seems like an unadorned Denver Square with an ill-fitting veneer of grooved stucco)

whether it is Faboulus is open for debate; it has also been "remolded" (so states the flyer twice); and it's in "Historic Baker", the brand in which some realtors are wrapping our neighborhood

Cherokee gives back part of gates factory land/project

The Denver Post is reporting that Cherokee Denver, the potential developer of the former Gates factory has decided to abandon the project. They are retaining the 24 acre property on the West side of the railroad tracks and may sell that, but the property on the East side will revert to Gates ownership.
