Heather Noyes walks along the northern reaches of northwest Denver’s Tennyson Street district and sizes up what has been built over the past decade, replacing house after house.

She and other longtime residents repeatedly see this from the sidewalk: a bank of gas meters, a fire door and perhaps a storage closet window. Newer buildings might have a solitary front door.

As in several other older neighborhoods in Denver, the landscape is now dominated by hundreds of “slot” homes, which feature sideways-facing townhomes stacked horizontally to the alley.

Noyes says she felt “blind-sided” by the kind of development that unfolded after Denver city leaders adopted a new zoning code in 2010 — a land-use plan that notably adopted Berkeley neighborhood leaders’ support for more intense development along Tennyson, especially between West 44th and 46th avenues.

“We wanted mixed-use. We wanted more people, more families over here,” says Noyes, who works out of a landscape architecture office on..

Aftershocks from the third-strongest earthquake ever to strike Hawaii rumbled through the Puna area of the Big Island Saturday while lava from Kilauea volcano flowing from eight fissures “went quiet” after destroying at least five homes.

The homes destroyed by the lava were located in the Leilani Estates subdivision on the east rift of Kilauea, where the lava activity had slowed by Saturday afternoon, local media reported.

The subdivision is downslope from the Puu Oo crater, where a total of eight…

Zimmerman Architectural Studios does not have a pool table or a foosball game for its employees. It doesn't have a fully-stocked bar or a roof top deck. But what the Milwaukee architectural firm does have at its Menomonee Valley office is a beautiful 1902 historic building that offers tons of natural light, several large gathering areas and an immense pride from its employees.

The building still even includes some of the machinery from the Milwaukee Gas Light Co. building when it was operated as…

Dallas-based Ashlar Development LLC's The Groves, an almost 1,000-acre master-planned community northeast of Houston, will open its new $2.5 million amenity center, called The Hearth, on May 5.

The outdoor space features a covered pavilion with extra-long picnic tables, a gas fireplace, a pool set to open Memorial Day, a lighted great lawn, play and lounge areas as well as several green rocking chairs to take in the view of Madera Creek that runs along the entire width of the development.

The building will include 22 units for people with disabilities.An apartment project going up in Denver’s Globeville neighborhood will provide housing for two groups that advocates say have too few places to live in Denver: people with disabilities and those who make less than the area median income.

The Elisabetta project will bring 91 apartments to 5120 Broadway, a vacant lot known as the “west campus” for Laradon, a nonprofit organization that since 1948 has provided services to local infants, children and adults with disabilities.

Once the Elisabetta is completed late next year, it will house 22 apartments reserved for people with disabilities. All 91 one-, two- and three-bedroom units there will be rented to people making 60 percent or less of the area median annual income: $63,000. Eleven will be reserved for people makin..

Chelsea Self, Post IndependentThe new tiny home is 364-square-foot and has a full bathroom, a washer and dryer, a toilet, multiple sleeping areas, storage spaces, and a full kitchen.Hideout Creekside Village was once part of the Midland Railroad, where coal was transported from the Sunlight Mine down to the county road now known as Midland Avenue in Glenwood Springs and onto the main rail line.

In 1888, a fur trader purchased that railroad and built a series of cabins and storage spaces spanning the next 20 to 30 years.

Now, the campground, which has housed more than 40 RVs, is changing once again. This time, its pioneers are looking to create a more affordable space with a greater sense of community.

“And that’s what we’re trying to build,” said Beau Haines, the current owner of the historical campsite. “A community of like-minded people that want quality of life rather than size of home.”

Denver’s River North Art District has emerged as an attractive day-trip destination for tourists in recent years. Walk around, check out the street art, dine at a diverse and growing number of restaurants and drink at hip bars.

Once they day is done, though, it’s time for RiNo visitors to jump in Lyfts bound for hotels in the Central Business District or, if it’s a locals’ experience they want, hoof it to the Airbnb in the neighborhood. Right?

Not anymore.

RiNo welcomed its first hotel Monday, when The Ramble opened for business. The 33,000-square-foot, 50-room boutique brings life to a patch of land at the corner 25th and Larimer streets that the hotel’s creator, Gravitas Development Group, has been holding onto for eight years.

“Every great neighborhood needs a great boutique hotel,” Gravitas partner Ryan Diggins said last week. “For me, this is the neighborhood I spend all my time in. This is where I eat, drink and explore — and the hotel was the logical extension of that.”

The Pearl Brewery was established in 1883, known then as the City Brewery.

Houston Street was once one of San Antonio’s most important entertainment corridors, connecting multiple theaters that attracted diverse audiences and serving as a snapshot of this multicultural city.

“It was a huge project to do on top of everything else we were doing,” said Zoox CEO Tim Kentley-Klay. Zoox pulled off the major remodeling of the more than 125,000-square-foot commercial and office space for $175 per square foot.
