Uses within a mixed-use building are colored with a very “broad brush” you might say, with ground floors and other parts of buildings that are planned to have other uses, like retail or parking, colored as one of the primary uses found in the building.If you want to see what a particular building will look like, read the blog posts for that project.
The 3D model-making tools in Google Earth are fairly crude, so the purpose of our new 3D Future Skyline images is to convey a general sense of how Denver’s urban core is growing and densifying, not necessarily to show a specific building in three-dimensions.Similarly, building footprints typically have small setbacks here and there from the property line, as opposed to the simple rectangular footprint used in most of our models.Therefore, the three-dimensional space these buildings occupy in model form is going to be greater than they will in reality-an “objects will appear larger than they really are” situation. In most cases, buildings have step-backs and other architectural treatments that reduce the mass and scale of the building, particularly on the upper floors. Each 3D object represents a simple massing of the building that has been extruded to the planned height of the structure.We plan to issue a new collection of 3D Future Skyline images on a quarterly basis or perhaps more frequently, as needed.Ī few important caveats to note about the buildings modeled in 3D in these images: We will add a new “3D Future Skyline” link on the right sidebar below the Project Map box so that you’ll be able to quickly access the current and previous versions of our 3D Future Skyline images. The buildings have been color coded to match our DenverInfill Project Map, where yellow is residential, orange is office, red is hotel, and blue is civic/other. Thanks to Google Earth and the new way they’re rendering buildings in three dimensions, and thanks in particular to the newest member of the DenverInfill team, Ryan Keeney-starting today we will periodically feature a collection of views of the Downtown Denver and Cherry Creek skylines with the massing of buildings, proposed or under construction, added in. We are excited to launch a new feature here at DenverInfill: Denver’s future skyline in 3D!
