Wrecking ball meets Denver hotel
Alpine Demolition began today to bring down a Denver landmark at Interstate 25 and East Hampden Avenue.
The hotel, built as a Marriott in 1974 and transformed into the Four Points by Sheraton Denver Southeast five years ago, is meeting the wrecking ball. When the lease expired in 2008, Four Points owner Starwood Hotels & Resorts opted not to re-up. The property reverted to the hands of the landlord — the Gaiser family, a storied clan of developers with real estate holdings throughout the metro area.
The hotel encompasses 12 acres with over 615 rooms and was once among the eight largest hotels in Denver. Alpine Demolition was contracted for the full demolition scope — structural takedown, deconstruction, and material recovery — at the prominent Interstate 25 site.
The project represented one of Alpine's most high-profile urban demolition scopes and was completed with the company's standard focus on safety and site management throughout the process.
