DENVER — Kairoi Residential has begun demolition of the former Ramada by Wyndham Denver Downtown hotel, located at 1150 E. Colfax Ave, making way for a new multifamily project.
Demolition crews were spotted early this week on the eastern side of the property where Marion Street intersects with Colfax. The roughly 2-acre property is at the southeast corner of East Colfax Avenue and North Downing Street. The hotel was built in 1962.
