“Green business is good business:” Developer marks milestone on carbon-positive hotel

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:24:49 GMT

Developers of a project billed as the country’s first “carbon-positive” hotel placed the last beam on the building Wednesday and said the hotel in downtown Denver will be open for business around June 2024.The 13-story Populus hotel by Urban Villages will be highly visible not only because of its location — next to Civic Center park — but also because of its design. The triangular building’s exterior will evoke the bark of an aspen tree, with the inset windows mimicking the dark, eye-shaped marks left on an aspen’s bark when branches break off.The hotel’s name, Populus, comes from the scientific name for quaking aspen: Populus tremuloides. Studio Gang, which is based in Chicago and has projects around the world, is the hotel’s architect.The exterior “lids” of the windows will shade the interior and channel rainwater to keep the facade looking fresh, according to Studio Gang’s website.Another feature that Denver-based Urban Villag...

Avs flip second-round draft pick for Ross Colton in trade with Lightning; J.T. Compher unlikely to re-sign with Avs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 01:24:49 GMT

The Avalanche acquired the rights to restricted free agent Ross Colton from the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for the No. 37 pick in the 2023 draft, the team announced Wednesday morning.Colorado flipped the early second-round pick after receiving it via trade the previous day from Montreal. The Avalanche essentially traded Alex Newhook, also an RFA, to end up with Colton from Tampa and the No. 31 overall pick (a first-rounder) from Montreal.The Avs have added two centers this offseason while retaining their No. 27 overall pick and obtaining another first-rounder. With Ryan Johansen and Colton, they have retooled their depth in the middle of the ice behind Nathan MacKinnon.There’s a domino effect, however. J.T. Compher will go to the open market as an unrestricted free agent July 1 and is unlikely to reach a new contract agreement with the Avalanche, a source told The Post on Wednesday. Compher was Colorado’s second-line center last season and has played all 423 of his ...
