Denver-based Thrive Development Co. plans to transform an industrial site in Denver’s Lincoln Park neighborhood into Lincoln Station, a community-oriented destination combining a food hall, bar, coworking space and outdoor gathering areas.
Located at 1701 W. 13th Ave., near downtown Denver and the planned Burnham Yards redevelopment — the preferred site for a new Denver Broncos stadium — Lincoln Station is designed to bring new dining and workspace options to a neighborhood the developer describes as underserved by food and gathering places.
The project will feature two primary components: a 14,700-square-foot food hall and The Engine, a coworking hub offering 14,900 square feet across two floors, according to Thrive.
The food hall will include three food vendors and a sushi counter, along with a central bar featuring a 36-tap self-service pour wall for local beer, cocktails and nonalcoholic beverages. Additional amenities include a reservable lounge, a stage for live music and other programming, and indoor and outdoor dining areas.
A converted loading dock will serve as a dining patio and game yard, while the outdoor spaces will include a beer garden, fire pits, turf games and additional patio seating. Plans also call for a seasonal barbecue shack.
The Engine — located at 1350 Shoshone St., the other building on the property — will feature 50 enclosed private offices, shared and drop-in work areas, meeting rooms, an artist studio, a wellness room and a social café. A two-story atrium will anchor the coworking space, which connects directly to the food hall and courtyard.
Together, the two buildings are intended to create a flexible destination for working, dining and community events throughout the day and evening.
Lincoln Station sits along the corridor connecting downtown Denver to the Santa Fe Arts District, with access to Interstate 25, light rail and major bicycle routes. The site’s proximity to the 58-acre Burnham Yards redevelopment also positions it near a major planned transformation of central Denver, with future housing, office, retail and public spaces.
Thrive Development said the project is intended to honor the historic site’s architecture while introducing new neighborhood amenities and spaces for businesses, nonprofits, residents and visitors to connect.
