A Colorado judge said a 415-foot skyscraper in the center of Denver, a condominium set to open in 2026 with 461 luxury condos, is at risk of collapsing. The development is the largest in the city since The Spire in 2009, and it has already sold units to future residents.
The building’s developer allegedly maliciously removed pieces of concrete from its base during a legal spat between its Canadian general contractor, Amacon Construction, and subcontractor GCon. Denver District Judge Bruce Jones issued a restraining order last week on GCon, banning its employees from the construction site.
Though engineers have said that The Upton towers remain safe for the time being, Amacon wrote in its emergency restraining order request that it was concerned GCon could remove more building components. “GCon has put at risk the lives of all personnel on site at the project as well as the general public,” the general contractor wrote in the order viewed by Business Den.
