1651 N Logan St

1651 N Logan St and the 1,000 ft of Greater Downtown Denver around it. The streets are drawn at the width of the right-of-way they run down, sidewalks included, and named, and every building on these blocks is drawn. What is left open and stippled is neither: a surface lot, a plaza or a vacant parcel. The screened buildings are colored by the ramp above, the same one the district map uses, carry their score, and each is a link to its own page. Each casts a shadow as long as its measured height lets it, so towers stand out from the low buildings around them; the unscreened buildings have no measured height and cast none. 1651 N Logan St is outlined in its own score color at the outline it covers at ground level. Dashed inside it is the typical floor, the one the floor-plate figure below draws, because this building steps back as it rises. The inset places it among every building the screen covers.

Typical floor plan: 100% of the building’s floor area sits within daylight reach of a facade; the drawing shows its typical floor, where the share is 100%, with no dead core at all. The shading is daylight, darkest at the windows and gone 35 ft in. The dimension marks the deepest interior point, 34 ft from the nearest window. A–A is where the section beside it is cut.

Section A–A: cut across the depth of the plate, through the middle of the core. Daylight reaches 35 ft in from every facade, and here it meets in the middle: the plate is thin enough that no floor is left windowless. The steps are where the building sets back as it rises. The shaded ground floor is converted like the rest and counted as no homes.

This building does not pencil at default assumptions, even with a modeled RESIDE Act grant.

This footprint has no windowless core at all: every point on the floor plate is within 35 ft of a facade, which is unusual and is the main reason it scores as well as it does.

The plan: window line, shape and floor rhythm

38 ft of exterior wall for each home the screen estimates — enough for two- and three-bedroom homes across the plan.

The typical floor has 686 ft of exterior wall, and across 8 residential floors the building carries 4,971 ft of it in total, divided among the 130 homes this screen estimates.

Its plate is moderately compact at 0.46: a squarish plan, with enough perimeter for a conventional double-loaded corridor. How window line and plate shape are measured.

At the model’s 750 sq ft average, the plan works out at about 16.3 homes per floor, repeated on every residential floor, since this building's outline does not change as it rises.

Why 1651 N Logan St scores 95 out of 100

Daylight efficiency 100, Interior depth 100, Scale 87, Finance 79 — each out of 100, then weighted.

Score components for 1651 N Logan St. Points are the subscore times its weight.

Component	Subscore	Weight	Points

Financeremaining gap is 12% of conversion cost, scored from 60% down to 0%	79	15%	11.9

Most of what it earns comes from daylight efficiency, and what holds it back most is finance, at 79 out of 100: remaining gap is 12% of conversion cost, scored from 60% down to 0%.

What the conversion would cost

$360 per square foot all-in across 122,008 sq ft of converted floor, or $43.9M in total — about $338K for each of the 130 homes.

All-in cost per square foot for 1651 N Logan St: base cost plus the code work a change of use triggers.

Base conversion cost	$260/sq ft
Plumbing risers to every unit	$40/sq ft
Operable windows and glazing	$30/sq ft
Additional egress stair	$18/sq ft
Fire sprinklers (NFPA 13R)	$12/sq ft
All-in	$360/sq ft

That cost is charged across every converted square foot, including the circulation and service area that earns nothing directly. Against it the model sets a completed value of $236K a home, which for 130 homes is $30.7M.

What would have to be true

A $13.2M gap before any grant, $5.4M after the modeled one. The smallest single change that would close it: average unit size 13% down.

The shortfall before any grant is $13.2M. Closing it from the value side means each of the 130 homes finishing at $338K rather than the $236K the model assumes — 43% more. Closing it from the cost side means getting all-in cost down from $360 to $251 per square foot.

A modeled RESIDE grant of $7.8M moves that threshold to $278K a home. That is still above the $236K assumed, leaving $5.4M uncovered, which is why the grant does not unlock this one.

Nor do all four levers have to move. For 1651 N Logan St, one alone would close the gap at:

Within North Capitol Hill and the PUD zone

4th of 41 in North Capitol Hill, 2nd of 21 zoned PUD — the comparison that shares its rules, rents and streets.

Denver places 41 of the screened buildings in North Capitol Hill. 1651 N Logan St ranks 4th of them against a median score of 85. 32 score 70 or more, their median deepest interior point is 47 ft from a facade against this building’s 34 ft, and together they would hold an estimated 8,820 homes. The group’s top scorer is 1776 N Grant St, at 97.

21 of the screened buildings are zoned PUD. 1651 N Logan St ranks 2nd of them against a median score of 77. 12 score 70 or more, their median deepest interior point is 49 ft from a facade against this building’s 34 ft, and together they would hold an estimated 5,808 homes.

Its nearest match in size: 1115 N Acoma St

The screened building closest to 1651 N Logan St in converted floor area is 1115 N Acoma St: 119,272 sq ft over 8 stories, against 122,008 sq ft over 9 here.

1651 N Logan St scores 95 to its 90, and with the size held roughly equal most of that lead comes from finance: 79 out of 100 here, 67 there (remaining gap is 20% of conversion cost, scored from 60% down to 0%). On the money they sit in the same place: each falls short even with the modeled grant. The two stand about 3,500 ft apart.

Would it qualify for a RESIDE Act grant?

The model awards 1651 N Logan St $7.8M, on the assumption it qualifies. Whether it does, no published dataset can say.

That figure assumes the building meets the Act’s vacant-and-abandoned test, which turns on code-enforcement and receivership records no city publishes.

It does not sit in a 2018 designated Opportunity Zone, so it would not draw that Section 201 priority.
