Crews from Andersen Construction Co. are preparing to break ground today on a 41-story mixed-use tower called Kinects that Security Properties is developing in the Denny Triangle.
Bumgardner is the architect. The tower is at 1823 Minor Ave., and will have 356 apartments, 4,800 square feet of retail and 315 parking spaces.
Kinects is expected to open in early 2017.
The top two floors will be penthouse units, and the top floor will have a swimming pool and outdoor spaces.
In 2008, Security Properties said it planned to break ground on the tower by mid-2009, but by then the recession was in full swing. Kinects remained on the shelf until last year, when Security Properties filed applications with the city to prepare for construction.
The block is bounded by Stewart, Howell, Boren and Minor, and it will see a lot of change in the next few years. Security Properties' project is next to the site at 1121 Stewart St. where RBF Property Group and GIS International Group are planning a 42-story condo and hotel tower.
On the other half of the block, Touchstone Corp. is planning Tilt 49: an 11-story office building and 36-story residential tower.
