Drive 2 Construction Time-lapse Video: February Update

Drive 2 at TAXI is moving right along! Watch six months of construction zip by in under two and a half minutes.
ContinueConstruction of Drive 2, the cutting-edge office building being erected a mere stone's throw away from its predecessor, Drive, began in October 2013 and is slated to finish in June 2014. This time-lapse video shows the project's progress between the October groundbreaking and today, February 20, 2014. Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture is the architect of record in partnership with design architect (and our good TAXI neighbor), Dynia Architects. We will continue to bring you more Drive 2 news in the coming months as the project nears completion. If the grand opening is half what the groundbreaking ceremony was, you won't want to miss it!

Drive 2 Groundbreaking / Car Crushing Extravaganza

Thursday, October 10, 2013 saw the highly anticipated groundbreaking of our latest mixed-use office project, Drive 2.
ContinueDesigned as a counterpart to its predecessor, Drive 2 hopes to achieve the same public acclaim and success as Drive 1, which has earned four prestigious design awards to date and counting. As per the usual groundbreaking of a Zeppelin project, there was free food by Fuel Café, free beer and cocktails flowing from Proper Pour and CapRock Farm Bar (both tenants at The Source), a live DJ and festive atmosphere. Only this time there was a new element: a proper car smashing… because what groundbreaking event would be complete without demolishing an automobile with a tractor backhoe?
You might be thinking, “What does crushing a vehicle have to do with the kickoff of a new office building project?” Aside from the fact that the spectacle gave new meaning to the term groundbreaking—the car was lifted 10 feet overhead at one point and released to come crashing down on the raw earth of the construction site—there was some symbolism at play. On the side of the matte black car were spray-painted the words, “BIKE to WORK.” The demonstration was part of the effort to revitalize Denver’s River North (RiNo) District with bike- and pedestrian-friendly amenities and to encourage community members to trade in their four-wheel rides for two.
(That, and to draw a crowd, of course.)
Check out our close-up footage from that day...
And go here to see the Zeppelins' operatic short film, "Bike to Work: TAXI by Zeppelin."
