DP has been submitted by Manu Chugh Architect for a new building on 17th SW, where the Dennys is currently. Developer is Strategic. Overall I quite like it but my one big gripe is they should have done a 2 storey podium IMO.

The faded yellow and orange remind me of the old lawnchairs from the 70s my parents had while I was growing up. Average form factor, terrible appearance. I agree that a 2 story podium would work better in this location. Maybe even no podium setback since it's on the north side of the street? 17th deserves better.... even if I do really appreciate that it is bringing a much needed population and vibrancy boost to the east end.
 
I always thought the Denny's was kind of funky for a Denny's, but this will be a good addition, especially if they decide to do a color change before building it. White with one other accent color and it would actually look pretty good IMO.

This one is actually pretty far west - 10 St.
 
Ooops. Was thinking west, typed east. Used to hit up the BPs in that spot before it became a Dennys as it was one of the only places in the Beltline where they would show sports with the sound on. Both east and west ends could actually use the boost in population and vibrancy. 17th is strong between 4th St and 8th St and dies out pretty quickly outside of the core blocks.
