Looks like a variance between the rendering and the article. Article is probably wrong as the purported cost of $18M is fairly low and six stories is right in the range of what you can get away with a stick frame and can avoid some crane costs. Still a nice little win for Pueblo and this building will go a ways towards tying the the convention center with the Riverwalk.

That is not a rendering but just a example. No one knows what it will look like yet. In the presentation and in the article they said it would be a 9 story Hilton.

This is from the Denver Post on how hot the housing market is in Pueblo. With everything going on it looks to be Pueblo's turn to grow.

This is from the Denver Post:


Colorado’s hottest real estate market this year isn’t Denver or Colorado Springs or Fort Collins. It is Pueblo, which reflects a larger national trend that has buyers scrounging through the bargain bin to find homes they can afford.

Pueblo ranked as the 10th hottest housing market nationally, up from 37th last year, with a 13 percent gain in people viewing real estate listings and a 5 percent jump in listing prices year-over-year.

Kelman even has a name for it — “The Wrath of Grapes,” a flip on “The Grapes of Wrath” novel of a family leaving Oklahoma for California during the Great Depression. He said he doesn’t know of a Silicon Valley company that isn’t looking to set up shop in the center of the country somewhere.

So as I have been posting Rocky Mountain Steel in Pueblo is considering a $500 million expansion. That would give a huge boost to the Pueblo economy. Today the Pueblo Chieftain is reporting that in an internal e-mail to EVRAZ employees obtained by The Pueblo Chieftain, CEO Conrad Winkler is resigning, and he let slip that Pueblo's rail mill will become "the first solar-powered steel mill in the world." So it looks like it will happen and that is what I have been hearing. This is Pueblo''s year and time.

This is a great example of why Pueblo is a top housing market in the state/ nation. In fact I could not afford my same house and location if it was in the Springs. This is just one reason that I think its finally Pueblo's turn to grow.

This is from the Gazette:


Pueblo bound: Homebuyers priced out of Colorado Springs look south for lower cost housing

In case you can not read the article this link has it in full:


Colorado Springs-area homebuyers still can find an affordable house in today’s red-hot, record-setting real estate market.

They just have to move to Pueblo.

For community boosters, the influx of Colorado Springs homebuyers moving to Pueblo shows the city is overcoming its blue-collar image after decades as a steel-producing city.

Today, the city has all the water it needs to serve residents and businesses, two well-regarded hospitals, the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk attraction and the Airport Industrial Park, among other pluses, Anderson said.

And more people moving to Pueblo means a financial shot in the arm for the area. Employees and military contractors who commute to their jobs in the Springs, but return home to spend their paychecks in Pueblo, are pumping money into the local economy, said Rod Slyhoff, president and CEO of the Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce.

Pueblo now the buyers

It appears the battle for the best pepper is over and Pueblo won!

This is from the Durango Herald:


Pueblo has won the battle, if not the war, over Hatch

I do believe the Pueblo Mira Sol would win many head to head taste tests but head down to every grocery store in Colorado, go to the frozen vegetables section, and grab you up some frozen green chiles.

10 times out of 10, you got Hatch Green chiles from New Mexico.

The Hatch Green Chile company has this minor little detail called marketing.

Hatch pepper has been around longer then the Pueblo pepper. Give it time especially if its better.

Hemp is really causing the economy to grow in Pueblo and is nearing the point I would call the economy "exploding" as we are the 2nd hottest housing market in the nation for cities of our size. Yesterday we got more good news as a new hemp processing plant will employ 250 people and that will mean 750 secondary jobs. A huge boost to the southern metro area and why I call Pueblo the marijuana valley.

Nation's Largest Hemp Processing Plant Opens in Colorado

Colorado City, a town of fewer than 2,500 in southern Colorado, will soon be home to up to 50 million pounds of hemp, now that a massive hemp-processing facility is open for business.

"250 jobs coming to Colorado City in Pueblo County at our nation’s largest hemp processing facility, helping cement Colorado’s leading role in the growing hemp economy."

Wouldn't be the first time tiny tiny Colorado City Colorado (the one in Pueblo County and next to Rye and north of Walsenburg, not the one by Manitou Springs) provided folks from Pueblo and Walsenburg with hundreds and hundreds of jobs.

Remember Columbia House in that one-million square foot bldg on Graneros Road, aka I-25-exit 71?
