Weins Development Group eyes hotel, apartment expansion at Denver's Steam on the Platte

Weins Development Group’s vision for Steam on the Platte centers on constructing a series of thoughtfully designed structures that sit right along the river, intentionally oriented to embrace views, access, and activity along the South Platte. The plan brings restaurants, gathering spaces, and complementary uses directly to the water’s edge, transforming the riverfront into a vibrant, walkable environment where people can eat, meet, and spend time outdoors.

By activating the river with dining, pedestrian-friendly design, and public-facing uses, Steam on the Platte aims to become a natural extension of the South Platte trail system—welcoming cyclists, runners, and neighborhood residents alike. The project is designed to enhance the character of the river corridor while contributing to long-term economic vitality and placemaking.

Steam on the Platte reflects Weins Development Group’s commitment to creating places that connect people to their surroundings. By bringing energy, restaurants, and community-focused spaces to the South Platte River, the development will help turn this stretch of river into a true destination—one that celebrates Denver’s relationship with the outdoors while adding lasting value to the city.
