US-based FirstBank has granted nearly $100m of loans to two different developments in the Cherry Creek North district.
Real estate development company Western Development Group has been allocated $50m to develop the new 250 Columbine on the east side of Columbine Street, between East Second and East Third Avenues.

With two buildings separated by a mid-block drive aisle, the project will feature a mix of residences and office and retail space, two restaurants and an upscale ‘dock-to-table’ seafood restaurant.
Western Development Group partner Roy Kline said: "250 Columbine is another example of Cherry Creek North raising the bar to maintain its position as the most sought-after shopping district in the Denver area.
"We had a wonderful experience partnering with FirstBank on a previous project, and appreciate working with a local bank that understands the community and shares our vision."
