Last call has come and gone, and a groundbreaking is on the way.
Downtown bar Shelby’s Bar & Grill’s last day of business at 519 18th St. was this past Saturday, and Canadian developer Amacon — which purchased the bar’s building and an adjacent parking lot last year for $8.8 million — is gearing up for its planned condo project.
Mark Sheldon, who joined Amacon this year to oversee Denver operations, told BusinessDen last week that the company expects to demolish the bar’s building in the near future, and continue development design efforts through the fall.
