The Requests for Proposals (RFPs) are now open, with intent to submit bid(s) due June 12, 2026, and proposals due July 15, 2026. Full details, scope, and submission instructions can be found in the Requests for Proposals.
There are three RFP packages, each including multiple neighborhoods. Each package requires separate historic contexts for the neighborhoods included within that package, and vendors may bid on one or more packages depending on their capacity and interest.

Discover Denver is a citywide building survey focused on identifying the buildings that help tell Denver’s story. A partnership between Historic Denver and the City and County of Denver, Discover Denver is working to identify buildings that are historically, architecturally or culturally significant. Volunteers play a significant role in the project, helping to document buildings, research building histories, and collect stories from members of the community.
PROJECT PARTNERS
Historic Denver, Inc. works to protect and promote Denver’s historic places. Through technical assistance, grant funds and easement donations, Historic Denver invests in our community and neighborhoods, raising awareness of our architectural heritage and educating and empowering neighborhoods to affect positive change in our developing city.
The Landmark Preservation office, part of the Denver Community Planning and Development department, was established in 1967 with the city’s preservation ordinance. Landmark Preservation helps preserve, enhance, and encourage the use of buildings and areas of the city with historical, architectural and/or geographical significance. Denver’s landmarks and historic districts enhance the city’s unique identity, quality of life, and economic vitality.
This project is paid for in part by a History Colorado – State Historical Fund grant. The State Historical Fund assists in a wide variety of preservation projects throughout the state, including restoration and rehabilitation of historic buildings, architectural assessments, archaeological excavations, designation and interpretation of historic places, preservation planning studies, and education and training programs. Grant funds are distributed through a competitive process and all projects must demonstrate strong public benefit and community support.
