So “WHO” exactly is the typical Four Seasons Denver resident? Recently John and I took a behind-the-scenes look at one of Denver’s hottest new loft and condo projects after posting several articles about the building during its construction phase. We wondered how has this over-the-top building (the Four Seasons chain of residences and hotels redefine the meaning of elegant) has been so successful with little to no marketing in the Denver area (well, except for the occasional article in the Denver Post and Denver Business Journal)! With sales prices at $1000 per square foot, the Four Seasons Denver condos appeal to only the most discerning, highly qualified buyers. Those buyers are still aplenty, with over 50% of the available 102 residences sold to date. Looking for the cheapest loft or condo in the Denver Four Seasons? That would be 964 square feet of living space including one bedroom, one bathroom and parking for a cool price tag of $895,000. If you want a two bedroom, 1800 square foot loft or condo with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 parking spaces, you will need to shell out $1.7 million George Washington’s. To some downtown Denver loft and condo dwellers this may seem like a high price tag, but we disagree!
So let’s play out a day in the life of “Bob” the new homeowner at Four Seasons Denver... Bob just happens to be a Denver native (75% of Four Seasons Denver loft and condo residents are from the Denver area). With his kids recently leaving the nest, he no longer needed his 6000 square foot home in Castle Pines Village (that’s a lot of upkeep!). He also finds himself spending more time in downtown Denver because of its social and particularly affluent culture. With the Denver Theater District and countless other nearby attractions, he felt that Four Seasons Denver had one of the most attractive locations in central Denver. Of course Bob may be an empty nester now, but let’s say he also happens to be a corporate attorney for one of the largest companies in the U.S. Bob’s calendar looks like a war zone and he travels 25 weeks out of the year. So here is where Bob sees every penny of value in the Four Seasons lofts and condos:
Bob rises out of bed at 5 AM sharp on Monday morning (after finally taking a well-deserved Sunday off). Bob flips on the TV to MSNBC (all cable and telecom providers are represented at Denver Four Seasons, unlike most buildings in the area) and hops in the shower. This isn’t just ANY shower though and it isn’t located in an average bathroom either! Bob was able to choose from several “themes” for his Denver loft including Traditional, Avant Garde and Modern Classic designs that include everything from French vanilla and rich cherry tones, to tumbled marble and glass mosaics. Modern classic suits Bob well. As Bob turns off the shower, the door bell rings and a gourmet breakfast and the local newspaper are whisked in the door (Bob remembered to order room service the night before). Being a typical spectacular day in beautiful Denver, Colorado, Bob decides to eat breakfast on his 600 square foot balcony (that’s larger than a 2 car garage). The unobstructed, sweeping views of the Rocky Mountains and downtown Denver remind Bob of one of many reasons why he calls his Four Seasons Denver loft his new home. After Bob enjoys his last fresh strawberry, Bob heads down to the world-class fitness center at 6 AM and meets with one of several onsite personal trainers for his morning workout. The fitness center is open exclusively to Four Seasons Denver loft and condo residents only, so Bob never has a problem getting his jog in on the treadmill. Since Bob is a little bit sore from his workout, he decides to head to the Spa for a quick massage and soak in the hot tub (he saves taking a few laps in the year-round outdoor heated pool for another day). At 7:30 AM Bob arrives back at his Four Seasons condo and not only has his bed been made, but his dry cleaning is neatly draped on it. A quick check of email and Bob is out the door by 8 AM. Of course Bob has to catch a flight to Aspen in about an hour (his company knows the right places to hold their meetings!) and he is running late. Fortunately Bob rang the valet already and his Ferrari Spyder is waiting at the front door of Four Seasons Denver as he steps out of the elevator. Did I mention Bob has good tastes? Bob flies to Aspen, oversees the negotiations for the release of the new drug that cures hair loss in men (this is the real deal!), and returns to Denver at 8 PM. Unfortunately Bob is just too worn out to keep his reservation at the steakhouse in the Four Seasons Denver; it’s been a long day! However, knowing Bob’s constantly hectic schedule, the concierge (with an average of over 20 years experience working for the Four Seasons) has already made arrangements with the resident chef to prepare dinner for Bob when he returns to his condo. Chef prepares one of the most amazing meals Bob has ever eaten. Bob never knew the power of the commercial-grade appliances in his Four Seasons Denver condo! Bob enjoys every bite of this well-deserved meal as he watches the sun set over the Rockies. 10 PM arrives much too quickly, again. Bob barely has the energy to throw on his freshly laundered pajamas and crawl into his turned-down bed …with 1 Godiva chocolate neatly placed on his pillow. Many of us can only dream of something that is Bob’s reality…
