It's December 2009 and we are just days away from not just a new year, but also a new decade.  It's times like these that we tend to look at the past and the future.

5280 Magazine is looking at the future as well in their December article titled "The Future of Denver".  In addition to looking at how the downtownis morphing into its own urban neighborhood including the expansion of pedestrian friendly boulevards and light rail.   The article also makes one statement we would like to quote for you....

Downtown is now home to 10,000 residents - a number that is expected to double by 2030-and more than 110,000 workers. "Residential downtown living is no longer an experiment, or bohemian chic." says Brad Buchanan, a principal and architect with the Buchanan Yonushewski Group.  "It's become a visible and exceptional lifestyle choice. -5280 Magazine December 2009 The Future of Denver

We agree that downtown living offers an exceptional lifestyle.  What the article doesn't share is that it has done so already for the past decade.  It simply gets better every year.

With the forecast to double the population by 2030, the planned Union Station Neighborhood development adjacent to Riverfront Park, the explosion in the Highlands and many other neighborhoods of great restaurants, and the downtown growth such as SPIRE and such urban projects as the 14th Street Initiative living in Denver offers exceptional opportunities.

It is a simple but wonderful growth cycle.  New residents are attracting new restaurants, shops and amenities.  Those new restaurants, shops and amenities enrich the neighborhood and in turn attract more new residents.  For Denver condo and loft owners it means more to do, to enjoy and to experience every year.

With the forecast of the population doubling between now and 2030 we can barely contain our excitement to watch and experience new additions as more dining and entertainment growth occurs.  The Mile High City is consistently awarded top rankings as one of the best places to live in the United States and we are just getting started.  New Era Realty is here to assist our clients in understanding the exciting neighborhoods and amenities within our wonderful city.  If you are interested in new development projects underway  or simply want to explore Denver condo and loft availability please contact us anytime.
