Wow, we just might be blogging about the Highlands / LoHi area all this month with so much happening.
First you might have driven by and seen the lights on at the Ale House at Amatos' on the corner of 16th and Central. If you were biking or walking by you might have even heard the click of beer pints being toasted together and heard the warm sounds of people having fun. Well those folks were enjoying the friends and family opening for the Ale House and tomorrow the Ale House at Amato's is open to the public.
What we didn't mention was that another great new restaurant is gearing up to open it's doors just a block from the same spot as the Ale House. If you haven't heard, the Olinger building (you know that great big sign everyone can see in LoHi from their Downtown Denver condos or Downtown Denver lofts) is home to a new restaurant callled "Linger". They only have to remove the "O" from the Olinger sign and their brightly lit marquee is complete. chef / Restaurateur Justin Cucci's new joint will be opening in April of 2011.
Need we remind you that could mean just a few weeks or perhaps just a few days from now. If the name Justin Cucci rings a bell it's because you know another fabulous restaurant with his name on it called Root Down.
From a Downtown Denver condo, Downtown Denver loft, and Downtown Denver home market perspective these and other restaurant openings in the LoHi area are part of the reason that the Highlands / LoHi / Riverfront Park market has been consistently a client favorite. Residents in these downtown Denver markets enjoy pedestrian and bike friendly convenience to some of Denver's best dining and entertainment. And of course Riverfront and LoHi have only pedestrian bridges, biking and jogging trails, and the green space of Commons Park separating them.
We love LoHi but it's worth pointing out that our clients in Riverfront Park (and the Glass House) have only a short and beautiful green space walk to the LoHi area where these new restaurants are going to be opening (along with LoLa, Vita, Little Man Ice Cream, LoHi Steak Bar and more).
Why are all these Denver restaurant chefs/owners/creators picking LoHi for their location? Because it is an incredible neighborhood that keeps getting better every day. Contact any of us at New Era Realty and schedule a tour today... and perhaps a dinner reservation after.
