It's an exciting time for Downtown Denver condo living!

Years ago we were talking about the new Riverfront Park area and the creation of a new master planned community that built more than 1,400 residential units and 62,000 square feet of retail space in what was once an abandoned brownfield on the riverfront.

That's right folks, one of Denver's hottest neighborhoods used to be the site of abandoned train yards and dirt fields.

Today it's the site of some of the most desired downtown Denver condo addresses such as the Park Place Lofts, Riverfront Tower, The Promenade Lofts, ONE Riverfront, The Park at ONE Riverfront, The Brownstones, Creekside Lofts and Creekside Flats, Flour Mill Lofts, and the Denver favorite... the Glass House.

Many don't realize the difference a decade can make. But if you look at what was this riverfront area of the Central Platte Valley used to look like and compare it to today's Riverfront Park and Commons Park Green Space area you can see why the project was awarded the 2011 ULI Award for Excellence.

It's also one of the contributing factors to the great growth of LoHi and the surrounding areas.

Now sit back and get ready to preview the next dirt to beauty transformation.

All of us at New Era Realty have been enthusiastically watching the dirt movers and construction teams breaking ground on the new Union Station Neighborhood Development project that will connect LoDo and Riverfront Park in addition to creating a new transit center for Downtown Denver condo and Downtown Denver loft residents. This new Downtown Denver neighborhood is planned to offer an incredible new location for restaurants, shops, amenities and of course Downtown Denver condominium living.

With the hub of the light rail and an extension line out to DIA Denver Union Station will have the energy of people flowing through it's streets and pedestrian walkways. So the Designers and Architects have designed something super amazing and they have put the 3-D rendered movies online at their website for all of us to experience here.

It's an amazing project for Denver and just one more reason why Downtown Denver condo living in the surrounding neighborhoods (Riverfront Park, LoDo, LoHi, Highlands, Ball Park) just got even more exciting. Imaging being just footsteps from all these great new amenities, dining, and transportation opportunities. There was even a story in the Wall Street Journal about how Rail Stations Drive Demand.
