The Downtown Denver lifestyle is wonderful.  Our clients living downtown or relocating talk about all the great reasons they love where they live.  They may talk about the pedestrian friendly or transit friendly alternatives to driving.  Some claim the wonderful activities, sporting events, and theater shows are their favorite.

If you ask us the most common Downtown Denver lifestyle component that gets rave reviews we have an easy answer.

It’s the food.  From fine dining to the corner coffee shop part of the Downtown Denver lifestyle is the great gastronomic and culinary amenities located in every neighborhood.

Today’s post is to share with you a few new additions and three more reasons to love living in Downtown Denver.

• Riverfront Park just got the new NYC Central Park Café.  Located on Denver’s version of Central Park this deli serves all the folks enjoying their time in the great green space of Commons Park or traveling between LoHi and Downtown Denver.  Riverfront Park is an amazing neighborhood that is home to the Glass House, ONE Riverfront and more.
• The Downtown Denver neighborhood, specifically the Theater District where SPIRE and the Four Seasons offer the best in high rise condo living has a new dining amenity to boast of.  The new LeGrand Bistro and Oyster Bar opened with a traditional French menu serving not only delicious food but also an incredible wine list.
• The Golden Triangle just boasted a new addition that has been getting RAVE REVIEWS!  Charcoal, located around the corner from the Acoma is dishing up contemporary European cuisine with classic and innovative techniques.  Their belief is wine should be consumed with every meal but it shouldn’t break the bank. At Charcoal Restaurant, you can have a flight, half pour, full pour or bottle at affordable prices. They choose their wine, not just on taste, but also on what offers great customer value.

Every great restaurant that opens is just one more reason to enjoy the Downtown Denver lifestyle and buying a Denver condo, loft or home has never been more attractive.  Learn more about the great opportunities in these incredible neighborhoods by contacting any of our great team members at New Era Realty.

The Downtown Denver real estate market has been going through a change over the past few months as inventory has gotten tighter, especially in the much sought after Downtown Denverneighborhoods.  Great prices, great location, and great interest rates have combined to create the ideal market in many ways for buyers.

However as is true in every market, supply and demand create a situation where those amazing deals are often put under contract almost immediately.  Short sales and bank owned properties have created an even more incredible selection of great Denver condosmoving quickly in this market.

While our focus is to be the first to alert our clients when their dream condo opportunity hits the market sometimes even that isn’t enough.  Multiple offers on low priced properties are common, and sometimes someone else has the winning offer.

But fortunately that doesn’t have to be the end of the story.  Back up offers are still a tactic to consider if you have your eye on a Downtown Denver condo that is under contract but not yet closed.

This can be especially helpful in neighborhoods in Downtown Denver where hot properties go quickly.  Areas like LoHi, Wash Park, and Riverfront Park are often favorites where Denver condos or homes priced to sell might be put under contract quickly with multiple bids.

But if the winning bid doesn’t go to closing which can happen due to financing issues or contingency items having a back up offer in place can secure you get the first option to proceed.

Back up offers can include language allowing the back up submitter to withdraw their back up at any time prior to acceptance thus allowing the prospective buyer to continue looking for another Denver condo or loft for sale.  If another home is found that is even better that back up offer can be withdrawn.

Back up offers are something to be evaluated on a case by case basis.  All of us at New Era Realty focus on finding our Denver loft or condo of their dreams and sometimes this tool is something to consider.

In the Downtown Denver condo and loft marketplace, the mantra of location, location, location is more than just about real estate- it’s also about food.  Dining and enjoying all of Denver’s great restaurants is just one part of the Denver condo lifestyle, but it is one of the most enjoyable.

New restaurants in LoHi such as Linger and the Ale House at Amatos have helped to make it a favorite location for many of our clients.  Riverfront Park believed in it so much the Zengo Restaurants was a cornerstone in the design of the first three buildings on the plaza.

For the SPIRE lofts, the ground floor tenants were carefully selected to include Row 14 while the new Denver residences at the Four Seasons enjoy their great restaurant and bar.

We mention these great dining spots because our clients share their own stories with us of their culinary adventures.   One of the great benefits to the Denver condo lifestyle is walking out your front door to enjoy some of the best dining experiences in the country.

The newest Downtown Dining experience is Legrand Bistro and Oyster Bar in the theater district on Curtis Street between 15^th and 16^th.  Residents at the SPIRE lofts and the new Denver Four Seasons can both claim this exciting addition to their neighborhood.  With a menu of true French dining and a wonderful wine and specialty cocktail menu it is just one more great option to enjoy in Downtown Denver.

The Denver theater district is thriving and with our weather turning to snow and the holidays just around the corner a new season of Downtown Denver lifestyle begins.  It is the season where our clients share stories of sharing drinks with friends watching the snow fall on the city streets.  It’s a wonderful time to enjoy a theater show or a movie at the Denver Pavillions after a delicious restaurant experience.

And it could all be in your neighborhood.

The Downtown Denver condo and loft market loves SPIRE since it began doing presales years ago.  Located in the heart of the Downtown Denver Theater district and ideally situated across the street from the light rail station and just blocks from the 16^th Street mall, The SPIRE lofts are minutes and footsteps away from Denver’s great restaurants, activities, and more.

In fact, with incredible amenities like two pools, two spas, fitness center, outdoor fire pit, theater room, and more SPIRE offers the new level of luxury living in Downtown.

In fact one of the only complaints about SPIRE is that not enough units in every price point are available.

But that is changing as some of the existing homeowners put their residences on the market to compete with the existing developer inventory.

When a new building becomes available the developer usually offers a wide range of prices from the smallest one bedroom through the luxury penthouses.  And usually, as was the case with SPIRE and the original sales of the Glass House, floor plans increase in price for every higher floor level.  When you see the views you understand why.

At the beginning of a building’s sales process that means there is something for everyone.  But as the inventory is sold the choices become more limited… until the market begins to offer resales to compete with the developer inventory.

For our Denver condo buyers, this means a great opportunity for more choices at SPIRE, and today one of our agents began showings of just such a SPIRE resale with a line of people waiting to take a look.

Interested in learning more?  Please contact any of our SPIRE experts about the current inventory or ask us to keep you posted on these new resales opportunities.

SPIRE is a 42 story residential glass tower located in the heart of Downtown Denver.   Learn why this building is a Denver favorite and how New Era Realty can help you find your new Downtown Denver condo residence.

While most of our readership includes our local Denver condo and Downtown Denver clients, you should also know that New Era Realty is a Moving to Denver Relocation specialist.  Our team has helped people from all over the world move to Denver and make it their home.  As you might imagine, many move here for our Rocky Mountain Backyard.

So today we wanted to announce to the beginning of the Colorado 2011 / 2012 Ski Season with the opening of Arapahoe Basin Ski Resort.  That’s right Downtown Denver condo homeowners, your mountain recreation lifestyle amenity is now open.

The Denver loft lifestyle calls people across the nation (and the world) for a number of reasons.  Denver offers over 300 days of sunshine and incredible year round weather.  Of course that might be our best kept secret as many out of towners we speak with think our state is under a perpetual blanket of snow… and we all know that nothing could be further from the truth.

The Downtown Denver lifestyle also offers the pedestrian and bike friendly urban planning of such great neighborhoods as Riverfront Park, LoHI, and Lodo.  The city offers all of our sporting arenas within walking distance of downtown with the Denver Broncos , Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Rockies locations nearby.  Those of you from other cities know how unique this urban planning feature is and what a wonderful Downtown Denver lifestyle amenity it offers.

Of course… one of the big reasons people relocate to Denver is our Rocky Mountain backyard and the world class Ski Resorts of Colorado.  Many learn about Colorado on their first ski trip to enjoy Vail, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Aspen, Steamboat, Copper Mountain, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin (and on and on and on) or more.

Many who relocate to Denver know the phrase “Move for the Winters, Stay for the Summers” as these great mountain locations turn to mecca’s for biking, hiking, fly fishing and more.  The Downtown Denver real estate simply offers recreation within an hour or two drive that is unmatched anywhere else.

And today the next season of our great active Downtown Denver lifestyle begins.  Cheers everyone and here’s to a great winter ski season.
