SPIRE loft and condo buyers have something to be excited about!  As the saying goes in real estate, it’s all about location, location, location!  Denver’s loft and condo experts all agree that SPIRE already has one of the best locations in Downtown Denver.  And it’s about to get BETTER!

As reported in the Denver Post and Denver Business Journal, the $14 million 14th Street improvement project is now underway and scheduled to be completed in the Fall of 2011!  But what does this really mean to SPIRE’s loft and condo residents?  At first glance, this new “pedestrian-friendly” zone will be similar to the 16th Street mall in Downtown Denver.  The difference being that 14th Street contains some of Denver’s biggest attractions including:

1)    Well, of course, the SPIRE – we are signing reservations with clients on almost a daily basis right now and prices are going up!  Contact us and we will find you a loft or condo that fits within your budget.

2)    The gateway to trendy Larimer Square – some of the best restaurants and shopping in Downtown Denver for loft and condo owners, only steps from the SPIRE.

3)    Four Seasons Denver – arguably the nicest hotel in Denver and future home for many Downtown loft and condo owners.  Contact us to find out more about this project as well.

4)    Denver Center for Performing Arts – hands-down, the best place for a date night in Denver with all of the major Broadway productions making stops throughout the year!

5)    Denver Convention Center – if it’s big, it’s here!  We’re headed to the Denver Auto Show today to check out the latest and greatest real estate vehicles!

6)    Denver Athletic Club – catch a game of squash in Denver’s premier athletic and social club.  Although you probably won’t need a membership here if you own a loft or condo at SPIRE – their fitness center rivals DAC’s!

7)    Hyatt Regency Denver – as if the views from SPIRE aren’t enough, grab a cocktail with friends at the Altitude bar high above the city with sweeping mountain views!

8)    Denver’s Light Rail – leaving the car behind?  With current and future Light Rail access, Denver loft and condo residents will be able to travel virtually anywhere in the city without their cars.  Light rail stops right in front of SPIRE.

9)    There are also several other new developments underway in the area including the new Embassy Suites Hotel and a Hilton Garden Inn.

Improvements to the street itself include widening sidewalks to accommodate easier flow of foot traffic and space for outdoor restaurant patios including Table Six which will be at street level in SPIRE.  A bike lane will be added so SPIRE Denver residents can hop on their bikes from the front door and safely travel to work or nearby bike trails.  200 trees, flower planters, additional parking capacity and more will make 14th Street similar to the Miracle Mile in Chicago (well maybe we aren’t quite there yet and we know it isn’t quite a mile, but we are certainly headed in the right direction!).

With so many attractions in the immediate area, SPIRE is now arguably the hottest condo and loft development in Downtown Denver.  We are offering daily tours to prospective buyers and can provide current and ACCURATE pricing based on the requirements for your loft and condo.  Are you an existing or future owner at SPIRE?  We would love to hear if you are as excited about the project as we are, so please share your comments with us!
