Downtown Denver condo and loft residents are looking forward to one of the biggest urban development projects in the country... the new Union Station.

Just released activation plans discuss all the planning and design elements for this new downtown Denver centerpiece.

With more than 10 acres of public plazas and more than 4 Million (yes... million) square feet of mixed use development the new Union Station isn't just a new Downtown Denver projects, it's a new Downtown Denver neighborhood.

What's in the works... well let's take a peek..

  • First lets talk about transportation.   This project will revive the Union Station of Denver to it's heyday as a transportation hub for the completed new Downtown Denver light rail station.  The track we are most excited about is the new line from Downtown Denver to Denver International Airport.  This past week's Denver Post Article "DIA, developers could face bill of $72 million to add two rail stations" talks about the decisions being made as to how many rail stations will be at DIA. The good news is that all the options are greater than zero.  That means residents of Downtown Denver condos, Riverfront park condos, or LoHi condos can simply walk and hop on a train all the way out to the airport for their travel plans.  Others can simply jump on their local light rail station and connect through at Union Station.  While you connect maybe you will want to do some shopping because...
  • With all that planned Mixed Use space and the incredible amount of foot and transit passengers this area is intended to be a hub of restaurants, shopping, a hotel... even a grocery store has been discussed.  No one is sharing exactly which stores, restaurants, hotels, or grocery brands are likely but the names being tossed around have included the best of the best.  Location, Location, and Location is the mantra for many of these business owners and the new Union Station is a hot location for sure.
  • Residential... you know we love Downtown Denver condo and loft living and this neighborhood the words Mixed Use mean condos.   Just like Riverfront Park and Downtown the mixed use plans allow for great condo locations above your favorite Downtown Denver hot spots.  The good news... its in the plan.  The bad news is that it is many many years out.  Some of our clients are finding their favorite Downtown Denver condo to buy today and then looking at that as a step towards something bigger in this new neighborhood when the opportunity arrives.
