Futuristic Condos
by John Ludwig, Downtown Denver
In the movies I’m sure you’ve seen those scenes with people gaining access to secure areas by a fingerprint scan or perhaps a retinal scan? What if that was your primary way of gaining entry to your home? Cars are going keyless these days, so why not condos?
A new residential condo development named Beleza is just being announced that looks like something straight out of a Hollywood science fiction blockbuster! According to the building’s sales representative Lexie Armitage, the building is “wired for the future.” Buy a unit there and you will have your fingerprint scanned so that the “biometric entry system” will allow you access without the hassles of keys.

Ritz Carlton
by Larry Hotz, All Denver Real Estate
“Ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen”, that is the mantra of service expressed by the developer of the new Residences at the Ritz Carlton in downtown Denver. Yes, service is the centerpiece around which these all-new condominiums are being marketed by Kentwood City Properties.
“We can’t sell the new Bosch appliances or the highest grade Brazilian cherry floors because most of the best condominiums downtown already have those things. But, what we offer is a level of service and caring that no one can surpass”, Charles Biederman told me and our 40 brokers who recently toured the new project. Read more
Titanium Loft
by John Ludwig, Downtown Denver real estate
Every so often a property hits the market really leaves an impression! As part of my weekly tour of new listings in Downtown Denver, a co-worker of mine, Heather Faircloth, unveiled a new listing at the Titanium Lofts building SO stunning that I had to find a place for it in this blog!
For a mere $1,800,000 you can have your very own slice of downtown luxury at one of the best spots in LoDo: nearly 3000 square feet, 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2 parking spaces, a balcony, and a lifestyle of your dreams! Read more
Pavillions Shopping
by John Ludwig, Downtown Expert
As reported recently, the Pavilions Shopping Center in Downtown Denver along the 16th Street Mall sold to Gart Properties recently for a cool $94.5 million. The Pavilions is perhaps best recognized for its large-font display of the word “Denver” that stretches over the top of its third-level retail stores Read more
Heart of Downtown Denver
by John Ludwig, Downtown Denver Specialist
It isn’t all that often that you can find a condo with a large terrace right outside the living room. If a condo has outdoor space, it is usually a small balcony that can hold only a handful of people at one time. So, how about a place with a balcony large enough to host a dinner party for 20 people? Then we’re not talking about your typical balcony, we’re talking about a private, walled in terrace complete with planters, a spot for a grill, a pergola, and plenty of space for seating and al fresco dining!
In Downtown Denver, the 2nd floor At Brooks Tower is one of life’s little secrets. When you think of Brooks Tower you think of the hi-rise building towering skyward along 15th street between Arapahoe and Curtis. Read more
Downtown Denver Construction
by John Ludwig, Downtown Denver Real Estate Specialist
Seems like there’s a lot of cranes and cone zones downtown, doesn’t it? It’s like the city is trying to put on its best outfit for the DNC gathering coming up in August….
But are we overbuilding? Depends on what you read. According to CB Richard Ellis commercial brokers Sam DePizzol and Greg Holm the answer is no.

Lowry Vista Scandal
by Larry Hotz, All Denver Real Estate
A proposed 80-acre park at Lowry in Denver was sold to a private development company for only $10 when the City expressed concerns about dangerous pollution at the former Air Force base landfill.
Lowry Vista is located in the former Lowry Air Force Base which is now a thriving residential "new town" with homes, condo, shops and open spaces in the heart of Denver itself. But, this parcel has a checkered history including the dumping of chemical and possibly radioactive waste.
Play Ball at Coors Field
by Dennis Martin, Littleton Real Estate
Lower Downtown Denver was full of excitement and anticipation it was Opening Day at the Ballpark. Young and old lined the streets and the roof tops enjoying the sunny spring day. Music was playing from every local radio station as you walked the streets. It was a carnival atmosphere around 20th and Blake at our gorgeous Coors field.
Downtown Condo Prices
By Larry Hotz, All Denver Real Estate
"City Condo Prices: Sky’s The Limit".
That was the lead headline this morning in The Denver Post, Denver’s daily newspaper. Despite a softer market outside the downtown area, developers are raising prices on new condo projects downtown.
Dee Chirafisi of Kentwood City Properties is sometimes called "the Mayor" of Downtown Denver. She meets are greets about every third pedestrian as she meanders the sidewalks of Lo-Do. She is also the top selling Realtor in those parts of the city and a listing broker of the 51-story tower
