Time To Celebrate

Downtown dwellers live in a prime location for the 4th of July.  Easy access to the mountains, 16th Street Mall, Cherry Creek, Coors Field, the Highlands or your own patio.  Here are some ideas on how to celebrate this year…

Overlooking Commons Park

Park Place #401 is a spacious two-bedroom home with amazing views of the Rocky Mountains AND downtown Denver.  The gourmet kitchen features a huge window overlooking Commons Park, granite counters, polished concrete floors, stainless steel appliances and maple cabinetry.  The expansive living area is composed of a dining room and a comfortable living room with a large balcony.  Enjoy warm summer nights on the balcony with an intimate view of Commons Park below.  The large master has great city views, a walk-in closet and five-piece master bath.  This home is spacious, urban and in immaculate condition.

Dog Days of Summer

Denver is a dog town.  Enough said.

We love our pups more than most people.  To show our love, the City and County of Denver arranged a little get together at the intersection of Bassett Circle and Little Raven, directly next to Commons Park, to promote responsible pet ownership.

The details…

Free Personal Trainer

Curious what it would be like to have a personal trainer?  To have someone tailor your work out routine to conquer your ‘trouble areas’ or to avoid the exercises you dread.  Well, now’s your chance.  Win two free personal trainer sessions every month at the Riverfront Athletic Club.

Here’s how.  Write your contact information on the back of your favorite RAC personal train’s business card.  Place it on the table next to front desk.  How knows, it may be your name called next month.

Denver’s Clean Little Secret

It never stops, really.  People just can’t stop talking about how cool Denver is.  The latest version of Denver pumping comes courtesy of the online newsmagazine, Slate.  The tagline: “Why so many green jobs are sprouting in Colorado.” And, it’s true.  Companies are coming to Denver to do green work.  There’s no easy way to quote the article, but click this link and you can read all about it.  There’s no reason to click through on this post unless you’re just dying to say something, in which case, click away.

Gardening in the City

Who says you can’t have a garden if you live in the city?  It may be more difficult, but it’s far from impossible.

A couple in ONE Riverfront proves that limited patio space can still produce a beautiful garden.  One that is low in maintenance, high in function, and down right gorgeous.  In fact, their rooftop garden won a three-page spread in Colorado Expressions.

Take a look, and get inspired.

June 2009 | Fashion

The first Riverfront Park Fashion show of 2009 has come and gone.

The soiree was sophisticated, classy, and feminine.  The Vibrant Green theme transformed the Plaza at Riverfront Park into a sharp and elegant affair with guests painted in shades to match.

Take a peak at a few snapshots from the event…

Muscle Works

It’s not a myth.  Muscle weighs more than fat, but it also makes you lean and strong.  Hmmm, touch decision, build muscle or be a couch potato.

There’s a way to kick your mid-week workout slump and build that much needed muscle.  RAC offers back-to-back-to-back muscle classes.  Start Tuesday with Autumn, spend Wednesday with Brian and finish up Thursday with another class by Autumn.

Intimidated?  Grab a friend and ask Autumn or Brian to crank the music.  Working out is less scary if you’re rocking out to your favorite tunes.

City and Mountain Views

Glass House 2108 is located in the Southeast corner and is arguably the best corner of the building.  From this 21st floor home, you have panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains and the downtown Denver skyline.  This residence has been fully upgraded with hardwood floors throughout, solid core maple doors throughout, custom shower doors, closet systems to maximize space, wine refrigerator, ceiling fans, and custom paint.  The location, combined with priceless view, cannot be beat.  This home is fabulous inside and out!

Outdoor Movies

Downtown Denver hosts a modern day drive-in movie theater on the lawn of Skyline Park twice a month.  It’s a fun way to take full advantage of the warm night air while catching up on your movie classics.

It’s Only The Beginning

The first part of the 18th Street Bridge has arrived. 

Look toward the empty plot of land near Union Station and you’ll spot a big steel mass, and an even bigger crane that will hoist the bridge into place.  Soon enough, Riverfront Park and downtown Denver will have two pedestrian bridges connecting one another.  How exciting!

There’s A Theme Here

Once again someone, and this time it’s a big boy called, “Forbes,” has named Denver the best residential real estate market in the country.  Okay, that’s not exactly what they said.  What they really said is that it’s the best place in the country to buy a home.  And, quite frankly, that’s even better news.  Why the choice?  Well, you’ll either have to go read the two stories for yourself, or click through to get a nice, short summary.

Vroom Vroom

Calling all motorheads and motorcycle aficionados, there is a new museum in Colorado featuring motorcycles from 58 motorcycle manufacturers across 13 countries over a 60-year time span.

Jim Dillard, the Vintage Moto Museum’s founder, transformed his vintage motorcycle collection into a museum to share his passion with all of Denver.  Located on 2762 Walnut Street, this museum is like no other.  For starters, Dillard is set on time and appreciation meaning he wants his visitors to enjoy ample time with the bikes to truly appreciate his collection.  Say so long to crowds, and learn the art of the motorcycle.

Highland Farmer’s Market

Every Saturday from 9am to 1pm is the Highland Farmer’s Market on Boulder Street. 

Just think.  It only takes five minutes to walk and buy fresh flowers, herbs, fruits, vegetables, tamales, salsa, jams and organic soaps.  Each week brings a different mix of vendors with more choices as the season passes.

There is also live music and activities for your kiddos. 

I-Scream, You-Scream

Jay wheeled in a summer essential today, his ice cream cooler!  Now the Plaza at Riverfront Park truly has it all; dry cleaning, a bank, a pet store, coffee, cocktails, wine shop, restaurants, and now, ice cream!
