Everlasting Views

The Park #9 is sure to impress even the pickiest of buyers with its incredible views of the Downtown skyline…

Hard Hats and Tool Belts

Do good!  It may not be the most grammatically correct phrase, but you get the point.  The Riverfront Park team plans to “do good” every month by building a house for Habitat for Humanity.  We’re strapping on our tool belts, grabbing our hard hats and helping out the real estate community. 

Tomorrow kicks off our first day so the Sales Office will be close.  Don’t fret!  We will re-open at 9am on Saturday morning.

Are You In Skiing Shape?

I know, I know, we have been spoiled in a sense with our 60 degree temperatures, but we all know how Colorado weather can take a turn.  Soon we will have fresh powder on the ground and we will be spending our weekends up in the mountains hitting the slopes! 

Not ready, you say?  Well the Riverfront Athletic Club has the answer!  They are offering a Ski Conditioning (this includes you snowboarders as well) class to all of its members on Saturdays at 10am.  Be sure to take advantage so that you spend more time out in the powder than sitting in the lodge!

All-Star Kiwi Chef

Have you ever been paid to prepare a gourmet meal on someone’s very own private island?  Well, me either.  In fact, when I think of any private island, the haunting image of Tattoo saying ‘hey bawth, da plane…da plane’ resonates in my brain.

Surprisingly, one such chef lives here in Riverfront Park.  Read on to learn more about our All-Star Kiwi Chef, Rutherford Maule.

Mummify Me at the DCM

Support your local community art gallery by popping your head into the Denver Community Museum this weekend to see its newest exhibit, Mummify Me.  Volunteers from around the community “mummified” the things they hold dear.  No, not people, but items like musical instruments or stuffed animals.  The things you want to last forever.

While perusing the land of paper mache and tissue, participate in the live community art event the DCM’s hosting on Saturday, November 15th from 12pm to 5pm.  It’s an event honoring Denver Arts Week by creating a community-made pop-up art scene.  Bring your kiddies, their friends and your creativity!  The museum is free and a guaranteed good time.

See you Saturday!

Just Like That

A few days ago, we lowered a few prices at ONE Riverfront.  We didn’t lower them a lot, but we definitely made an adjustment that mattered.  How do we know?  Since the price change, three new owners have made the now easy decision to call ONE Riverfront home.  Another way of putting that?  Time’s running out.  Take advantage of us while you can!  Wait, did I just slip into full used car salesman mode?  I might have. 

No need to click through unless you want to comment, but you’re welcome to check out the remaining ONE Riverfront residences.  It’s one of the nicest buildings in downtown Denver.

Designing the Public Spaces at Union Station

Over the coming months, members of our team here at Riverfront Park, our partners at Continuum Partners, at a whole cadre of spectacular consultants and curious and dedicated citizens will be designing the new public spaces for Union Station.

The only other project in Denver’s history with a scale similar to Union Station is Denver International Airport, and, to be fair, the focus their was almost entirely efficiency.  How do we get planes in here, get people off of them, put new people on them, and get those planes back out?  At Union Station, there are 10 different types of “movement” that have to be accommodated: Amtrak, the Ski Train, commuter rail, regional buses, the 16th Street Mall Shuttle, the 18th Street Circulator, light rail, cars, taxis, and bicycles.

Oh, and people.  At its heart, the redevelopment of Union Station is really about people: How do they move through the space?  Where do they shop?  Where do they eat?  Where do they rest?  Where do they wait for their train?

Well, it’s this group’s job to figure it out.  So, over the next few days, I thought I’d blog up some of the latest thinking.  But, first, let’s talk about who the people involved in the whole actually are.

Location, Location, Location

Unless you live under a rock, I’m sure you’ve heard about, or witnessed, the sudden market down turn.  The real estate market is certainly taking a pounding.  But, there’s an exception to this countrywide crisis.  Neighborhoods near public transportation hubs, like Union Station, have actually seen an appreciation in home values.  Yes, that includes Riverfront Park.

Take a look at the following article from the Denver Post.  It may make you reconsider buying in the burbs.

Settling Down Isn’t So Bad

We weren’t joking when we said Riverfront residents cover all walks of life.  Read on to meet Sarah Holmen, our world traveler who decided to settle down in our very own Riverfront Park…

Going Ape?

Some mornings are a little better than others.  I love it when I wake up on the right side and everything’s running smoothly.  Unfortunately, I was moving a little slower today.  So, imagine my surprise this morning when I saw not one, not two, but a bunch of gorillas.

Yes, gorillas.  Leave it to Denver to have a Gorilla Run to raise money for mountain gorillas around the world.  We live in one entertaining city!
