Loft
Living
Loft
living is different. They are great spaces
for those folks with a minimalist life style.
People that don’t want to mow the grass,
or repair the sprinkler system every spring.
Lofts are great for People that travel.
Just turn off the oven and iron, lock the
door, and leave.
People
that like the action of the city, the closeness
of all the things to see and do like lofts.
Walk to work, or dining, or to all of those
really great shops and service boutiques
that aren’t part of a chain. But, and
there is always the but, lofts come in many
different styles in Denver.

Lower
Downtown Living?
Lower
Downtown was a bustling commercial area during
Denver's early years. However, much of Denver's
industrial economy shifted away from Lower Downtown
after World War II, and almost one-fifth of the
buildings in the area were demolished in the 1960s
and 1970s. In order to preserve Denver's historic
legacy, Denver City Council created the Lower
Downtown Historic District in 1988. The historic
district designation introduced zoning ordinances
that limited building heights, preserved dozens
of buildings from the wrecking ball, and instituted
strict guidelines for building rehabilitation
and new construction.
The
increase in residents in Downtown's central business
district can be attributed in part to a growing
list of Downtown amenities. Coors Field, Denver
Performing Arts Complex, Denver Art Museum, Colorado
History Museum, Cherry Creek bikepath, Denver
Public Library, Civic Center Park, Pepsi Center
and the Paramount Theater are all within walking
distance from Highland Terrace Lofts which are
located adjacent to lower downtown.
The
opening of Denver Pavilions entertainment retail
complex in 1998 on the 16th Street Mall introduced
52 shops, restaurants and a 15-screen movie theater
to Downtown, and significantly increased the number
of pedestrians on the mall. Larimer Square and
The Shops at Tabor Center remain primary shopping
and dining destinations for Downtown residents.
The number of Downtown restaurants has increased
by almost 100 since 1995. And many Downtown residents
also take advantage of their proximity to continuing
education opportunities at the Auraria Higher
Education Center campus.
