Spire Denver Update

Posted by Ryan Penn, Denver Real Estate Consultant, Dec. 17th, 2008

I have been following this project very closely because of the impact this building will have not only on the Denver skyline but also the 14th street district.  It’s fun watching each day as they add another story and you see the building coming together peice by piece.  It really is an exciting time for downtown Denver Real Estate, despite the “rough” economy.

So here is an update on the project:

• There are now 496 units, down from 503 (floor plan changes)
• Exposed concrete ceilings
• Building to be fully erected with all floors by Jan 2009
• Sales center in the Convention Center by Feb 2009
• First tenants move in by 4th quarter 2009

Spire Denver Overview:
Located directly across the street from the Denver Convention Center, the 950,000 sq.ft. Spire will include 41 stories, 8 of which will incorporate parking, retail and amenities, and the rest a variety of living units ranging from affordable to penthouse. There will be a variety of unit configurations from one and two bedrooms to penthouse units. Once completed, Spire will include a social club, fitness center; pool/hot tubs, media/screening rooms, business center, 24-hour concierge, full time doorman, and assigned parking for every unit. In addition, there is first floor retail, and a high rise club level that is especially designed for the upper floor units.

Unique features:

• The building is intended to reach the first time home buyer, young professional who is looking for a “hip” and exciting urban environment, and those wishing to live, near transportation, close to work, and in the heart of the revitalized Silver Triangle District of Downtown Denver.
• Units will feature floor to ceiling exterior glass windows, granite countertops and pre-wired high speed internet throughout.
