LoDo, Denver, Colorado Real Estate and Relocation Information
LoDo
is Denver’s hot new 23-square block Lower Downtown area, full
of lofts and glitzy condos overlooking the Platte River Valley with
view of the mountains to the west, or close to Coors Field, home of
the Colorado Rockies, or simply in the middle of an exciting urban
redevelopment.
In the early1980s a handful of visionary citizens concerned with
the deterioration of Denver’s lower downtown area began to dream
of a revitalized, park-filled new residential area, close to area
attractions and within walking distance to the 16th Street Mall, downtown,
the Auraria campus of Metro State College, the University of Colorado
at Denver, and Community College of Denver.
The LoDo District was formed in 1988 which began to set in place
design standards for rehabilitating the area’s buildings, including
imposition of building height so that any new buildings would not
block the mountain view to the west. Denver’s old Union Station
is scheduled for redevelopment in the near future.
LoDo is a is a thriving mixed-use neighborhood full of art galleries,
restaurants, brewpubs, jazz clubs, and specialty retail stores. Offices,
condos and lofts top the shops and restaurants below. One of Denver’s
premier book stores, the Tattered Cover, has a location here.
