Randy Nichols checks out the view from the top of the Spire

Posted by Ryan Penn, Denver Real Estate Agent, Jan. 7th, 2009

Originally I was hearing that Spire sales would begin as early as late January / early February.  It now looks like sales won’t begin until March at the earliest.  As a broker, I will be invited to the first Broker Open and will have exact details when sales will begin and the exact pricing structure.

In the meantime, we will just have to get our info from sources like the NY Times:

“The Spire will begin sales in March with units starting at $200,000 and ranging to more than $500,000. Its 33,000 square feet of amenities, Mr. Nichols said, includes pools, barbecue grills and media rooms, and the building’s own fleet of bicycles. Retailing on the ground floor is expected to include an upscale restaurant-nightclub, a coffeehouse, a Pilates or yoga-oriented business and a car rental agency.

The tower is being built at 14th Street near Curtis Street, in the heart of the city’s new Theater District, a transformative project designed “in Times Square fashion” around the Convention Center and the city’s new Center for the Performing Arts.” The Theater District’s chairman, Walter L. Isenberg, a Denver-based hotel developer and president of the Sage Hospitality Group, envisions the new district as a bright-lights environment that will draw new retailing and restaurants and attract tourists.

“There is history for this,” Mr. Isenberg said. “Thomas Edison once called Curtis the brightest street in America, and historic photos show it lit up with theater marquees up and down. The vision is to bring back that vitality.”

With the Spire, three planned hotel projects and other developments, more than $1 billion in public and private investment is expected in the area in the next two years, he said.
