About a half dozen projects are under way, recently completed or about to start in the neighborhood north and east of Coors Field. Others include the Silver State Lofts in a building that was a former laundry, the new headquarters for LinhartMcClainFinlon Advertising and Public Relations, and the Flying Dog Brewery. Real estate is like the weather.
High pressure seeks low pressure.
So this is a natural evolution. The city is in the early stages of creating a historic district for the neighborhood that is north of 20th Street, on both sides of Blake Street to 28th Street. JPI's apartment complex is at 29th Street and Brighton Boulevard. When Coors Field opened in 1995, many thought this neighborhood would be one of the first to benefit. Instead, the neighborhood was largely ignored, as Lower Downtown blossomed into one of the hottest and most expensive neighborhoods in the metro area.
