Things certainly are happening fast.   Last week we announced the first two retail tenants in SPIRE and today we announce two more.  The first is someone we’ve already been talking about quite a bit.  Hertz will be operating their flagship “Connect By Hertz” location from the SPIRE building for the city of Denver.  Connect by Hertz is the environmentally-friendly car share system similar to what is already operating in many major cities.  When you need a car for a few hours or a few days, you simply walk downstairs and take one out.  SPIRE and downtown living is designed to be car optional and we have a number of residents who live and work downtown, embracing the pedestrian and public transportation friendly lifestyle.  Because there are times when a car can be very helpful — a big grocery run before throwing a dinner party or a weekend trip to the mountains– a short term car share option will be available.  Mini Coopers for quick trips and larger vehicles for those mountain ventures are part of the Hertz offering.  We’ve already gotten some great feedback on this amenity from a number of future SPIRE residents.  One such car share advocate is relocating from another major city where they already live car-optional.  With the Connect by Hertz service, they avoid the costs of a car, insurance, and parking.  Other residents might  like the convenience of letting their out-of-town guests staying in a SPIRE guest suite enjoy access to a car while they visit the Mile High City.  It’s a wonderful way to share the benefits of SPIRE with friends and family.  Just another “living green” benefit for our SPIRE residents and those in their life.

Now let’s talk about food.  There is a mainstay of downtown living from major city to major city.. .the toasted decadence of freshly made, packed with tasty ingredients sub or sandwich.  You may have read in the Westword about a sandwich shop that started in Boulder and is preparing to “take over the world”.  That sandwich shop is Snarf’s and we are proud to announce that the newest Snarf’s will be at SPIRE.   The menu at Snarf’s is amazing and we invite you to visit their website to see the many, many, many (and many) awards they have received for their incredible tasty sandwiches, sides, and salads.  Our goal is to make sure that in addition to all the wonderful restaurants, pubs, and entertainments spots within footsteps of the building, our homeowners have some of those conveniences right inside their own front door.   It’s just one of the many advantages of life at SPIRE.

More retail announcements will be on the way but in the meantime if you would like to learn more about the wonderful condos and residences at SPIRE, or schedule your own private tour, please contact our sales office at 720-457-7550.

Cheers!
