SPIRE is bustling with activity. New SPIRE homeowners have moved in and are enjoying their new downtown Denver lifestyle and the many SPIRE amenities. What’s their favorite amenity… is it the fitness center, pools, hot tubs, theater room, or perhaps simply the location and views? We decided to ask our new homeowners.
Welcome to the first of our homeowner interviews. We are proud to introduce you to SPIRE resident Jim Deak. Not only is Jim one of our first homeowners but he shared with us that he is getting married this coming weekend and may be “the first couple officially starting their lives together at SPIRE”. Congratulations Jim and Kristen!
Here is our interview with Jim.
What first attracted you to SPIRE?
Maintenance free living in the downtown Denver environment. I was also taken by the views, premier location and amenities the building has to offer.
When you were evaluating your different options for condos in Denver, what factors helped you determine that SPIRE was your #1 pick?
The location- centrally located near the theatre district, the 16th St Mall Shuttle, and an RTD Light Rail Stop. The proximity to 100′s of restaurants, sports facilities and unique shopping opportunities. There are other upscale living opportunities in downtown Denver, but they couldn’t compete with this building’s location, amenities and value. As a licensed Real Estate agent, my sense for value and location led me back to SPIRE after comparing it to other downtown options.
Which residence/floor plan did you select for your home and why?
We chose the Arapahoe- it’s a 2br floorplan that offers a fantastic west facing view of Invesco field, surrounded by the Rocky Mountains as a backdrop. That’s the west view- looking to the east we see the “Christmas Tree” building, the Colorful Clock Tower, and the lights of downtown living.
Do you have a favorite amenity within the building?
The 2 outdoor hot tubs have been doing wonders on my senses- I mean sore back. More seriously, the Box Office is the best home theater I have ever experienced short of IMAX movies.
When did you move in to SPIRE?
As soon as possible! April 28th was the date. The porter staff was a nice added benefit holding doors open and just helping insure a smooth move.
As a SPIRE homeowner, can you share some of the best things about living at SPIRE and in the heart of Denver?
5 minute walk to the Buell Theater and the 16th St Shuttle. RTD light rail and B-Cycle is at your doorstep. Walk or B-Cycle to any downtown work site. The outdoor pool, hot tubs, box office and the rest of 2 floors of amenities that can’t be found anywhere else. Did I mention the stunning city and mountain views?
Do you have any recommendations for new homeowners to SPIRE (restaurants, events, things to do)?
Buy now, before prices rise further! Little India is a weekly stop for take out or the lunch buffet. Ride the B-Cycle to REI for coffee and some weekend trip supplies. Take a run or bike ride along the South Platte River paths.
Any thoughts on the growth and development that is happening in Downtown Denver?
The 14th St Redevelopment project is going to be exiting to watch as it continues to build on SPIRE’s location and its proximity to great restaurants, sporting events and theater.
Thanks Jim !
