TEDx Mile High

The Spire is proud to announce such an amazing event going on here in the Mile High City, TEDx Mile High! This is an event you do not want to miss. Denver brings in some of the most creative minds, thought leaders, and innovators to educate, inspire, and stimulate change here in the Mile High City.

TEDx In the spirit of “ideas worth spreading,” TED has created TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxMileHigh, where x = independently organized TED event. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.  The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including Mile High TEDx, are self-organized.

Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world’s leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California (along with a parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Pouring concrete in front of SPIRE

Perhaps you have seen some of the street work in front of SPIRE and the new Row 14 restaurant @ SPIRE.  Well that’s just part of the many great improvements that are part of the new Ambassador Street redevelopment.  We thought it might be nice to share a video with some renderings of this great Downtown Denver project.

Folks keep blogging about SPIRE

Check out this recent post at The Urban Eye..

Downtown Denver’s newest condo tower, SPIRE, has experienced phenomenal sales activity over the past nine months and has now closed on 204 units.  SPIRE’S lender has confirmed that it is the best performing building in their portfolio and thinks it is possible that the 42 story project is the best selling high rise condominium project in the United States.  Besides being an incredible addition to the Downtown skyline, buyers love the location, amenities, spectacular views, unit sizes, attainable price points, and that the project is LEED certified.
