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 !

SPIRE Denver Happy Hour

Last night as the snow fell on the streets of Downtown Denver a few hundred future homeowners, brokers, and SPIRE team members enjoyed the spectacular view from SPIRE’s 9th, 10th, and 42nd Floors.

The views out to the snow covered city and the warm energy of celebration inside made for a pretty incredible night.  For many joining us last night it was the first opportunity to see the completed amenity areas including the fully furnished club rooms and the extensive fitness center.  Inside food, drink and laughter was shared as neighbors enjoyed meeting each other and experiencing the SPIRE lifestyle.  The winter weather was a definite gift creating a beautiful panorama of city lights and snow flakes from the 42nd floor Sky Club to enjoy.  Many were undeterred by the low temperatures outside and ventured onto the 9th floor pool deck to warm themselves by the fire pit, wine glass in hand, while taking in the glow from the pools and hot tub while steam rose into the air.  What a wonderful sight to see so many smiles.

For those who didn’t have the opportunity to join us for this event we can share a little summary of what was seen by all.  The amenity levels have been decorated with expertise from some pretty fabulous designers and the technology gurus equipped both the 10th floor private theater room and the 9th floor sports zone with amazing quality large screen displays and sound systems.  From the elaborate chandeliers in the lounge to the Macintosh workstations in the office center, attention was spent on every details.  The result is terrific and it was a pleasure to see the joyful reactions from Happy Hour attendees.

For those who made it to our event thank you for helping us celebrate the finishing touches that have gone into each SPIRE amenity.  If you would like to see more photos inside SPIRE from this event please join us at SPIRE Denver on Facebook.

The SPIRE Open House was held on July 17, 2009 for all current reservation holders and their guests.  It was the first chance for everyone attending to see the amenity floors (9, 10 and 42), browse the completed homes on the 30th Floor and have a drink while watching the sunset in the SkyClub (Floor 42).   The weather was beautiful, food was fabulous and drinks were plentiful….all in all a successful evening.   If you weren’t able to attend, stay tuned – we will be hosting another Open House!
