Denver’s Culture Haus…

Here at the Spire we think one of the little hidden gems of this amazing city is the Culture Haus at the Denver Art Musuem. CultureHaus is the educational extension of the Denver Art Museum; CultureHaus connects the young at heart with art. CultureHaus provides its members with a wide range of opportunities to learn about art and collecting. At exclusive events held nearly every month, members and guests can enjoy unique insights about art, private exhibition viewings, and the chance to meet other art enthusiasts and make new friends.

When you choose to become a member of CultureHaus you become part of a unique and exclusive resource that that opens doors to Denver’s emerging cultural and arts scene. CultureHaus delivers on this promise because it’s backed by the Denver Art Museum. And CultureHaus extends DAM’s mission by supporting and networking with youthful arts patrons, emerging artists, and local arts organizations.

CultureHaus membership includes a rewarding experience and these exciting benefits for you PLUS a guest. (Please note: A Denver Art Museum annual membership is required to join CH, and you can join both at the same time.)

• Party at our annual CH Banner Event

• Discover collecting with CH Collects 6 times per year

• Educate your mind at CH InHaus 4 times per year

MIXOLOGY 101

Please join CultureHaus for a fun evening at the New Stir Cooking School in the Highlands for Mixology 101. Mike Henderson, mixoligist extraordinaire, and professional bartender instructor will teach this class. We will learn an overview of cocktail styles and cocktail building basics, which will culminate in all of us taking our own, turn at creating (and sampling) tasty adult beverages!

Due to space constraints we will need to limit registration to 30 participants…so don’t delay!

This is an abbreviated version of Mike’s Cocktail 101 class, which normally costs $55/person.

Happy Holidays to Urban Land Institute as SPIRE Hosts Holiday Party

SPIRE Denver Pool Amenity Level

SPIRE Denver Pool Amenity Level

The Urban Land Institute‘s Colorado members celebrated their 2009 Holiday Party last evening within the glass walls of  SPIRE.   For those not familiar with the Urban Land Institute (commonly referred to as ULI) the Urban Land Institute is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit research and education organization with the mission to provide leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide.  Founded in 1936, the Urban Land Institute now has members in 95 countries all sharing the focus of how to plan, build and design better places.  We like that focus.

It’s always an honor to welcome the Urban Land Institute and its members into SPIRE.  The Urban Land Institute has a focus on responsible development and offers a number of research and education tracks specifically focused on Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design  (LEED) and Green Building practices.  All of us at SPIRE consider sustainable development of critical importance and that is why SPIRE pursued LEED and USGBC Green Building standards in both the construction and operating design decisions.  SPIRE is a USGBC registered project and the roughly 6 months after completion of the building the USGBC should determine which award level the project will receive.   These factors include everything from the pre purchase of wind energy credits for building operations to the design of both trash and recycling chutes on every floor.  That’s right, no more carrying the recycling down to the garage level which is also a sincere effort to make recycling as convenient and easy to do as possible.

We already have our holiday green at SPIRE.  Feel free to drop by our SPIRE experience center at 890 14th street for a tour of the building and all our green building features or give us a ring at 720-457-7550 to speak with a SPIRE sales executive.

Happy Holidays again to the Urban Land Institute and to you!
