According to denverinfill.com, the number of residential units completed in the heart of the city since September 2013 reached 2,982. Over a dozen projects are currently under construction or proposed to break ground within the next year or so, which if all are completed will add a total of 7,388 new units between January 2012 through mid-2015.That will add approximately 11,000 new urban dwellers and bring nearly $1.5 billion of residential investment to downtown Denver... wow! Sleepy cowtown no more!!

Let us know if you want to give up that long commute for a short stroll to work, we can find you the perfect downtown place!
