The Downtown Denver condo and loft market saw a boom of new restaurants to meet our growing market. In 2011 it would be hard to say any neighborhood saw a greater boom than LoHi where we reported on such great spots as Linger, Ale House at Amatos, Williams and Graham and more.
For many, the LoHi neighborhood is the new favorite for new home shoppers as its mix of affordable modern mid rise condos and townhomes or historic Denver lofts are within blocks of many of Denver’s new favorite dining and entertainment spots.
It looks like 2012 is when LoDo starts to fight back to become Denver’s favorite Downtown Condo and Home destination.
On the dining front LoDo is going through a growth spurt. Recent rumors are that the favorite Squeaky Bean of LoHi will be opening across the street from Fogo de Chao in the historic Saddlery Building. We reported earlier in 2011 that the Bean was seeking a new spot… it looks like they found it.
Recently Couhills created a new dining spot in LoDo’s southwest corner and not far away on Wazee Charlie Palmer of New York opened District Meats and began serving up fare. Right next door in December we saw the opening of Palmer’s Wazee Wood Fired Pizza and The Kitchen Plans to open in the spring of this year.
Next we hope to see some revival of the previously vacated locations in Lodo. Half of the old Dixon’s space is slated for the Lucky Pie Pizza & Tap House and that just leaves the old Organixx and 8 Rivers spots to claim.
The Downtown Denver lifestyle is about many things. There is the great walkability to amenities. There is the wonderful series of activities, sporting events, festivals and entertainment.
But perhaps one of the most talked about Denver loft and condo features is our cities great cuisine. In that regard each neighborhood offers its own favorites. What we are seeing in Lodo could be the next era of growth for this Downtown gem.
Let’s not forget that Lodo is adjacent to the new Union Station redevelopment with recent announcements of the new hotel project in the historic station.
What a great way to kick of the new year with great prospects for Lodo. Congrats Denver, life here just keeps getting better.
