Two of the most affordable new condo and loft projects in Denver’s Lower Highlands (LoHi) neighborhood!

Boulder Gardens

As many of you know, New Era Realty recently opened a new office in Denver’s Lower Highlands (LoHi) neighborhood. With one of the highest walkable scores in Denver, located only steps from Downtown Denver and LoDo, LoHi is becoming one of the top neighborhoods for loft and condo dwellers (Denver’s trendy LoHi). Area restaurants including Lola, Vita, Forest Room 5, Colt and Gray, LoHi SteakBar and Z Cuisine, just to name a few, make LoHi a culinary delight. With new loft and condo projects springing up everywhere around our office (with many fetching some of the highest prices in Denver), we set out to locate some affordable options for the first-time buyer or buyer on a more limited budget. These two new LoHi loft and condo projects are must-see’s if you don’t want to break the bank!

Sprocket Designs is well-known for designing and building high-quality, ultra modern lofts and condos in some of Denver’s hottest neighborhoods. With over 15 successful projects to-date and several more planned, Sprocket has become a household name especially among discerning loft and condo buyers. Boulder Street Gardens is one of Sprocket’s newest projects which will be located just down the street from our office, between 17^th and 18^th Streets on Boulder Avenue. This collection of 9 “townhome” style Denver lofts and condos is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2010. With pricing starting in the mid $200,000 range to less than $300,000, this project is arguably the best deal in LoHi right now! In fact, they have already sold 1/3 of the units by word of mouth alone (one of our clients snapped the first one up!). This is no surprise given the features found in these Denver lofts and condos! Buyers can choose from 2-3 bedroom, 1.5-2 bathroom units with 900 square feet or more of living space plus an optional basement (a recommended add-on for only $25,000). Each townhome has a private courtyard with patio and fenced yard (very rare at this price point), balcony on the 2^nd level and a 1 car detached garage. Inside the discerning buyer will find a host of modern finishes and surprisingly open and airy floorplans including a 2-story vaulted ceiling in the family room. Please email us or ring John (303-522-7746) and Brian (303-521-622) for more information about the Boulder Street Gardens project as well as current pricing and availability. At current prices, expect these Denver loft and condos to sell out quickly!

The other new Denver loft and condo project we find particularly alluring is the 32^nd Avenue Rowhomes. This collection of 5 new, ultra modern townhomes are priced very attractively between $380,000 and $410,000. These LoHi lofts and condos feature 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1083 to 1200 finished square feet. An attached 1 or 2 car garage, rooftop deck or balcony and sleek European finishes make these an unbeatable deal for the area. Best of all, these lofts and condos are LEED-certified meaning they are environmentally responsible and will save you a bundle on your utility bills! This includes:

- Energy efficient CFL lighting

- Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score of 70-80
