Newest Real Estate Listings in LoHi
Lofts, townhomes and condos are springing up everywhere in Lower Highland. This new project is on Umatilla St. near 29th.
I can’t believe it has been just over six years since I moved to what I knew once as Denver’s North Side. Lower Highland shines as a transformed and gentrified example of fashionable and hip in Downtown Denver neighborhoods. In all fairness, Old Highland/Potter Highland, LoHi, North Denver (or whatever you care to call it) began gentrifying and transformed well before I decided to plant roots here.
Rosa Linda’s is an old-time eatery in the Highlands near downtown. Long time locals mix with young, affluent newcomers.
There were the old-time restaurants like Rosalinda’s Mexican Café, Patzcuaro’s, Lechuga’s and Patsy’s. They were popular with the locals long before skinny jeans and dark-rimmed glasses arrived on the now more affluent new-arrivals. Newer joints as Vita, Lola and Shangri-La were already staples of Boulder Street between 15th and 16th streets as recently as 5 years ago. And, Forest Room 5 was already too hip for most the common folk.

The VIBE in LOHI
Since I moved to Confluence Heights Condominiums, I’ve had the great pleasure of seeing a pretty impressive transformation of our bustling community. These older eateries have been supplemented with many more excellent restaurants, galleries, nightlife and boutiques.
New restaurants like Old Major and Uncle have taken the city by storm. Older spots like the then Aztec Sol and Amato’s Fountains were repurposed into the Highland Tap & Burger and Breckenridge Brewery’s Ale House respectively.
Now, these bistros, boutiques, bars and restaurants need patrons to keep them afloat and these patrons need a place to live, right? This is excites me most about Highland renaissance. In the past couple of months, we’ve witnessed the announcement, commencement, continuation and completion of some very high-profile projects. These projects, both residential and commercial, for sale and for lease,are right here in the heart of LoHi. Here’s a quick highlight of 4 upcoming for sale projects in LoHi:
LoHi Place
First, LoHi Place is a new townhome project, which will replace an old mechanics shop on the northwest corner of 35th and Tejon. The project will consist of 12 for sale townhomes featuring contemporary architecture. The units will range from 2,159 square feet at a price of $579,900 to 2,624 square feet for $799,900. All 12 units will feature a private rooftop deck and a basement, which is quite rare in new construction in LoHi.
LoLa is one of the first of “new breed” restaurants in LoHi. It’s popular with young, affluent clientele for many years.
LoHi Central
Second, LoHi Central is another for sale townhome project set to start construction in the very near future. It will be situated on 17th Street between Erie and Boulder Streets across from Hirshorn Park which, as you know, is also adjacent to Linger, Little Man and LoHi Athletic Club. This project will feature 14 units ranging from 1,900 to 3,250 square feet with massive, hot tub ready, roof top decks. Pricing is from the $500sand 50% of the project is now under contract.
1737 Central St.
Third, 1737 Central St. is a very unique 5–story mid-rise project with only 1 loft per floor. Each unit will feature 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 2,000 square feet, private balconies, 2 parking spaces in a secure garage and unobstructed views of Downtown Denver’s skyline. Prices started at $850,000 for a lower floor unit when the project was completed in 2014.
Umatilla
Lastly, there’s a project currently under construction on Umatilla just north of 29th. I love this unique intersection where the old Downtown Denver grid meets north Denver. This is where Boulder St., 15th St., 29th Ave., and Umatilla St. intersect. I was able to do a little digging and got the inside scoop on the project. 12 townhome units each will offer 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, a 2-car attached garage, and rooftop decks which should have some impressive views of the Denver skyline. 6 of the units are 1,910 square feet and projected to price in the high $500’s. The remaining 6 are 2,010 square feet and should price in the low / mid $600s.
