James Wright III+FollowDenver’s empty towers become new homesDowntown Denver’s skyline is about to get a major upgrade—imagine hundreds of empty office floors turning into bright, affordable apartments. StudioLowe Design’s Well-Ness Affordable Housing project is transforming the nearly foreclosed Republic Tower into a model for reusing vacant high-rises. Instead of tearing out floors for light, they’re carving clever light wells and using mirrors to bring sunshine deep inside, all while keeping every bit of space. This means faster, cheaper construction and up to 780 new homes, plus sky plazas and outdoor patios for real community living. Could this be the future of affordable housing in cities everywhere? #Entertainment #Painting #Denver00Share
pbrewer+FollowGoing to Denver Made Me Realize How Many Cities Hide Their Problems Behind Mountains” Denver looks perfect from afar — mountains, breweries, clean air. But when I explored beyond the tourist map, the image cracked. Locals complain about Californians raising rent. Californians complain locals hate newcomers. Homeless camps keep getting “relocated,” meaning pushed out of sight before big events. One bartender told me, “Denver is becoming a city for people who don’t actually live in Denver.” And honestly? I felt that. It’s wild how a city can look so peaceful while quietly fighting a war between old residents, new money, and people who can’t afford to be there at all. #Travel #Denver #Gentrification4313Share
Aaron Ballard+FollowDenver property taxes set to climb in 2025Denver homeowners are facing a bigger school tax bill next year—even though Denver Public Schools actually lowered its tax rate. The catch? Skyrocketing home values and a surge in tax refunds (abatements) mean the district has to collect more from everyone else to make up the difference. For many, that’s an extra $192 or more, depending on your neighborhood’s reassessment. With decades of voter-approved bonds and rising costs for aging schools, DPS is locked into most of its tax rate. How do you feel about paying more for schools as property values soar? Let’s talk about what this means for our community. #RealEstate #Denver #PropertyTax00Share

Charles Coleman+FollowDenver’s airline billboard war is heating upDowntown Denver just became the stage for a laugh-out-loud showdown between Southwest and United Airlines.

With both carriers expanding at DIA, could this rivalry mean better deals or more choices for us? What do you think—does this kind of competition make you more loyal to one airline, or just more entertained? #News #Denver #AirlineRivalry10Share
