Bag Factory Lofts

A unique infusion of city-close living with added elements that are difficult to come by when living in a loft. Bag Factory is a converted warehouse that adopted it’s name from the original building use, manufacturing burlap bags. Starting in 2003 the first phase of these lofts were the ground-level homes that feature extra-tall ceilings and balcony-level, master suites.  After the first phase was complete the second and third levels were then finished in the second phase completely this interest residential loft building just north of Coors Field.

These twenty-five lofts range from 600 square feet to over 3,000 square feet, featuring 1/2/3-bedroom lofts.  The west-side of The Bag Factory boarders the Rockies overflow parking lot and is used during the baseball season.  Mostly it serves as a buffer between the rail tracks to the west, all while keeping the way clear to a majestic view of the Front Range. 

Bag Factory Lofts have decks and patios facing various directions allowing residents to enjoy city views and mountain landscapes.   A few of the lofts have two or even three patios as part of individual ownership.  Resident are welcome to use the space to simply entertain, grow urban gardens or whatever one pleases to do.

The area has come alive with many live music & entertainment venues, restaurants and taverns.  Places such as The Walnut Room, Casselman’s and Blake Street Tavern are the retail pioneers of the neighborhood.  As much of the industrial landscape begins to transform the area becomes a great option for city dwellers that want outdoor space and proximity to downtown.

2500 Walnut - Benjamin Moore Lofts

Surely you’ve seen the huge “Benjamin Moore Paint” sign in lower downtown Denver. It’s located between Walnut and Larimer and 25^th and 26^th.  The buildings renovation was completed in 2005. There are 39 residential lofts and 2 commercial units. Every unit in the building is laid out differently with unique finishes.  The floors are glazed concrete and each one is unique.  The units are just beautiful and I really love the exposed brick and timber pillars. The builders decided to keep the old fire doors and hang them throughout the building and in some of the units. One unit even has the fire door on rollers and is used for the bedroom door…very cool! If you’re looking for a true renovated loft then you must check out the Benjamin Moore building! One thing to be aware of is that not all units come with covered parking. They recently built a parking garage but it is fairly small and not all units come with a covered parking space.

It’s located in the ballpark district and is just a few blocks from Coors Field. One of my favorite restaurants just two blocks away is Blake Street Tavern. The food is fantastic and it has a real neighborhood feel. You can listen to some great bands just down the street at Larimer Lounge, and of course just another few blocks away are several great bars and restaurants in the heart of downtown Denver… Sullivan’s steak house, Jax Seafood, The Chop House, The Tavern Downtown, and the list goes on.

A recent buyer client of mine called me last week and said he’s ready to put his loft on the market, a little puzzled I arranged to meet the next day at his loft home. When I arrived he invited me in and I have to maneuver around a mountain bike, a road bike and a pile of rock climbing gear. He exclaimed that he was reorganizing his stuff and this stuff was exactly the reason he had to move. Relocating to Denver from Florida he quickly found that the weather in Colorado made it possible to enjoy the outdoors almost everyday of the year. As a result he picked up a few new Colorado hobbies — snowboarding, mountain biking, cycling (roadie), rock climbing, backpacking & camping.

He has outgrown his loft but refuses to give up the convenience of downtown living. His Watertower loft with spectacular city views is now for sale and we will be searching for a home in the Highlands with a garage to fit all the gear that comes with his Colorado lifestyle. This loft boasts 1075 square feet of living space — which comfortably fits most urban people and their equipment. The bike is a way of life in this area but so is walking — his car is parked six of the seven days of the week as Coors Field is a five-minute walk and LoDo or Union Station are both shy of ten minutes by foot. This corner unit faces Coors Field with tons of sun and amazing city views day and night, click it out for the details.

The new development, Zi Lofts, is coming right along. The building that is jump away from Coors Field at 22nd & Blake (2229 Blake St.) is getting taller by the day. When it is complete the build will feature ground-floor commercial space and six stories of residential lofts & townhomes.

The translation for ‘Zi’ is graceful and beautiful which is being built into the design, by Oz Architecture. An Asian inspired Zen garden will adorn the interior common area and individual units will have custom tile, fireplaces and stainless steel kitchens. The floorplans look open and windows bring in lots of light. The building will be complete Spring/Summer 2008 and there are still units available priced between $300,000 and $1,300,000. The location in historic LoDo has spectacular city and mountain views.

Here are a few pictures of what the corner of 22nd and Blake looks like today. One of the many cranes that currently dot the Denver sky.
