Flour Mill
Lofts is located in the Central Platte Valley, downtown Denver’s
newest community. The neighborhood faces Cuernavaca Park along
the South Platte River with the new Riverfront Park development
to the south. To the east is Coors Field and historic Lower
Downtown Denver (LoDo) with its endless array of restaurants,
pubs, museums, and cultural performances.
Phase 1
comprises 17 lofts and is the converted Pride of the Rockies
flour mill, the last remnant of an industry that flourished
in the Central Platte Valley in the early 20th century. Although
only the mill building and three storage bins survive from the
large grain processing complex, the 1920 mill is the last surviving
structure of its type representing this aspect of Denver's early
20th century milling industry. The building is placed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
Phase 2
is a new 30-unit luxury loft complex designed and constructed
with similar architectural features. Other
features of Flour Mill Lofts include secure building entry directly
off the park through parking garage, state-of-the-art windows
with low emissions glass designed to match the historic scale
and proportions of the existing windows, hardwood floors throughout,
12' to 16' high ceilings, acoustically insulated separate walls,
polished chrome fixtures and guest parking on the upper deck
of parking garage.
