Seller is offering one year of HOA dues to be paid at closing. A penthouse loft inside one of Denver’s most architecturally significant buildings.
History above the city. Light, space, and texture within.
Unit 609 is a rare top-floor residence set in the Denver Dry Goods Building—a historic landmark of turn-of-the-century architecture designed by Frank Edbrooke, also known for the Brown Palace. With 11-foot ceilings, antique Palladian windows, and exposed brick walls, the space feels more like a quiet gallery than a city apartment. And yet the energy of downtown is right outside your door.
The floor plan is open, yet considered. A skylit bedroom anchors the space, while a wardrobe wall in the living area folds down into a second sleeping zone—an elegant nod to flexibility. The kitchen is finished in warm maple and granite, balancing softness with structure. In the bathroom, oversized slate tile and a double vanity lend a spa-like calm.
A rooftop terrace and hot tub—currently being built just beyond your door—will offer panoramic views of the skyline. Secure garage parking, fitness center, and storage complete the package.
Set at the corner of 16th and California, the building is at the center of a newly reimagined downtown. The city’s $175 million renovation of 16th Street has created a pedestrian-focused corridor of walkability, greenery, and connection—a future-forward investment that meets the soul of the past.
The HOA fees reflect the building’s legacy, amenities, and prime location. To support the next chapter of this home, the seller is offering six months of HOA dues paid at closing—an uncommon gesture for a home this singular.
Urban texture. Timeless form. A home with heritage.
