GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.,
Dec. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- The Denver Tech Center has been perceived primarily as an
employment destination for much of its four-plus decades, a place
where professionals commute to in the morning and leave behind in
the evening. It has been essentially regarded as a ghost town of
high-rise office buildings on the weekends.
That perception is rapidly changing thanks to new apartment
communities and mixed-use developments that have transformed the
former office-centric locale into a live, work and play mecca.
These apartment communities are a key piece to the Tech Center
revolution, breaking the previous mold by offering DTC's employees
the opportunity to live nearby while enjoying a quintessential
Denver metro living experience
infused with many of the benefits of the downtown sector.
Malbec at Vallagio, a new luxury apartment community developed
by LMC, epitomizes DTC's changing landscape.
"The Denver Tech Center no longer is a work-only place, as the
bustling new restaurants and entertainment districts on either side
of Interstate 25 can attest to," said Scott
Johnson, division president of the mountain states and
southwest for LMC. "With a growing number of people exchanging
lengthy commutes for better work-life balance, the DTC's
transformation from business center to well-rounded life center is
cementing its place as a true rival to Downtown Denver. We're delighted to be a part
of it with Malbec at Vallagio, which we believe will cater to that
experience."
Designed to offer luxurious living with the convenience of
nearby retail, entertainment, dining and recreational options,
Malbec at Vallagio creates a comfortable living environment that
most residents simply could not find even a year ago in the
occupation-focused locale.
First established in the early 1970s, the Denver Tech Center has
blossomed into one of the region's most successful employment and
economic trade centers. Comcast, Dow Jones & Company, EchoStar
Communications, JP Morgan, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Nissan
and PepsiCo are among the businesses and corporations that have
headquarters or offices in the DTC. The Greenwood Village area is now exploding with
new restaurants, pubs and an active social scene.
This exciting dynamic has created a demand for quality,
amenity-rich housing in the area to cater to the urban
professionals that utilize the DTC on a daily basis. Situated at
10245 Taliesin Drive, Malbec at Vallagio offers residents a gated
community with resort-style pool and spa, state-of-the-art fitness
center with motivational wall, clubroom, digital package lockers
and EV charging center. The community, which offers an interactive,
high-tech leasing experience, began move-ins in 2017 and all
construction activity will be complete in early 2018.
Consisting of 1- and 2-bedroom homes, many of which have
additional office/den space, Malbec at Vallagio's apartment
interiors are equipped with spacious and upscale features, gourmet
kitchens with granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry and tile
backsplashes, stainless-steel appliances including gas ranges, huge
master suites with walk-in closets, washers and dryers and private
patios or balconies.
"After a thorough assessment of the current apartment offerings
in the DTC, we recognized that there were several groups who were
underserved by the abundance of smaller floor plans in the market,"
Johnson said. "Many of our floor plans were deliberately designed
to expand the bedrooms, closets, living rooms, kitchens and outdoor
balconies as well as adding half bathrooms and dens or offices to
cater to home office residents, people in transition from larger
homes with larger furniture, young families interested in the
Cherry Creek School District or those who enjoy entertaining in
larger spaces.
"Similarly, we recognized that unreserved parking structures
that are often long walks to the residents' homes and that lack the
opportunity for additional storage were generally not what our
demographic desired. At Malbec, we offer private garages with
individual garage door openers to our residents, many of whom would
rather not park their nice cars in an open parking structure."
Located about 15 miles southeast of Downtown Denver, the Greenwood Village area is home to Cherry Creek
State Park and features striking views of the Rocky Mountains. In
addition to the emerging shopping options in the area, Park Meadows
Mall and its upscale shopping outlets are less than two miles from
Malbec at Vallagio. The community also sits directly across
Interstate 25 from IKEA Centennial Home Furnishings, and The
Inverness Golf Club flanks the community to the east.
Those choosing to live a vehicle-free lifestyle will have access
to Downtown Denver and attractions
such as Sports Authority Field, Pepsi Center, Denver Center for the
Performing Arts and Union Station through the RTD Light Rail
System. The light rail has several stops in the DTC area including
the Dry Creek station close to Malbec. Through the light rail
system, residents have access to a wide range of key employment and
recreation centers across the metropolitan area.
