Building Overview
At 42 stories and 483 feet, Spire is one of the tallest residential buildings in Denver — and one of the most distinctive on the skyline. Built in 2009 near the Speer Boulevard and 14th Street intersection, it sits at the southern edge of downtown with views that sweep from the mountains to the full city grid below.
Spire attracted significant buyer interest at launch and has maintained a healthy resale market since. The building's glass curtain wall design means floor-to-ceiling windows are standard across almost every unit, and upper-floor units deliver genuine 360-degree views that rival anything else in the downtown market.
For buyers who want height, views, and a full amenity stack without the Union Station price premium, Spire is frequently the answer. The location — near the Denver Performing Arts Complex, Larimer Square, and the 16th Street Mall — is walkable without being directly in the Ballpark noise zone.
HOA fees are moderate relative to other downtown towers at this amenity level, making the total cost of ownership competitive.
