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.

HOA Fees & What They Cover

HOA fees at Spire run approximately $450–$850/month depending on unit size. The building is known for being pet-friendly and accepting large breeds — a meaningful differentiator in downtown Denver where many luxury towers restrict dog sizes.

Pros & Cons

✓ What Buyers Love

  • True high-rise experience — 42 floors of genuine height and views
  • Pet-friendly including large breeds — rare at this amenity level
  • Rooftop pool on the 40th floor is among the highest in Denver
  • Competitive HOA for the amenity level
  • Strong rental demand if leasing — flexible lease terms

✗ What to Consider

  • 2009 construction — some units have dated finishes that need updating
  • Speer/14th location is less walkable to Union Station than The Coloradan
  • Elevator wait times can be long during peak hours in a building this tall
  • Parking is an additional monthly cost

Common Questions

What floors have the best views?
Floors 25+ deliver meaningful mountain and city views. The 35+ range is where views become genuinely spectacular. Rooftop pool access is on the 40th floor and available to all residents.
Is Spire pet-friendly?
Yes — and notably so. Large breeds are accepted, which eliminates one of the biggest pain points for downtown condo buyers with dogs.
How does the resale market look?
Spire has a large unit count (~500 units) which means more inventory and more competition when selling. Pricing discipline matters more here than in boutique buildings. Well-priced, updated units move. Overpriced or dated units sit.
Are there STR restrictions?
Yes. Like most downtown Denver buildings, Spire restricts short-term rentals. Verify current building rules before purchasing for investment purposes.
