Building Overview
The Coloradan stands as the undisputed centerpiece of Denver's Union Station neighborhood — the only for-sale condominium building on the block, and still the most sought-after urban address in downtown Denver. Built in 2018 by East West Partners and designed by GBD Architects, this 19-story LEED Gold certified tower introduced 334 residences ranging from studios to seven penthouse units on the top floor.
The building's purple terracotta facade is unmistakable against the downtown skyline, and its position directly adjacent to Union Station's train platforms means residents step off the A-Line from DIA and walk directly home. The 22,000 square feet of ground-floor retail — anchored by Whole Foods and a curated mix of boutiques and restaurants — means most daily errands happen without a car.
What separates The Coloradan from comparable downtown towers is the completeness of the lifestyle. It's not just an amenity list — it's a self-contained urban ecosystem in a building that continues to hold its value relative to the rest of the downtown condo market.
