Slated to begin construction in 2012, the proposed Riverwalk master plan includes 1milliion square feet of entertainment, retail, restaurant, hotel and concert space, which will include a Rugby Hall of Fame, a 4,000-seat amphitheater and a trolley system which will shuttle passengers to and from the Cherry Creek Shopping Center and Infinity Park.

At the center of the proposed project is a navigable channel, which will make this a true waterfront experience and the first of its kind in the metropolitan area. The man-made channel will extend the entire length of the 22 acre development.  It will accommodate electric-powered boats that will seat approximately 20 passengers.

The gateway to the Riverwalk will be located at the intersection of Colorado Boulevard and Virginia Streets.  There will be a bridge that connects Ash and Birch Streets across the channel.  The Cherry Creek Bike Path, which currently runs along the north side of the creek, will be moved to the south side at this location in order to enhance the
Riverwalk’s Pedestrian and bicycle –friendly experience.

According to the City of Glendale, “the intent of this new public improvement project is to create a beautiful greenway in the heart of Denver that encourages a variety of active and passive uses and demonstrates how well-cared-for natural areas can provide substantial and long-term economic value to adjacent entertainment/shopping/retail centers.”

Well, I certainly agree and am excited to see the results!  Glendale’s otherwise sleepy
reputation is changing and the city is becoming a vibrant part of the social
hub of Cherry Creek.  This Riverwalk should serve to create even more real estate demand in an already very desirable area.

Morgan’s Historic District is located along the southern border of the Denver Botanic Gardens and includes only 57 homes. The neighborhood was developed in the 1920s and 1930s by some of Denver’s most prominent citizens. All homes on the tour are considered historically significant yet have been updated to meet the demands of modern living while meticulously preserving many unique characteristics of each home.

This year Coldwell Banker Devonshire is the presenting sponsor of the event.  Myself and my colleagues will be there to greet you at the door of each of these five beautiful homes which will be bedecked and bejeweled for the holiday season, by the area’s most popular local vendors.

If you are interested in the home tour, please contact me for discounted tickets:  mandynadler@comcast.net  Admission is FREE for the Boutique, which will be located on Fillmore Plaza (Fillmore Street between 1^st and 2^nd Avenues), just south of Eileen Fisher.

For those who are interested in the VIP experience, the Patron Preview Party and Tour will be held November 17^th from 6 to 9 pm at one of the homes.  Attendees will enjoy carolers, cocktails and an elegant spread of delicious holiday food, as well as, a first opportunity to tour the L’Esprit homes and the only chance to view them at night.  Tickets are $250 for benefactors, $150 for patrons and $90 for junior patrons (age 35 and younger) and are available through invitation or may be purchased on the Central City Opera website:www.centralcityopera.org/lesprit.
