Flour Mill Lofts

If the Equitable Building in downtown Denver is the city’s finest office building (see earlier review), then the Flour Mill Lofts, which is listed in the National Registry Of Historic Buildings, is the finest condominium in all the downtown area, and specifically the Central Platte Valley.
Ya know, real estate agents are always droning on about, «location, location, location.» Well there’s no better location to live in town than the Flour Mill Lofts. Sitting as the only building on the eastside of Cuernavaca Park, and looking clear out to the mountains, these true lofts have the equivalent of a ½ square mile front yard that includes the Platte River and parks on both sides of the water, all to itself. No other buildings or developments around, and less than a 5 minute walk to Coors Field and LoDo. No more worrying about DUIs picked up on the way home from the bars. Just walk 5 minutes and you’re home.
The FML is so cool and has so much character and style that nothing else in Denver comes anywhere close. Saved from destruction and re-​developed by Dana Crawford – the person who developed Larimer Square back in the 70s – this former «Pride Of The Rockies» flour mill has 2 buildings: the original building that has uniquely designed spaces in the original mill building, itself; and a newly developed building that has modern more «regularly» shaped units.
Each morning, before the neighborhood urban preppies to the south in the River Front area wake up from their alcohol-​induced nightmares, Cuernavaca Park returns to its wilderness days. More often than not in the very early morning or after dusk when you walk the more than ¾ mile circle around the park, you’ll see fox, beaver, an occasional deer, waterfowl, and even once my honey and I came upon a small black bear, driven downstream by a mountain fire to the west.
There’s no neater place to live in Denver than the FML, and one day when you’ve nothing better to do, or if you’re looking for the coolest place to live in Denver and want to take a peek at one of the units, call up those nice folks at Kentwood Realty downtown. (Our favorite agent is Jessica Peterson, but they’re all nice) .They’re the ones that seem to get all the listings in the building – and check out a unit!
