About the property

10th-Floor Loft: 1,006 SF, Balcony & Two Reserved Garage Spaces

This loft delivers a rare downtown combination: generous volume, thoughtful updates, private outdoor space and two assigned garage stalls. Located on the 10th floor of a secure building at 2020 Arapahoe, the southeast-facing unit measures 1,006 square feet and features soaring 12' industrial ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors that create an open, contemporary living environment. The living area flows directly to a private balcony with unobstructed city views—perfect for dining outside, stretching out with coffee, or watching the skyline glow after events at Coors Field.

The kitchen is well-specified for urban living, with rich cherry cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, soft-close drawers, stainless steel appliances, solid granite counters and a convenient breakfast bar that separates prep and entertaining zones. A convenient half bath off the dining area is ideal for guests, while the primary bedroom offers comfortable scale and a large closet. The primary bathroom has been updated with tile flooring, double sinks and a glass-enclosed shower.

Practical features that matter in downtown Denver: a full-size in‑unit washer and dryer, additional storage on the entry level, and—uniquely—two reserved parking spaces in the secured building garage (Level 6). Building amenities and recent capital improvements include secure entry, bike storage, and reported upgrades to HVAC, elevators and roof. HOA dues include building maintenance, heat, water, sewer and security, simplifying monthly utility responsibilities.

Whether you’re a buyer wanting a turnkey urban residence or an investor targeting steady downtown demand, this loft checks multiple boxes: high ceilings and character, practical storage and parking, and an unbeatable walkable location steps from Coors Field, Union Station and Denver’s premiere restaurants, breweries and transit. See agent remarks for showing instructions and request the HOA packet for details on reserves, rules and rental policy.

Editorial market perspective

Downtown Denver condos remain a specialized segment with steady demand for units that combine location, storage and parking. As of early 2026 the condo market in LoDo and adjacent downtown neighborhoods shows modest year-over-year appreciation and relatively low inventory compared with suburban product. Buyers prioritize turnkey condition, secured parking and outdoor space—features this loft provides. Expect interest from young professionals and investors; well-priced downtown lofts with parking often receive multiple showings quickly. Verify HOA rules for rentals if investor use is intended.
