We are very excited about our new front entrance. After being under construction for over 2 months our office is now looking better than ever. We have a fantastic street apeal and are much easier to access! This is an article published about our new success! Check it out! (Denver, Colo. – January 25, 2007) Kentwood City, along with nearly 1,000 of their clients and friends, celebrated a different kind of opening last week – a door opening. The brokerage firm has long been located at 1660 17th Street. After growing to nearly 40 brokers this year, Kentwood purchased the entire first floor of the building in July 2006. Subsequently, managing broker Jim Theye launched a significant renovation project that’s led to a much larger office and a new entrance on Wynkoop. Facing Union Station, the new entrance opens the door, and the possibilities, to the new development of Denver’s hub. “The Wynkoop side of our building has long been ignored,” said Theye. “Now with Union Station’s redevelopment, it will be the center of LoDo activity and we’re excited to be a part of that.” In addition to the new doorway, Kentwood City added 3600 square feet to its first floor offices, adding room for their growing team. The firm added ten brokers in 2006, and saw 40 percent growth in total closings, bucking the downturn trend in the overall Denver housing market. To celebrate, Kentwood rolled out the red carpet – literally. The Wynkoop Street entrance was given its very own VIP treatment, complete with flashbulbs and spotlights visible far and wide. And the real estate celebrities of Denver came out to celebrate. Kentwood City has long been associated with Denver’s most high-profile real estate projects, and 2006 was no different. Roger Pecsok of Continuum Partners, part of the team selected to redevelop Union Station, attended the gala on Thursday. ”We have a long working relationship with Kentwood City, said Pecsok. “This new space is not only beautiful but its physical presence in the heart of LODO is symbolic of Kentwood’s position in the marketplace.” Also in attendance were the great diversity of Kentwood clients ranging from multi-unit developers, to long-time clients, to first time homebuyers. Theye estimated about 1000 attended the opening. “As a new broker, I was thrilled to see hundreds of past and current clients at the opening,” noted Mike Rivera, who joined the Kentwood City team with wife Melody in October. “It’s exciting for us to see the energy and excitement around the new offices, and the continued growth of LoDo.” “The urban center of our city is growing,” noted Theye. “Our office had a record year despite some gloominess in the market.” Theye, also past president of LoDo District, Inc., made clear that he is committed to the growth of his firm as well as the growth of the downtown community. With their larger offices, Jim and his team created a (NUMBER) square foot board room which will be made available to neighborhood and community groups. “Our brokers share a vision for LoDo’s renaissance, reflecting a mix of retail, restaurants, residences and business. With the revitalization of Union Station, we believe this building will continue to serve as an important entryway into lower Downtown, as it has since the birth of Denver.” Architects Chris Shears of Shears Adkins and Jim Bothwell of Bothwell Davis George Architects collaborated on the redesign of the space.
