Golden Triangle, Denver
The Golden Triangle is a neighborhood near uptown Denver, Colorado, USA. Many civic and cultural institutions are located in the northern part of the neighborhood, in an area called the Civic Center.
According to the U.S. Census, the neighborhood's population is 1,577.[1]
Boundaries
The Golden Triangle is not a neighborhood as defined by the city of Denver. However, another neighborhood called Civic Center has roughly the same geographical boundaries as the Golden Triangle:
- North- Colfax Avenue
- West and South- Speer Boulevard
- East- Broadway
The Downtown Denver Partnership and the Golden Triangle Neighborhood Association define the Golden Triangle as extending one block east to Lincoln Street, thereby incorporating almost all of Civic Center Park and the institutions surrounding them (with the exception of the Colorado State Capitol in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and a few buildings north of Colfax Avenue). The main arterial street through the Golden Triangle is Bannock Street. 13th, 14th, and 8th avenues are also important east-west arterials. All of the streets that form the neighborhood's borders (Lincoln/Broadway, Colfax, and Speer) are important transportation corridors for Denver.
History
The Golden Triangle is one of Denver's oldest neighborhoods, featuring many single-family Victorian homes and bungalows built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Between 1904 and 1919, Denver Mayor Robert Speer completed his ambitious plan for the Civic Center area, adding many civic institutions and a neoclassical park to the north of the neighborhood, and creating Speer Boulevard, the neighborhood's western and southern border, placing a leafy concrete urban canyon around Cherry Creek.
Starting in the 1990s, perhaps as a result of the new Central Library, the neighborhood began its transformation into a functional multi-use neighborhood. New condominium and loft developments came into the neighborhood, and many older supply stores and garages were transformed into restaurants, art galleries, and small offices.
Today
The Golden Triangle continues to transform. The Denver Art Museum's new wing was completed in fall 2006, further developing the neighborhood's art scene, which includes various art galleries and the Curious Theatre Company. Denver's new justice center and jail opened in late 2010. In 2012, the agency opened the new Colorado state history museum, the History Colorado Center, neighboring the welcoming design (Denver Post) of the new Colorado State Judiciary building (opened December 2012). Denver startups and venture-funded companies like Convercent are investing in Golden Triangle real estate as well.
The average sale price for a home in the [http://www.usajrealty.com/market-insights/golden-triangle-museum-district Golden Triangle in June of 2016 was $659,900. [2]
The TriVista on Speer apartment community opened for leasing in May 2019. The seven-story, 322-unit building was developed by Legacy Partners, in a joint venture with USAA Real Estate[3] and designed by KTGY Architecture + Planning.[4]
