History

Penn Square was built in 1967-68 as one of central Denver’s premier luxury high-rise apartment complexes. Located in the historic district of Capitol Hill, Penn Square commanded some of the most spectacular city and mountain views and was in significant demand. In the mid-1970’s, Penn Square was converted into condominiums and has remained a primarily owner-occupied building since that time. In 1996, after the successful outcome of a legal action against Dow Chemical Company, Penn Square underwent a major reconstruction and exterior renovation. Not only did this greatly enhance the structural qualities of Penn Square, but allowed the modernization of the entire building exterior. To this day, Penn Square Homeowner's Association continually strives to improve our property and enhance the lifestyle of all Penn Square residents.

Neighborhood

Capitol Hill was founded in the 1880s as a new residential area for Denver's wealthiest families who graced the neighborhood with some of the most beautiful mansions in the West. These include the historic Molly Brown House and governor’s mansion. The Colorado State Capitol building, with its glistening golden dome, is located on the neighborhood's northwest perimeter at Colfax Avenue and Lincoln Street, just at the juncture of downtown Denver. The dome is seen from many of the units at Penn Square.

Today, Capitol Hill has developed into one of Denver’s most desirable urban neighborhoods. With a diverse blend of the original mansions, quaint houses and luxury dwellings. It can be said Capitol Hill is one of the city’s most interesting areas architecturally and demographically. A mix of young professionals, retirees, artists, and local business owners populate the neighborhood. Certain areas have a somewhat bohemian feel reminiscent of much larger cities. Many part-time residents and corporate visitors keep second homes in the area as well.
