I am a former penthouse resident who signed a 12-month lease. I was here for 11 months and am moving out early because I am unhappy with nearly every aspect of the building. It's no wonder why this building is having trouble being leased up! I was the 9th penthouse resident to leave because of inadequate service and safety.  Red Peak Properties is a terrible company.

UPDATE 2009:

I moved out 2 years ago and they are so strapped for cash that they are making up charges and trying to come after me for them. They sent me a bill for $15,634.00 to try to shut me up from telling people how bad the building is. That's not going to happen, this is a very poorly managed company. I canceled the lease within the terms because of the following reasons and so did almost everyone on the top floor:

SAFETY:

By clicking on the "SAFETY!" link at the top of this review you can verify that according to the supplied data there are 37.5% MORE registered sex offenders within a one mile radius of 1600 Glenarm than the average Denver apartment. As of this writing, the number of registered sex offenders was listed at 54 within ONE MILE. This is a 34% INCREASE since I left the building!! WOW. This is why the next paragraph is so important, and I wish it would have been taken a bit more seriously. Don't let your daughters or sisters lease here.

Even after numerous requests, the building has still not secured the back alley access to the building. The front doors are secured by keycard access but that does no good if any vagrant can walk right up to the back alley and request the service elevator. Anyone can get to any floor (even the penthouse) through this unsecured dock entry. Beware!

NOISE:

The apartments seem to be extremely poorly insulated. Noise complaints are a weekly occurrence. Noise isn t just from neighbors, but from the street below. I m on the 31st floor; I can t imagine what it would be like on the lower levels dealing with the terrible noise at all hours of the day and night.

VALET:

The valet contract is with Silver Cloud and they do a good job with what they have to work with. The underground parking at the building left my car dirty nearly every day they brought it to me (I pay $250 per month for covered parking so it wouldn t get dirty). The outside parking was used for guest parking (you pay another $185 per month for this privilege). It takes the valets up to 15 minutes to bring your car to you if you do not have covered parking The building is out of covered parking as of this writing so get ready to wait a LONG time for your car if you decide to compromise your taste and move in.

CONCIERGES:

Laughable. No real service. When I moved in they said they would deliver my packages. Just last week I waited an ENTIRE WEEK for them to remember they had a package for me. If something is sent overnight, it must be important. The concierges are helpful if you ask them to buzz you into the building. Tipping them doesn't seem to help either. Also, they just hired a new concierge by the name of -----e. -----e looks like he just came from a soup kitchen and will be certain to leave any guests you have with a less than favorable impression of the building.

VALUE:

At the end of the day this is simply a very average apartment in a remodeled 60 year old office building. Because of that you will have general maintenance issues often. For example, I have been trapped in the elevator on 2 different occasions for a very long time. Both times, only a verbal apology was given.

I live on the top floor and if you want to get to Earls Restaurant, you need to take the poorly maintained SERVICE ELEVATOR to reach the entrance. If you have guests you will find yourself apologizing for the elevator. When you are paying over $4000 a month for a rental, you shouldn't have to apologize for the condition of the facilities.

Don't use price as an indication of quality. You would be better living at the new Hyatt next door for the same price. Then, maybe you would get decent service.

OVERALL:

Run! Don't walk from this place. If you have discerning taste, you will choose to live in another high rise building. If you want to talk to me further about this, please contact me via email with your specific questions and I will be extremely happy to speak with you. [email protected]
