Absolutely! Residents at The Coloradan are allowed to have two pets. There are no restrictions on breeds, but all pets must be safe, and their existence cannot create a nuisance to other residents. There is an off-leash dog park in Riverfront Park, and Commons Park is a wonderful place to walk your best friend. Of course, you must be diligent about picking up after your pet, but there are several small green-space areas close by outside the building for pet relief. Refer to the governing documents (declaration, bylaws and rules and regulations) for the details.
What do you mean when you say The Coloradan is a healthy building?
A core principle in developing The Coloradan was to create a place to live that encourages new and progressive approaches to healthy living for its residents. It starts with our location — a former railyard that has been rehabilitated into the incredibly successful Riverfront Park and Union Station neighborhoods. With unparalleled access to transit, The Coloradan features awesome walkability, reducing emissions and trips in a variety of ways. New technology enables groundbreaking energy efficiency in building design and indoor air quality. And small design details such as encouraging residents to use stairs, water bottle filling stations throughout the building and our commitment to ongoing health and wellness programming add up to a truly elevated quality of life. We partnered with Certified Healthy to ensure and validate that The Coloradan is a healthy and safe place to live. And we held ourselves to the highest standards for healthy design and construction. The LEED rating and certification system is the industry standard for environmentally sustainable building. This process offers third-party verification that The Coloradan has been designed and built using strategies aimed at reducing energy and water usage, promoting better indoor air quality and improving quality of life. The Coloradan will be Gold certified under the LEED for Midrise Homes certification.
Is there a doorman?

Parking
How does parking work at The Coloradan?
Parking at The Coloradan is be provided on a shared basis, meaning that parking spaces will not be sold with the homes as assigned spaces. Instead, residents have the perpetual right to lease spaces on a month-to-month or longer-term basis for their use. All parking spaces are unassigned.
If I don’t own my parking space or spaces, how do I know I will have a place to park?
Residents’ right to park at The Coloradan is documented in the governing documents of the building and in an individual parking lease agreed to between each resident and the parking garage owner. If at any point a resident is leasing a space and unable to locate a parking spot, they are able to use the valet parking at The Coloradan for no additional charge. Because of the benefits of smart parking technology, notices will be given to residents immediately if this situation arises.
Why shared parking?
Shared parking is more fair and flexible than traditional deeded parking, as residents are free to customize a parking solution that fits their needs. Residents can add or subtract parking spaces as their lives and preferences change. Residents can add spaces for family members, guests and others who come to their home often, or dial down to as little as they need, as they need it. The shared parking strategy contrasts with the traditional method, which is bundled and inflexible, requiring all residents, regardless of car ownership, to pay for parking through HOA dues, even though a significant amount of parking sits unused the majority of the time.
The shared parking model is efficient, healthy (the model encourages the use of transit), better for visitors and beneficial for residence resales, because new purchasers won’t have to wait for a home that comes with the number of spaces they need at that time. Through the use of new technology, shared parking allows for more spaces to be occupied more of the time while solving a long-time condominium parking problem regarding lack of parking for visitors.
How many spaces come with each residence?
Based on the type of residence purchased, The Coloradan’s residents have a dedicated right to lease at least one space. An owner of a residence has the right to lease parking as follows:
