Bank Lofts, Historic bank building in downtown Denver, United States.
Bank Lofts is a historic bank building in downtown Denver, located on 17th Street, constructed with limestone cladding and classical architectural details. The structure has been converted into residential units with retail space on the ground floor.
The building was constructed in 1921 by architects Fisher & Fisher as the US National Bank headquarters. It faced demolition in the 1980s but was saved and later added to the National Register of Historic Places.
The building's name changed with its uses: opened in 1921 as the US National/Guaranty Bank Building, it became the Bank Lofts after the 1995 renovation. Its 117 lofts keep original details such as crown molding and vaulted ceilings, and the ground floor holds Bruegger's Bagels, The Magnolia Ballroom and Three Sisters' Café and Catering.
The building is located in the heart of Denver's business district and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can view the exterior and entrance details from the street to appreciate the architectural features.
The building's 1995 renovation cost more than $10.9 million, funded through historic rehabilitation and low-income housing tax credits, a Colorado Historical Society grant, and TIF assistance from DURA. It reopened in 1996 with 117 rental apartment lofts that retain original details such as crown molding and vaulted ceilings.
