The
Rusty Bucket Restaurant & Tavern has signed on as the first retail tenant in Southern Land Co.'s apartment project at 18th and Central streets in Denver's Lower Highland neighborhood.
The restaurant, which provides comfort food in a family friendly environment, will occupy 5,250 square feet in the building, which is under construction on the site of the former Mile High United Way at 2505 18th St.
"Having a neighborhood restaurant and tavern on the site only increases the attractiveness of 18th and Central, offering future residents a convenient spot to catch a game, grab a late-night meal or network over lunch," says Tim Downey, CEO of Southern Land.
The development, scheduled to open next fall, will include 317 apartments in two buildings. There will be a mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom units. Amenities include a rooftop deck with fire pits, pool, 24-hour fitness center and on-site dog services. There will be underground parking for 405 vehicles and bicycle storage.
In addition to the space Rusty Bucket will occupy, the building has two more retail spaces of 1,450 and 2,600 square feet. Rusty Bucket will have a dedicated guest entrance with direct access to the garage, which will have about 55 spots for retail customers.
"LoHi offers the perfect mix of entertainment and shopping options for new residents," says Gary Callicoat, president and founder of Rusty Bucket. "Rusty Bucket will add to that mix by offering chef-driven comfort food, featuring fresh ingredients and bold flavors, house-made artisan cocktails and local and seasonal craft beer selections."
