Announcements

UpDoNA’s Facebook Page

We encourage all members to go to UpDoNA’s Facebook page and “like” it.  We provide a great deal of information there that is not included in our newsletter.  Since we publish our newsletter on a monthly basis, there are often events or announcements that cannot wait until the 1st day of the following month. Those are published on our Facebook page. Liking it will provide you with access to additional information, events and discounts that you would not otherwise know about.

Mall Project Information

On October 8th, UpDoNA was represented at the official opening of another block of the 16th Street Mall, from Curtis to Arapahoe.  Denver Sister Cities joined us for an amazing day of exhibitions and fun.  Now,everything from Wazee to Arapahoe is completely finished and open.  Stop by and enjoy it!  For more information click on the following link.  16th St Mall Information

October UNO

UNOs (UpDoNA Nights Out) are held on the second Wednesday of each month.  They are a great way to meet other UpDoNA members from other member buildings and have fun in the process.  However, the October UNO is cancelled because of an upcoming membership event.  Watch for the announcement in the Upcoming Events section of our Facebook page .  https://www.facebook.com/updona  

The Election Is Almost On Us – Act Now!

If you aren’t registered to vote, with less than a month before the November election, now is the time to do it.  It’s easy to do online.  Even if you are registered, it’s still wise to verify your registration.  Go to Go Vote Colorado where you can do both of these things as well as other voting-related actions.  You can also go to Denver Clerk Paul Lopez’s Election Q&A Fact Checker for correct information about voting.

DDA District Election Update

On Monday, August 26, City Council voted to refer a question about the DDA to the November 2024 ballot.  The ballot question will ask voters within the DDA district boundaries to approve the use of DDA revenue toward financing the costs of public improvements downtown, in accordance with projects described in the Amended Plan of Development. This ballot question will not increase taxes.

What is Upper Downtown?

Formerly known as the “Central Business District”, we’re now Upper Downtown and we encompass a large section of the downtown area bordered by Lawrence Street, 20th Street, North Broadway, West Colfax and Speer Boulevard.

Our community includes over twenty residential buildings with a mix of condominiums, lofts and apartment rentals.  We’re also home to hundreds of businesses (large and small), as well as multiple parks, dining and entertainment venues of all types.
