November UNO – Henry’s Tavern

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.

The November UNO will be on Wednesday, November 13th, beginning at 5:00PM. It will be held at Henry’s Tavern located at 500 16^th St (16^th & Welton). You’ll be able to take advantage of Happy Hour prices till 6:00PM, but stay as long as you want and have a great time with other members. Henrys will graciously be providing some limited appetizers.

December UNO – Cancelled

Due to the proximity to the holidays, the December UNO is cancelled. We look forward to seeing everyone at the January UNO on Wednesday, Jan 8, 2025

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.
