Watch For UpDoNA Advertising on 16th St. Digital Kiosks

One of the issues that UpDoNA has faced is how to make more residents and businesses aware that we are here and working for them. IKE Smart City, who provided DDNNO with a month of free advertising in July, is helping us by graciously offering UpDoNA with the opportunity to place advertising on the 16th St. kiosks. Our ad is currently running and we will periodically run other ads, so watch for them as you stroll down 16th Street

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, 20th Avenue, 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.
