Located at the corner of a busy intersection in Denver’s RiNo neighborhood, the Icona live/work building offers a unique urban opportunity at the edge of several residential districts. Its prime location provides flexible live/work arrangements in a vibrant, high-demand area where housing options are limited, making it a standout choice for both professionals and entrepreneurs.

The building features eight thoughtfully designed residential units, each with commercial space on the ground floor, primary living areas on the second level, and sleeping areas on a mezzanine. Private rooftop garden spaces extend each unit outdoors, providing light, air, and outdoor retreat in the heart of the city.
Street-level commercial spaces are highly adaptable, ideal for small businesses, short-term rentals, or expansion into additional living space for the unit above. This flexibility ensures that Icona can evolve with the needs of its residents and business owners.
High-performance walls and triple-pane windows create an energy-efficient, durable envelope. Double-height living spaces enhance daylighting and create a sense of openness, while recessed areas along the west-facing façade help manage solar gain, keeping interiors comfortable year-round.
Icona exemplifies the perfect blend of modern living, urban convenience, and smart design, making it an attractive option for those seeking a live/work lifestyle in Denver’s most dynamic neighborhood.
