I lived in this building for just over 4 years. The apartment itself and amenities in this building are fine.

There were a few problems. The refrigerator in the apartment was extremely loud when it was running. I’d never heard such a loud refrigerator before. There was no way to fix this issue, so I had to buy a small refrigerator myself for the apartment. Also, the water went out much more often than any apartment that I’ve lived in before. But it didn’t bother me too much, to be honest.

The... main reason for my low rating of this apartment was the following:

When I moved out of the apartment, I had to move out before my lease ended, but with less than 2 months remaining on my lease. And the management charged me the 2-month early termination fee, even after I told them that I was planning on paying the remainder on my lease.

This was very disappointing and did not seem right, since I ended up having to pay more in total than what I should have paid for the full term of the lease. It didn’t seem legal for them to do this, but I’m not sure, and with the amount of money involved, it wasn’t worth trying to figure out. Read More

I could not have had a worse experience living here. The main problem is how mean and rude the management staff are and a complete lack of empathy towards their residents. They care about future residents and profits and don't have a care in the world about the experience of their current residents.

In the year I lived here the hot water was turned off at least a dozen time if not more (once for the span of 5 days), garage doors have been broken multiple times (at one point for 3 months). The... building has been under constant construction with construction zones blocking entrances, noise all day every day (can't even imagine working from home), and amenities that we are paying an arm and a leg for closed down (gym, pool, etc.)

And the cherry on top was my unit as well as the rest of my floor flooding (supposedly at no fault of Griffis or so they say). It took them TWO MONTHS to repair my unit. I had no flooring and holes in my dry wall for two months before they were actually able to get repairs done. During that time, all I got was an insignificant discount on my rent and a property manager telling me "I know this is uncomfortable, but we aren't required to do anything based on your lease". Absolutely no empathy to me or the situation you are asking me to live in.

Do yourself a favor and live elsewhere. Read More

Here's the revised review without any references to granite countertops:

I recently had the pleasure of living at Griffis Lodo in downtown Denver and I have to say it was one of the best living experiences of my life. The building is in a prime location with easy access to all the best restaurants, bars, and shops in the area. The building itself is beautifully designed and well-maintained, with top-quality amenities and services that make you feel like you're living in luxury.

The apartment... units are spacious and modern, with high ceilings, large windows, and stunning views of the city. The kitchens are fully equipped with stainless steel appliances making it easy to cook and entertain guests. The bathrooms are equally impressive, with sleek designs and high-end finishes that make you feel like you're at a spa.

One of my favorite things about living at Griffis Lodo was the incredible community of people who live here. Everyone is friendly, welcoming, and respectful, and there are plenty of opportunities to meet new people and make lasting friendships. The building also hosts regular events and activities, which are a great way to get involved and have fun with your neighbors.

Overall, I would highly recommend Griffis Lodo to anyone looking for a beautiful, luxurious, and welcoming place to call home in downtown Denver. The staff is amazing and always willing to help with any questions or concerns, and the amenities and services are top-notch. If you're looking for the ultimate living experience in the heart of the city, this is the place for you! Read More

There have been numerous car break ins, intruders in the building stealing things and having violent outbreaks, as well as fireworks being shot off from balconies and landing on other resident’s patios almost hitting their pets. Also, we’re being forced to switch to Fetch, a service that’s notorious for stealing packages without any ability to opt out. RUN!

I have lived at 1490 Delgany for over 6 years and have never felt the need to write a review...until now.

Oftentimes, in customer service, the client just wants to be heard and spoken to with compassion and respect. Even if you don't have an answer or a solution, acknowledgment and the intention to understand goes a long way. So, while I am here, here is a list of notable grievances since this organization took control of 1490 Delgany.

Communication - Communication is horrific and typically... one sided at Griffis. They will impose changes but not engage in constructive communication with residents. This avoidant and dismissive communication style often infuriates people and escalates situations.It's natural to assume when you live in a luxury apartment building that you receive excellent customer service.

Fire, Life, Safety - In late September my carbon monoxide detector started sounding on Friday afternoon. I immediately submitted a request with the front desk, and had to submit 2 additional requests until it was finally addressed that following Wednesday afternoon. Fire, life, safety is supposed to be addressed immediately. For weeks if you walked the halls at 1490 Delgany, you heard everyone's carbon monoxide detectors loudly chirping. And sadly, this happened to one of the residents while she was at work and her dog was home alone. The detector chirped so loudly and repeatedly for hours, that the frightened dog clawed at the 7th floor screen window and ultimately fell to its death onto the 3rd floor courtyard. Our neighboring building made attempts to notify Griffis of the scared animal, but no action was taken. This incident was never acknowledged by management.

Construction - There is an incredible amount of construction going on at 1490 Delgany right now. So if you work from home, they're recommending you go sit in the common areas of the building and work. Constant hammering and 3rd party vendors walking through the halls. They are scheduled to do major construction on the gym and pool area, which we will lose access to and most likely not see an amenity credit in our rent fees.

Concierge - Connie is the only amazing part of living here. But sadly it seems they will be ridding our building of this service as they are transitioning everything to be contactless and soulless. So it will become an expensive, contactless, soulless, and sterile community. We will be one of the only downtown luxury buildings with no concierge. Read More
