A three story mixed use building at Park Avenue and Curtis Street is undergoing a major shift in use, as the second and third floors transition from traditional office space into luxury short term rental suites.
Originally designed and built as the headquarters for Open Studio Architecture, the building is now being repositioned under a hospitality-focused concept branded as HR2 under Hotel Residential of Denver.
The project is being led by owner and developer Jon Van Sistine. If the name sounds familiar, it is because he is the brother of Matt Van Sistine, who is currently redeveloping 2100 Larimer.
This concept builds on an earlier iteration around the corner at 2109 Larimer Street, where the developer converted a smaller three story mixed use building into two floors of luxury suites above a ground floor barbershop tenant. At 1010 Park Ave, the model is being scaled significantly.
The property will deliver two full floor “Grand Suites,” with the second floor totaling 5,330 sq ft and the third floor 4,661 sq ft. Together, the building offers nearly 10,000 sq ft, 15 bedrooms, and capacity for up to 30 guests.
Each floor is designed to operate independently or as part of a full building buyout, allowing the property to function as a private urban resort for corporate retreats, group travel, and events. The second floor includes a 16 person conference room, while the third floor is geared toward more social uses.
Amenities include private balconies, large format TVs, game areas, high speed WiFi, and optional private chef services, positioning the project beyond a traditional Airbnb toward a more experience-driven hospitality product.
The project is also structured to operate under the city of Denver’s lodging license framework, allowing it to function more like a boutique hotel concept at a larger scale while aligning with local regulations governing short term rentals.
One of the more unique offerings tied to the property is the option for guests to add a Tesla Cybertruck to their stay, reinforcing the project’s positioning as a high-end, experiential rental concept.
The ground floor has also been repositioned. Tapville Social has closed, and the space has been rebranded as Local 75, now operating as a private event venue that can be booked in tandem with the suites. This allows the building to support both overnight stays and larger hosted events within a single property.
As office demand continues to shift, 1010 Park Ave reflects a broader trend of adaptive reuse in downtown Denver, where developers are testing new hospitality-driven models to activate existing buildings.
