Things have really started rolling this summer at The Stasko Agency, particularly with one of our newest development clients, The Peloton.

When we first met Cindy from The Peloton, she struck us a great client to work with--organized, timely and ready to move forward. To our luck, the development itself shares these same great qualities! Fully funded upfront, the developer was able to create a succinct plan as to how each phase of this multi-million dollar community would play out. The first phase was completed in August of 2008, and is 60% sold out to date. This phase included 190 luxury condominium homes, an amenity rich community center, 4 retail spaces, 2 restaurant spaces and a dog park.

The Peloton is located off Arapahoe Avenue between 33rd and 38th Streets in Boulder, and has homes ranging from 750 sq. ft - 1,900 sq. ft. in the form of lofts and 1-, 2- and 3- bedroom floor plans. Expect prices between $289,000 - $849,000, with the penthouse coming in at $2.2M.

One of the most impressive buildings of The Peloton is its 22,000 sq. ft. Community Center which includes a 6,000 square-foot fitness club, 22-seat theatre with leather reclining seats, and a game room with billiards, shuffle table and flat-screen TVs. Residents can also enjoy Boulder’s only year-round rooftop swimming pool and heated deck which includes two hot tubs, bar-b-que grills and spectacular views of the Flatirons. (Sign US up!)

The Stasko Agency heads up to Boulder to see the development in person this week and we can't wait! For more information about The Peloton, be sure to check out their website at www.thepeloton.com.

Also, leave a comment if you know where the name "The Peloton" comes from. We promise a special treat to anyone who can give us the correct answer.

Since opening last December, Root Down has been a huge success, packing out the place daily and constantly staying in the press. We're happy to land new stories about this fun and funky restaurant and are always looking for new angles and attributes to point out. We were extremely pleased with a recent article by Dining Out which gave readers a taste of the crazy journey of Root Down, from construction to completion ("Flaming Hoops and Nouveau Nostalgia--Root Down blossoms against all odds"). We remember looking at the spot last summer and straining our eyes to imagine what it would eventually become. But over time (and with much hard work and inspiration), the old 1950s station took on Justin's unique vision and transformed into one of Denver's restaurant hotspots.

With the onset of incredible restaurants and venues such as Root Down, Highland itself has transformed into the place to be. Men's Journal recently named East Highland as one of "The Best Neighborhoods in America." (Of course we agree, but then again, we're pretty biased!) Root Down was dubbed "the city’s most interesting new restaurant" in the article, and was listed among some of our other favorites--Little Man Ice Cream, Lola, Vita--which help make this area so desirable.

We love seeing (and landing) great press for great places. Keep coming back to the blog to hear more stories about our amazing clients and all they are doing.

And if you haven't visited Highland or stopped by Root Down, let us know! We want you to be part of this ongoing story and see for yourself what all the hype is about.

Just because The Stasko Agency is a lady-driven company, it doesn't mean we're uninterested in the upkeep and maintenance of our cars! In fact, with summer roadtrips and multiple on-location client meetings right around the corner, we've been looking for a great place to take our Honda's to get prepped for the warmer weather. That's why we're so excited about our most recent client, Service Street.

Industry veteran Greg Sands and expert financier Bill Fagan hope to revolutionize the auto repair industry with a new concept which will not only attract the best technicians, but will also present a clean, quiet, and visually appealing facility.

Certainly service comes first when looking for a place to take your car. But it can be a daunting task to find a place you can trust for all your repair needs. And with most garages looking pretty much the same (box buildings with cars, parts, and tires outside), how do you choose one from the other? What we love about Service Street is that they promise top-notch service and set themselves apart with the design, cleanliness, and limited noise. The attention to detail (and lack of clutter) makes Service Street much more approachable.


As we've started working with this client, we've learned some valuable knowledge about the auto industry that would make life so much easier. Here's a little tip that might not have known about:

MYTH: You have to take your car back to the dealership for all repairs.

TRUTH: There are auto repair facilities that are certified and trained to handle repairs for all makes and models. Service Street employs ASE certified technicians who provide a fully comprehensive range of auto repair and maintenance services. If your dealership is closing, you should consider looking into nearby service stations, such as Service Street, that can take care of your needs.

Another perk of Service Street? They will come pick up your car and take it back to the garage, or they will take you to work after you drop your car off. Now that's customer service.

With The Stasko Agency's fair share of car troubles (broken air-conditioning and catalytic converter at the same time), it's nice to speak with people who are friendly and knowledgeable, who care about their environment and the surrounding retail developments, and who are extremely customer-centric.

What else do we appreciate? Service Street is open from 6am-8pm Monday through Friday and on Saturday from 7am-7pm. So if you can't pull yourself from work during the week, you have a full day on Saturday to get things done. And most repairs are completed within a day.

The first Service Street is located down in Parker, CO, but expect to see hundreds more sprouting up across the United States in the coming years.
