What To Expect

The mall was designed by world renowned architecture, I. M. Pei, who also designed the Louvre Pyramid, in Paris France
Larimer Square
Take a leisurely stroll along what is considered one of the most important streets in Denver, and was recognized in 1971, as the first historic landmark.
