“We couldn’t be more excited about the changes and additions on the Square,” said Joe Vostrejs, chief operating officer for Larimer Associates, the Denver-based real estate investment and management firm that operates Larimer Square.  “This success is due in part to staying true to our vision for Larimer Square – to create a true destination, featuring chef-driven restaurants and owner-operated businesses that boast regionally-exclusive, innovative and unique offerings.”

For the past ten years, Larimer Square, under the direction of Vostrejs and Jeff Hermanson, chief executive officer for Larimer Associates, has gone through a dramatic repositioning movement. More than 90 percent of the property has been leased to new merchants in that time frame that fit the vision of distinctive urban shopping and dining. Larimer Square currently has more than 100 tenants with 40 retail/restaurant merchants in that mix.
