Ex-mortuary space in Highland to become shops, restaurants27 Jan
We always love to hear about development that enhances a neighborhood. This new restaurant and retail development in Lower Highlands should just add to the already vibrant scene in LoHi.
Denver developer Paul Tamburello is starting the next phase of redevelopment of the old Olinger mortuary in Denver’s Lower Highland neighborhood.
Tamburello and partner Stephanie Garcia paid $2.1 million for the remainder of the Olinger mortuary complex at West 30th Avenue and Tejon Street, where they plan to build out space for restaurants and shops. Several years ago, Tamburello and Garcia redeveloped the portion of the complex where restaurants Lola and Vita are located.
Tamburello intends to create a plaza between the two buildings around the giant milk can housing Little Man Ice Cream. He envisions the complex as a gathering place for the neighborhood and intends to use the plaza space for live music, movies and other activities.
