Arcadia Properties, Inc. has invested in Denver's Historic Districts, and redeveloped many historic buildings. The home at 851 Leyden Street well represents the firm's investment values. Prior to purchase of the property by Arcadia, the historic Victorian home and outbuildings had seriously deteriorated, and faced an uncertain future.


The development plan here included complete building restoration, the razing of antiquated outbuildings, and the construction of three additional residences of compatible architectural style. The result was an economic success that led to significant additional reinvestment in the surrounding neighborhood.
