possible. All stakeholders were heavily involved from the start. We

listened to their input and took major direction from it,” Joblon said.

“As a result, we didn’t have a single issue in the 16 months that wasn’t

successfully resolved.”

Project personnel’s high level of communication skills were also

internally critical. Several subcontracting firms are based outside Col-

orado, making Steele Creek their inaugural work in the state. Howev-

er, the team was in constant contact, across multiple time zones, and

many subcontractors, like the project architect, The Housing Studio

of Charlotte, N.C., were at the Steele Creek site several times a month.

Joblon said Steele Creek reflects the context of Cherry Creek while

being infused with creative insight from award-winning architectur-

al and design talent located outside Colorado.

“I believe Cherry Creek will become the next Beverly Hills of the

Midwest, without the pretentiousness. I see it as a community un-

like any other – 100 percent genuine luxury, Colorado-style. For Steele

Creek, I wanted to bring in firms with no preconceived notions, who

looked at the area as it can and will be, not as it has been for the past

30 years,” Joblon explained.

For example, Rottet Studio Inc., which created Steele Creek’s interior

spaces, is known for its work in some of the world’s finest hotels. A

recent project was the renovation of the presidential bungalows at

the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel.

“That’s how Steele Creek is designed – to offer a five-star hotel ex-

perience in a complex where apartments live like custom homes. The

cost per door is $400,000, which is the highest ever to be completed

in Denver,” Joblon said. “That speaks to the quality of finishes and

amenities we offer. Nothing has been sacrificed in the pursuit of per-

fection.”
