The Refractory

The Refractory is nestled in Denver's vibrant Santa Fe Arts District — a space dedicated to bending the rules of what an industrial property can be. Designed to serve artists, makers, and industrial tenants alike- built with a mission to foster community ties and cultivate an environment that champions creativity and collaboration within Denver's local artistic sphere. Rich in Denver history, the building originally served as a pickle production facility and has since undergone significant additions and major power upgrades. Today it has been fully transformed into a vibrant, all-electric community hub — a true adaptive reuse success story in the heart of the city. The building ground floor totals 56,160 SF on a 1.44-acre lot, constructed of reinforced concrete with a substantial 4,000-amp power supply and I-A zoning. It features 20-foot clear heights, 1 drive-in bay, 8 exterior dock doors, and 54 standard parking spaces. Recent capital improvements include all-new LED lighting, fire suppression, and a brand-new HVAC systems throughout.
