Fulenwider Family
L.C. Fulenwider, Fulenwider, Jr and Fulenwider III
Building on his experience in farming and irrigation, the entrepreneurial L. C. Fulenwider, Sr. and his brother founded Globe Investment Company in 1904 that focused on buying, selling, owning, and managing farm and ranch properties. In these early years, L. C. Fulenwider, Sr. helped write the Colorado Real Estate License Laws; many of these same laws are still on the books today. In 1930, the name was changed from Globe Investment Company to L. C. Fulenwider, Inc.
The company’s most lasting achievements are in the projects Fulenwider developed. In 1959, Fulenwider unveiled Denver’s first residential condominiums. Fulenwider followed up with Denver’s first high-rise condominium, as well as introducing the first ski resort condominiums in Aspen, Vail, and Breckenridge and, in the 1970s, led the development of Copper Mountain Ski Resort. Other notable projects were Greenwood Acres, now Greenwood Village, Polo Club North, Polo Field West, the Marriott Courtyard at DIA, Frontier Airlines Headquarters, the 25-story Chase Bank Building, and the 31-story Larimer Place Condominiums, both in downtown Denver and others.
Most notably, part of the 40,000 acres of land L. C. Fulenwider, Sr. assembled during the early 1900s has become the site of Denver International Airport.
