Why LoDo has its own termite considerations
Built for loft/condo owners, small commercial property owners, and building managers in LoDo’s converted-warehouse stock.
LoDo’s building stock is almost entirely late-1800s brick and masonry warehouse construction, with the 23-block LoDo Historic District protecting 127 structures.
Most buildings have been converted over recent decades into residential lofts, restaurants, bars, and offices — there is very little traditional single-family wood-frame housing here.
The termite-risk angle is different from a typical residential neighborhood: exposure is in the heavy interior timber framing and roof structures common to old warehouse conversions, hidden behind brick exteriors.
A loft renovation or a building inspection can be the first time LoDo’s structural timber has been checked in decades — the risk here is aging interior wood framing behind brick, not yard-level soil contact.
