What Makes Loretto Heights Different?
In 1864, three Sisters of Loretto traveled to Colorado during the Gold Rush to bring education to girls on the frontier. By 1891 they had built an iconic red sandstone landmark designed by Frank Edbrooke — the architect behind the Brown Palace Hotel. That legacy of purpose and community still shapes this hilltop neighborhood today, and Thrive Home Builders is proud to be part of its next chapter.
