Peter Kudla is a visionary developer who is behind Vallagio at Inverness, Colorado, and the “midtown” concept in Denver. Peter’s passion and energy about his vision is contagious. It is impossible not notice this just by walking through his latest development, named Vallagio. Vallagio is a mixed use TOD development. The development has a main street, with retail on ground floor and condominiums above. Next to the main street are row homes and golf villas with a view of the Inverness golf course.
Peter is very keen about a new concept of a midtown for Denver area. He identifies a midtown as a place between a downtown (Downtown Denver) and suburbia (Highlands Ranch, Colorado). This area has a light rail that brings transportation alternatives to residences and has started to effect density in nearby areas. Still, the area is not as dense as downtown. Midtown is large enough that it spans over several small cities. However, these cities have their own brand and identities that they are hesitant to lose.
