Building History
1075 Park Avenue West has seen it all. Built in 1923 as a bustling U.S. Post Office garage, the building quickly became a cornerstone of Denver’s industrial scene. From the 1950s through the 1980s, it thrived as a tire and auto shop before leveling up to an automotive showroom for Weisco Motorcars—a legacy marked by its iconic signage that lingered for years as a nod to the building’s automotive roots.
In its next act, the space took a creative turn. Rebranded as Junction Box, it became home to Wonderbound, a cutting-edge contemporary ballet company where art, movement, and community converged under one roof.
Enter Asterisk—where history meets modern elegance. Thoughtfully restored and meticulously reimagined, Asterisk has preserved the building’s historic integrity while transforming it into a versatile, state-of-the-art event venue. Now, it’s not just a piece of Denver’s past—it’s a stage for the next 100 years of unforgettable moments.
Area
Asterisk enjoys a premium downtown address at the corner of Park Avenue and Broadway, surrounded by some of Denver’s most vibrant and diverse culture. Situated at the confluence of the Curtis Park, River North, and Ballpark neighborhoods, Asterisk is just an easy stroll away from Union Station, Central Market, Coors Field, and multiple award-winning breweries, distilleries, restaurants, galleries, and boutique hotels. Just to our south is the Central Business District, with nearly limitless accommodations to suit everyone’s tastes.
Curtis Park: Our neighborhood is Denver’s oldest. Go for a walk and enjoy the nearly 500 architecturally significant late 19th Century homes nestled amongst mature trees.
River North & Ballpark: Our neighbors to the north and west were once hardscrabble industrial blocks of foundries and warehouses built along the Platte River and Union Pacific Railway. Abandoned for decades, they’re now widely recognized as Denver’s most eclectic, artistic, and vibrant neighborhoods. Ballpark is where you’ll find Coors Field, surrounded by dozens of popular restaurants and tap houses. The River North Arts District – or “RiNo” – is home to one of the largest concentrations of microbreweries in the country (not to mention all the distilleries, cideries, and urban wineries). Stroll around to take in some of the murals, art galleries and studios, boutique shops, and coffeehouses, and you’ll see why Travel + Leisure magazine recently called this area “the two-block stretch in Denver that you have to visit.”
Central Business District: To our immediate south lies Denver’s primary region for business and tourism, offering access to thousands of hotel rooms and some of the region’s finest entertainment.
Meaning Behind Asterisk – More Than Just A Name
Look down from above, and you’ll see why we’re called Asterisk—our venue sits at the unique, star-like intersection of Park Avenue, Broadway, and Arapahoe Streets. Our logo isn’t just a design—it’s a map, a symbol of connection and possibility.
The asterisk is more than a mark on a page — it’s a quiet invitation to discover more. It signals that there’s something extra, something hidden beneath the surface, waiting to be explored. That’s exactly what Asterisk embodies: more creativity, more connection, more unforgettable experiences beyond the first impression.
At its core, the asterisk represents the meeting of three lines — a symbol of unity and convergence. Just like those lines, Asterisk exists to bring people together – for celebration, inspiration, and the joy of shared moments. Whether it’s a wedding, a gala, or a creative gathering, Asterisk is where people and ideas connect to create something extraordinary.
