DENVER – Kentwood City Properties, one of three strategically located offices that comprise Kentwood Real Estate, has announced a partnership with Denver B-cycle, an organization that offers residents of and visitors to downtown Denver and surrounding neighborhoods an alternative form of public transportation. In addition to branded B-cycles and annual memberships for employees, Kentwood City Properties will also have the capabilities to utilize B-cycles when showing properties in downtown Denver and many the cities most historic and desirable neighborhoods.

Kentwood City Properties’ sponsorship support of Denver B-cycle arrives as the bike sharing system closes down for the winter in its inaugural season. Denver B-cycle will reopen in March 2011.

“We are thrilled to have created this partnership with Denver B-cycle,” said Dee Chirafisi, broker and founding partner of Kentwood City Properties. “Our employees, brokers and clients will have the opportunity to commute and see real estate on two wheels rather than four via a B-cycle. Our company is very supportive of the bike sharing program. We will be launching some fun events this coming spring in and around downtown, so watch for the Kentwood City Properties bikes on the streets.”

“We are excited that Kentwood City Properties stepped up to help support Denver B-cycle and biking,” said Parry Burnap, executive director of Denver Bike Sharing, the non-profit that owns and operates the Denver B-cycle system. “Not only are they a valuable sponsor, but they are also promoting an increase of daily activity, saving money and reducing unhealthy air toxics and carbon emissions.”

In addition to 20 branded B-cycles with the Kentwood logo on the baskets and memberships for Kentwood City’s staff, the two-year sponsorship includes 70 helmets for Kentwood employees, demo cards for Kentwood City’s brokers to use when showing properties, an online social media and newsletter listing, and more.
