Urban Update

Real estate developer Todd Blue is giving downtown a cool new look

If Louisville Metro Mayor Jerry Abramson’s vision for the city could be embodied in just one person, it would likely be Todd Blue. Blue, 38, is young, hip, urban – and completely devoted to bringing that vibe to downtown. He also happens to be the co-founder, CEO and president of Cobalt Ventures, LLC, a development company based in Louisville.

Cobalt Ventures has been behind some of Louisville’s most unique properties since its founding in 1998. The Mercantile Gallery Lofts, Preston Pointe, Cobalt Marketplace, Cobalt 301 East Main, Cobalt Riverfront Properties and the new Iron Quarter project all have that Blue tinge.

Development officials in Abramson’s administration say the Cobalt projects not only are creating a buzz of excitement in Louisville, they’re catching the eye of their peers outside the state who see them as signs of growth in Kentucky’s biggest city.
