About the Project

The development of 1601 Colorado Apartments was accomplished through a number of financing sources including tax-exempt bonds and Section 42 Low Income Housing Tax Credits. The project was envisioned to offer affordable housing with amenities comparable to high-end luxury rentals.

The Challenge

When Dominium took over this project, 1601 Colorado was only partially completed and much had been damaged by the elements when construction stalled. Dominium was able to rework the financing, and secure a new contractor to complete construction.

What We Did

With its new team in place, Dominium was able to move forward on the development. 1601 Colorado offers a total of 112 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments with great space and great features. The residents of 1601 Colorado enjoy underground parking and plenty of amenities including a community room, fitness center, and several outdoor seating areas.

Located just one block from Denver’s beautiful City Park, other community amenities include a business center, an indoor play area, and easy access to bike trails, walking paths, shopping, dining, and entertainment.

Each apartment home has updated kitchen appliances, beautiful cabinetry throughout, a stackable in-home washer and dryer and spacious bedrooms with large closets.
