54 / BUILDING DIALOGUE / December 2020 I n the shadow of Empower Field at Mile High, where the urban core of downtown Denver meets the residential neighborhood of Jefferson Park, we’re building 1919 Mile High Apartments, a highly amenitized, 277-unit luxury building. Denver’s population is growing, especially downtown and in the surrounding neighborhoods, and the Jeffer- son Park neighborhood northwest of downtown is un- dergoing a transformation. It’s emerg- ing with young families, walkability, grocers, great access to the downtown core and excellent multimodal trans- portation options. 1919 Mile High Apartments will offer studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom units and top-of-the-mar- ket amenities, including two clubrooms; a two-level fitness center with outdoor ac- cess, a yoga studio, free weights and Cross- Fit options; a golf simulator and game room; and work-from-home stations. The 12th-floor clubroom will offer views of the mountains, downtown Denver and Mile High Stadium, and the fourth-floor clubroom will open to an outdoor deck with a kitchen and grill- ing area, a lap pool and a hot tub. The pool will be south facing to maximize sun exposure, allowing residents to really soak up some Vitamin D. We began construction in March, just as the pandemic shut down most workplaces and many began working from home. At the time, we were anticipating a short- term event, not a prolonged lifestyle change. We know the pandemic is altering the nature of living.
