Consilium Design creates an award-winning
design: Malbec at Vallagio in Centennial
M albec at Vallagio is a transit-oriented, multifamily residential development
in Centennial. The neighborhood was designed for Metropolitan Homes and
subsequently sold to Lennar Multifamily. The site is focused around a club-
house amenity area featuring a pool with a fountain, fire-pit and a barbecue area. The
fountain was designed to be visible from the clubhouse entry corridor to appeal to fu-
ture residents as well as current residents. Strong landscape focal points were placed
in key visual areas to create street appeal and on-site appeal.
Villagio has been voted Denver’s Neighborhood of the Year and is a premier “live,
work, play” TOD community. Malbec is the last phase of the project and is slated for
completion this spring.

Johnson Nathan Strohe, Alliance Con-
struction team on Hilton Garden Inn
A lliance Construction recently started construction on the new 12-story high-
rise Hilton Garden Inn Union Station, located at 1999 Chestnut Place in Cen-
tral Platte Valley. Johnson Nathan Strohe’s design for the hotel captures the
history and movement of the neighborhood, while celebrating a new era of economic
development. The hotel features a glass and plaster tower anchored by the masonry of
the Historic Hose Company No. 1, which was built in 1883 for Denver’s then-volunteer
fire department.
Johnson Nathan Strohe is working with Boss Architecture to redesign the Historic
Hose Company No. 1 into a feature restaurant, with approval from the Denver Landmark
Preservation Commission.
The hotel, developed by Focus Property Group, will offer 233 guest rooms with 6,300
sf of ballroom and meeting space and 164 underground parking stalls. The hotel is
expected to open in early 2019.

OZ Architecture designs exterior for
Loveland post-acute care property
H ospitality-focused post-acute property, The Suites Loveland, opened last
month near the Medical Center of the Rockies at Centerra in Loveland. One
of the largest developers of health care properties in the country, Mainstreet,
creates warm and welcoming environments for short-term rehabilitation patients pro-
gressing from the hospital to home. Mainstreet selected award-winning national archi-
tecture and design firm OZ Architecture to complete the exterior design of the 70-bed,
50,000-square-foot property.
OZ Architecture’s design reflects the building’s Northern Colorado surroundings and
stunning natural backdrop of the Rocky Mountains and Long’s Peak. The design will
complement this natural aesthetic with the material use of stone, fiber cement siding
and panels, and warm earth tone finishes.
With its accessible location and proximity to the medical center, this property will of-
fer care and respite for recovering patients, as well as easy access to follow-up medical
care.
C onstruction continues at The Retreat at Sunny Vista, an Assisted Living and
Memory Care Community designed by Lantz-Boggio Architects. The building’s
architectural character utilizes Mid-Century Modern design elements. The
55,050-sf, resort-style facility has suites for 32 memory care and 38 assisted living
residents along with generous amenity spaces including: bistro and fine dining; fitness
gym; wellness; and enrichment and activity spaces. Strategically situated on a hilltop
in Colorado Springs, the community takes advantage of panoramic mountain views.
Pinkard Construction is scheduled to finish construction in the fall.
