Baston-Cook Construction and Swinerton Builders ceremonially topped out SkyHouse Denver, a 354-unit luxury apartment building in the Uptown neighborhood. In February 2015, the development team of Novare Group, Simpson Housing and BastonCook Development Co. broke ground on the 26-floor apartment development at the corner of Broadway and 18th Avenue. SkyHouse Denver is slated for delivery in August with leasing opening this spring. “With this milestone, we are pleased to be that much closer to offering residents the opportunity to be among the first to live in this world-class building located in the heart of the Uptown neighborhood,” said Jim Borders, president, Novare Group. “Batson-Cook Construction and Swinerton Builders are working carefully and methodically to deliver a high quality high-rise community, and we are excited to celebrate the topping out with them and the highly skilled construction workers making this a reality.” SkyHouse Denver features a mix of apartments ranging from studio units to two-bedroom units with a den as well as 6,900 square feet of ground floor retail space. The top floor features a clubroom, swimming pool and fitness center. Designed for next-generation professionals opting to live in urban centers close to public transportation, employment centers and cultural institutions, apartments feature 9-foot ceilings with floor-to-ceiling glass, quartz countertops, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances and porcelain tile. The SkyHouse Denver also features vehicle charging stations, bike storage, bike maintenance areas, a dog walk area and a dog washing station. The building is being constructed to Energy Star standards. SkyHouse Denver is one of 17 SkyHouse-branded apartment communities in the United States.
