Project Overview
The building is designed to rise up to nine stories, varying in height between six, eight, and nine stories along its different frontages. Residential units will range from studios to three-bedroom layouts, including junior one-bedrooms and den configurations.
Ground-floor plans include 25,316 square feet of retail and dining, activating both Milwaukee Street and 3rd Avenue with storefronts, patios, and transparent facades. Above, residents will have access to two landscaped courtyards and private amenity spaces.
The development also provides 227 parking spaces, supplemented by 14 bike share stalls and 117 dedicated bicycle parking spots, reflecting the city’s push for multi-modal access in dense urban districts like Cherry Creek.
Design and Urban Standards
The project has been shaped by the Cherry Creek North Design Standards, which emphasize active street-level uses, transparency, and integration with the pedestrian environment. Landscaped courtyards and setbacks are incorporated to soften the building’s massing and create usable outdoor spaces for residents and visitors.
According to submitted plans, the total gross floor area is nearly 221,000 square feet for residential and commercial uses, expanding to nearly 230,000 square feet when parking is included.
