70-Unit Affordable Housing Project Planned for Tight Triangle Lot Near Coors Field
DENVER, CO – A new affordable housing development is moving into early review near Coors Field, with a concept plan submitted for a multi-family project at 602 West 29th Avenue.
The proposal calls for an 8-story residential building with 70 units on a uniquely shaped, 0.36-acre triangular site at the intersection of 29th Avenue and Fox Street. Plans indicate a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, all expected to be income-restricted housing, adding density in one of Denver’s most transit-accessible areas.
The building is designed to reach approximately 96 feet in height and deliver around 71,000 square feet of residential space, maximizing the constrained site footprint. Despite no minimum parking requirement in this zone, the project includes 15 structured parking spaces, along with bicycle parking and ground-floor residential amenities.

Built for a Constrained Site
Engineering plans show just how tight the site is. The property is expected to be nearly fully built out, with most of the lot covered by the building and hardscape.
The project will connect to existing utility infrastructure along 29th Avenue, with capacity available to support the development. Due to the small site size, the project is not required to include on-site stormwater detention systems, which are typically required for larger developments.
Early grading plans also show the building will be elevated above adjacent street levels to help protect against potential flooding.
A Growing Infill Trend
Located just northwest of downtown, the site sits within walking distance of Coors Field, Union Station, and multiple transit connections. While larger redevelopment sites continue to shape much of downtown’s growth, projects like this reflect a different trend.
Smaller, irregular parcels are increasingly being developed at higher densities to deliver housing in high-demand areas. As available land becomes more limited near the urban core, infill projects like this are becoming more common, particularly for affordable housing.
The project is currently in the concept review stage, marking the first step in Denver’s development process. Further revisions and approvals will be required before advancing.
Stay tuned as we continue tracking this project and more from around the Denver metro area.
