New 9-Story Affordable Housing Concept Planned at Colorado Station
The Regional Transportation District (RTD) is advancing plans for a new nine-story, 100% affordable housing project at 4301 East Evans Avenue, next to Colorado Station in southeast Denver. The development will transform RTD-owned land into a transit-oriented residential project, expanding income-restricted housing options along one of the city’s key light rail corridors.

The 225,000-square-foot building will include:
196 income-restricted apartment units
One- and two-bedroom floorplans
Ground-floor amenities
38 on-site parking spaces
100 secure bicycle storage spaces

Background and Timeline
The project is designed by Davis Partnership Architects and structured to serve households earning between 30 and 70 percent of the area median income (AMI). It marks a major addition to Denver’s transit-adjacent affordable housing stock and reflects the city’s broader efforts to integrate housing with public transportation hubs.
The development is currently under city review, with additional design refinements and approvals expected in the coming year.
