Colorado Coalition for the Homeless Begins Construction on New Supportive Housing Development in Globeville

The project will redevelop the former La Quinta hotel and Old West Pancake House property into a new transit-oriented housing community serving individuals exiting homelessness as well as households earning up to 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI).
Located near Downtown Denver, RiNo, Sunnyside, and the 41st & Fox RTD Station, the development is being designed with a strong emphasis on accessibility, transit connectivity, and supportive services. According to the Coalition, all residents will receive RTD EcoPasses and have access to nearby transit, grocery stores, retail, and the South Platte River Trail.
Designed by Davis Partnership Architects, the four-story project follows trauma-informed design principles and was shaped in part through input from Colorado Coalition for the Homeless clients. Plans call for 60 one-bedroom apartments featuring full kitchens, Energy Star appliances, open floor plans, and additional storage space. Shared amenities throughout the building are expected to include a community kitchen, computer lab, library, laundry lounge, bike storage, flexible indoor and outdoor gathering areas, and balconies on each residential level.

In addition to the housing itself, the Coalition plans to provide on-site supportive services aimed at helping residents maintain long-term housing stability. Services are expected to include mental and behavioral health counseling, addiction support, life skills training, financial literacy assistance, job readiness programs, crisis intervention, and case management.
The site has already played a significant role in the city’s homelessness response efforts over the past several years. According to the Coalition, the former hotel property was previously used during the COVID-19 pandemic as part of non-congregate shelter operations before later transitioning into recovery and transitional support services.
The development is being funded through a combination of federal and state housing tax credits, financing from Wells Fargo, and support from organizations including the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA), Denver’s Department of Housing Stability (HOST), Denver Housing Authority, Colorado Division of Housing, and additional federal and regional housing partners.
Alliance Construction Solutions is serving as the project’s general contractor. Demolition work officially began on May 18, with lease-ups for the new apartments currently anticipated to begin in 2027.
