ARA, A Newmark Company (ARA Newmark) announced the sale of an approximately 8.04-acre development site today to The Wolff Company at 7338 S. Havana Street in Centennial, Colorado. The site is the future home of Elevate, a high-quality, garden-style apartment community. At build up, the development will consist of 285 units spread across ten apartment buildings as well as a dedicated clubhouse. The property will feature one, two and three-bedroom floor plans with a mix of private garages and tuck-under parking. Construction of Elevate at INOVA will begin in September 2015 and is estimated to last 18 months.
Denver-based Executive Managing Directors for ARA Newmark’s Land Services team, Chris Cowan and Steve O’Dell, served as lead advisors to the seller in marketing the development site. “Wolff understood this submarket’s strong fundamentals,” stated O’Dell. “With record-breaking rent growth, low vacancy and Denver’s booming in-migration, Elevate will be a welcome addition to the Denver Tech Center.”
The site was purchased from Principal Real Estate Investors and United Properties, joint-venture partners who own INOVA Dry Creek, the Southeast Suburban submarket’s new mixed-use office and residential campus. INOVA, a shortened name for innovative, will offer nearly 695,000 square feet of office, industrial and multihousing uses. A revitalization of Dry Creek Corporate Center, INOVA amenities will include a campus with dedicated areas for biking, lockers, showers, a bike repair area and rentals, premium finishes, expanded parking, on-site restaurant space and a food truck court.
The area offers the perfect balance of livability and access. Elevate’s proximity to the light rail and easy access to I-25 make it ideal for professionals working downtown, in Colorado Springs, the Tech Center or the adjacent INOVA Dry Creek business campus. The property is also adjacent to Topgolf, a premier golf entertainment complex opening in August 2015, and minutes from the Centennial Airport. The Wolff Company has been active in the Centennial area for a considerable period and has recently completed nearby Capstone at Vallagio.
Nate Carlson, vice president of development for The Wolff Company, stated, “Elevate’s high-quality apartments have striking architecture and will offer residents amazing views. We believe that Elevate will be a meaningful contribution to the local community.”
“For people who work at the INOVA Dry Creek business campus or at the nearby Tech Center, Elevate offers convenient, high-quality living. It’s beautiful and quiet design will provide residents an oasis from which they can soak in the amazing views afforded by the site’s topography,” added Carlson.
