A new project on Colfax is coming to the Uptown district.

Renaissance Uptown Lofts is a 5-story mixed-use project planned for the northwest corner of Colfax and Pearl featuring ground-floor retail and 98 residential units on four levels, broken down as follows: 92 one-bedroom, 3 two-bedroom, and 3 studio apartments. The project is being developed by the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless and will serve as new housing for lower-income persons and transitional housing for the formerly homeless. The project is modeled after CCH’s successful Renaissance Off Broadway project in the Arapahoe Square district and the Renaissance Riverfront Lofts project under construction in the River North district.

For much more information on the project, including an interesting description of how the façade of the small historic structure currently at the site will be incorporated into the project, please read this article by Vanessa Martin in the current issue of Life on Capitol Hill.

This is the image shown in Vanessa’s article. The project architect is Humphries Poli Architects.

Renaissance Uptown Lofts is located along a stretch of Colfax that has seen little investment in many decades. It’s nice seeing that trend is starting to change.
