As many of you may have already heard or noticed, yet another residential project has broken ground in the RiNo area. Since there have been bits and pieces of information regarding “RiNo Center”, it’s time to present a quick rundown on the highlights of the project. Located at 32nd and Brighton Boulevard, RiNo Center is the latest project in that part of town to throw up a chain link fence and start pushing around the fresh spring soil. The 4-story building will include 205 units and 262 parking spaces. Also notable, the development will include a clubhouse and a 15,000 square foot courtyard.

   

Though the project is located in a section of the city that most would consider cut-off, or lacking in amenities, future residents may beg to differ. Those new to RiNo Center may actually find that they have lifestyle options which are unavailable in most other neighborhoods throughout the city. As a TOD (Transit-oriented Development), RiNo Center will be within walking distance from a commuter rail stop, offering alternative transportation options for its residents. In addition, the one-of-a-kind urban market “The Source” will be literally next door to offer a variety of services sure to boost quality of life in the neighborhood.

Paired with Denargo Market a mile or so down the street, these projects are helping to form a critical mass northeast of downtown. As services, residences and support functions continue to fill into the neighborhood, it will only become more livable and energetic.
