Planning is underway for the next phase of development at the TAXI campus in River North. Known as Redacted, the project will consist of two adjacent four-story buildings with a combined 194 units of rental housing.

The site for Redacted, outlined on the Google Earth aerial image below, is accessed by 31st Street and is located next to RTD’s under-construction North (N) commuter rail line and behind a large RTD maintenance facility. A future TAXI building will occupy the space between Redacted and 31st Street.

Redacted is intended to provide workforce housing for the neighborhood. Zeppelin is considering an innovative process by which employers lease blocks of apartments at market rate and then rent the homes to their employees at a discount. An August article in the Denver Business Journal gives some details on this idea. We will learn more about this concept as the Redacted project advances through the development process.

For now, we have this newly-updated rendering by Dynia Architects to share with you, thanks to Chris from Zeppelin Development.

It’s great to see the build-out of the TAXI campus continue, and its particularly exciting to see new ideas for how to address Denver’s housing affordability challenges.
