Krisana Affordable Apartments

Developed in partnership with Kentro Group, Lexton McDermott, and Lewis Himes Associates, and located on former site of the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) headquarters in southeast Denver, the four-story, 162,000 square foot, $30 million complex features 151 units of deed-restricted, affordable housing.

Consisting of 21 studio, 71 one-bedroom, and 59 two-bedroom apartments, the apartments will be available to residents who earn up to 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI), with an upper limit of $49,260 in annual gross income for a single-person household or up to $70,320 for a four-person household. Amenities include Energy Star-rated appliances, central air conditioning, laundry facilities, a fitness center, courtyard, social room, and secured bike storage area.

Thanks in part to funding from the City and County of Denver through the New Building Electrification Pilot Program, a part of the Energize Denver Electrification Program, the Krisana Apartments are 100% electric-powered.

The project’s massive wood framing scope was self-performed by Pinkard Frameworks, which completed the project’s huge 120,000 SF wood framing scope in just 3.5 months.
