Office Park to 278 Apartments in Lowry

The office-to-apartments Lowry concept calls for three-story walk-up buildings plus one five-story elevator building around a central pool deck, with a mixed-income unit strategy still being finalized. The project remains in Denver’s pre-application phase, with no rezoning or approvals granted yet.

The four-story building would wrap around a central parking court with pedestrian links into the park’s trail network.
