DESCRIPTION
The mixed-use Montbello FreshLo building redevelops an infill 1.6 acre former RTD bus storage site, that is adjacent to commercial, residential, healthcare and open space uses. The 7-story structure consists of 5 levels of 97 units of family affordable housing.
The above dynamic program engages NE Denver’s Montbello community on many important fronts providing for a series of community-oriented spaces for gatherings, meetings, pop-up retail, and community offices; as well as a critical local need for affordable family housing. Montbello FreshLo is designed to achieve not just multiple community benefits, but also achieve a National Green Building Standard Silver Rating with a full focus on Health and Wellness.
The $40,000,000 Montbello FreshLo project financing synthesizes Low Income Housing Tax Credits with New Market Tax Credits in concert with local City of Denver funding. This project is a partnership between Roybal Architects and VMWP, collaborating with the client team of the Montbello Organizing Committee and Burgess Services.This project is a partnership between Roybal Architects and VMWP, collaborating with the client team of the Montbello Organizing Committee and Burgess Services.
