Avenue 8 Apartments

Multiple interlocking 1970’s apartment towers were first a nursing home, and then student housing. The surrounding a quiet central Denver neighborhood cheered when Zing and its development partner announced a total overhaul of the complex.

Skinned down to its concrete skeleton, the high-rise was reimagined into compact apartments with lots of attractive community amenities. Targeted to millennials, the new Avenue 8 features everything from an indoor dog park and a rooftop deck to a wine café and in-house fitness center.

Concrete interior walls made for excellent sound-reduction, but challenging space planning. Zing configured every unit for maximum storage, living space and appeal. The quirky nature of the original construction necessitated some 30 floor plans over 163 units.

As a development partner, Zing spearheaded:

  • Architectural design and engineering management (façade, unit designs, common areas, amenities)

  • Construction management

  • Entitlements

  • Community relations

  • Branding and marketing management

  • Interior design

The property has maintained 98% occupancy since lease up in 2014.
