Located across Colfax from the Anschutz Medical Campus, the new development will include 370 residential apartments and ground-floor retail anchored by Queen City Collective Coffee

Aurora, CO (September 2024) – The development team of Uplands Real Estate Partners, The Max Collaborative, and Wynne Yasmer Real Estate (the same group behind the development of One River North) is pleased to announce the opening of The Broadleaf, a mixed-use residential development located within Fitzsimons Village, across from the Anschutz Medical Campus. The development includes 370 apartments and more than 9,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space lining the boulevard within the master-planned Village. Queen City Collective Coffee has signed on to operate a café space integrated within the residential lobby. Davis Partnership Architects is the architect for the project and JE Dunn is the general contractor. Kairoi Residential has been chosen to be the property manager.

The Broadleaf marks the second project opening this year for the development team in the greater Denver market. The partnership recently opened the iconic One River North project, a residential high rise in Denver’s River North Arts District (RiNo), which has garnered national attention for its unique architecture with a “canyon” traveling through its facade. Uplands Real Estate Partners and The Max Collaborative were both founded by members of the Ratner family, the founding family of Forest City Realty Trust, which led the transformative redevelopment of Denver’s old Stapleton International Airport. Wynne Yasmer Real Estate is a Denver-based developer whose principals, Brian Wynne and K.C. Yasmer, are both former Forest City executives.

“We’re thrilled to bring a boutique residential building with top-of-market amenities to the professionals who work and study at the Anschutz Medical Campus,” said Josh Hoffman, a principal with Uplands. “The medical campus is home to approximately 25,000 employees and more than 4,000 students, with a total of 55,000 people expected to be working or studying at the campus at full buildout. The Broadleaf will provide residents with a level of quality, design, and amenities not yet offered in proximity to the campus.”

The Broadleaf is located four blocks from the Colfax Light Rail Station, providing future residents with direct access to downtown Denver, Denver International Airport, and the southeast business corridor. The development features a robust amenity package including the only rooftop pool in the area with dramatic views of the mountain range, a state-of-the-art indoor / outdoor fitness center, coworking spaces, a pet spa, bike storage with workshop, a boutique coffee shop, and secure garage parking. A half-acre outdoor courtyard will provide an urban oasis with grills, picnic tables, lounge seating, lush landscaping, and outdoor lawns for yoga and exercise.

At seven stories, The Broadleaf is the tallest residential building in the submarket. It is the only residential building in the submarket constructed from light-gauge steel, providing superior acoustics and less sound between residences. The meticulously designed residences feature best-in-class finishes and offer one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments ranging in size from 500 square feet to 1,600 square feet.

The Broadleaf will offer second to none lifestyle amenities through vendor partnerships and the Kairoi Art of Neighboring. The community is also focused on a wellness theme.

One River North Team Celebrates Topping Out of Denver’s Next Iconic Building

/in /by

Special Submission

The development team for One River North recently celebrated the building’s topping out, traditionally held when reaching the top of a building’s structure during construction.  To celebrate the milestone, the team held a ceremony that allowed stakeholders to see the progress that has been made on what the team believes will be Denver’s next iconic structure.

The principal developers of One River North include The Max Collaborative, Uplands Real Estate Partners, Wynne Yasmer Real Estate and Zakhem Real Estate Group.  MAD and Davis Partnership are the lead architects for the project and Saunders is serving as the general contractor.  Kairoi Residential is the building’s property manager.

The community, located at 40th and Blake Streets in the River North Art District (RiNo), will include over 13,000 square feet of open-air amenity environments, including rippling water elements and a landscaped, trail-like walkway that traverses across four floors. Additionally, a nearly 7,000 square foot rooftop terrace, featuring a pool, spa and garden framed by dramatic Rocky Mountain views, will seamlessly blend the natural beauty at home with the landscape just beyond.  The building will feature 187, one- two- and three-bedroom residences ranging in size from 625 – 2,500 square feet (each will include a chef-caliber kitchen, floor-to-ceiling window, and some will undulate to match the curves of the canyon; some residences will also include private terraces); a fitness center and yoga studio that connects to the outdoor space with city and mountain views; a lounge with workspace areas and a pet spa; and nearly 8,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space. 

One of only two residential works in the United States designed by renowned MAD Architects, One River North is where a visionary ecosystem of well-being comes to life and a new era of well-balanced city living begins.

The defining characteristic of One River North is the 10-story landscaped canyon that is carved into the building’s 16-story façade. It undulates and flows, recalling the experience a person might have while climbing a mountain trail. Ascending from the base of the canyon to what is emblematic of a mountain plateau at the building’s summit, residents and guests of One River North will enjoy a slice of nature that has been blended into an urban landscape. Along the trail-like walkway, individuals will discover plant life and vegetation that is native to Colorado’s high plains climate, changing in shape, color and form with the changing seasons. Spaces will also be created where people can interact and gather in peaceful, idyllic settings.

“One River North pairs high rise residential living with the natural environment, bringing the inspiration of nature into our homes to create a unique experience coupled with modern comforts and conveniences,” said Kevin Ratner, co-founder of The Max Collaborative. “The nature-inspired design by MAD Architects was influenced by Colorado’s legendary landforms and merges nature and architecture to inspire a well-balanced life.”

The developers challenged the design and construction team to build a structure that would be iconic for Denver, not just at the rooftop, but from top to bottom. That challenge, combined with the vision of bringing nature into the city, was the inspiration for what will certainly become one of the most distinctive residential buildings in Colorado and throughout the nation.

The project broke ground in Fall 2021 and is slated for completion in late 2023. One River North anchors a new wave of taller buildings shaping a bold new vision for Denver’s art-influenced RiNo district.
