Focus Property Group and Ascent Living Communities are teaming up to bring a senior living community to Denver’s Hilltop neighborhood.
The project, which is yet to be named, will offer urban-style living on a 4.4-acre site at the corner of Hilly Street and Leetsdale Drive.
The property will have more than 200 apartments on three levels plus an underground garage. The apartments will be a mix of independent living apartments, assisted living suites and memory-care suites. The three floors of residences will be organized around three internal courtyards, and the building will be positioned along Leetsdale Drive. The courtyards will create a variety of activity choices and experiences, each with a unique set of amenities. A two-level courtyard will provide opportunities for strolls among rock formations and water features; and a more formally manicured courtyard will be equipped with lawn games and an amphitheater.
Residents also will have access to multiple recreational facilities, including a fitness and yoga center and a full aquatics center housing a lap pool, therapy pool, spa and a reverse-current resistance walking pool. Varied restaurant options also will be available, with a bistro offering chef-driven cuisine and al fresco dining with scenic views.
“It was important that this new community reflect the urban amenities and refined architecture that are characteristic of Hilltop,” says Josh Fine, executive vice president of Focus Property Group. “I live a few blocks away and our family has deep roots in the neighborhood, so we want this project to reflect all that is great about living in the area.”
Construction is expected to start in the first quarter of 2019, with initial move-ins planned for summer 2020. Hord Coplan Macht is designing the project.
