2024 ECONOMIC DIVERSITY SHOWCASE: COMMUNITY CATALYST
Best Practices for Building Thriving Mixed-Income Communities in Metro Denver
Bi-Monthly Sessions from JUNE to OCTOBER | 3:30 - 6:30 PM MT

 

Denver Housing Authority's (DHA) Sun Valley neighborhood redevelopment project has breathed new life into a once-distressed area, creating a vibrant mixed-income community with modern amenities and services. Among its latest additions are the GreenHaus and Thrive developments, representing the second phase of this transformative initiative. Thrive, with its focus on family-friendly living, offers a diverse range of unit sizes and features innovative design elements such as interconnected outdoor spaces and community hubs. Meanwhile, GreenHaus stands tall as an epitome of sustainable urban living, boasting eco-friendly features and ample community facilities. 

As part of NAIOP Colorado's Economic Diversity Showcase on June 12, attendees will have the opportunity to tour these innovative projects and the surrounding neighborhood amenities, which include a food incubator, community garden space, and hear plans for Fairview Elementary. Additionally, attendees will engage in a panel discussion with Sun Valley redevelopment partners, shedding light on their role in fostering economic diversity and community revitalization in Denver.

Participants will also learn about the next phase in this intentional master-planned community and explore opportunities for the commercial real estate industry to help drive future community developments.
