Renaissance Off Broadway Lofts 2135 Stout Street It was a historic moment when the 81-unit Renaissance Off Broadway Lofts opened in 2001; this was the fi rst new affordable-rental loft project in Denver history. (It even rated a Best New Lofts Property in that year’s Best of Denver issue.) The property is open both to people experiencing homelessness and those who work downtown and can’t afford more expensive options; it has a two-story parking garage for residents. Rents range from $500 to $900. Renaissance Stout Street Lofts 2180 Stout Street Near the Renaissance Off Broadway Lofts are the circa 2014 Stout Street Lofts, next to the Coalition’s Stout Street Health Center. These 78 units are either one- or two-bedroom apartments; residents have access to an underground parking garage. Renaissance Riverfront Lofts 3440 Park Avenue West The Riverfront Lofts have 100 one- and two- bedroom apartments that rent for between $345 and $875. The property is noteworthy for its sustainable aspects; the common areas are powered by photovoltaic panels, while low-volatile organic compounds were used for paint, sealants and carpeting. Upon opening in 2009, Riverfront Lofts promptly won multiple awards for the sustainability aspects of its construction. Renaissance Uptown Lofts 1509 Pearl Street Opened in 2010 just off Colfax Avenue, the Renaissance Uptown Lofts offer 98 af- fordable studio apartments and one- and two-bedroom apartments to people with a range of different incomes.

Rents range from $275 to $692. 10 Renaissance Downtown Lofts 2075 Broadway First welcoming residents in 2018, the Re- naissance Downtown Lofts include 101 units, the vast majority of which are one-bedroom, that cater to chronically homeless individu- als participating in the Denver Social Impact Bond program, during which private orga- nizations handed over millions of dollars to service providers to fund a supportive hous- ing initiative. The City of Denver promised to repay (and then some) the organizations if positive results were generated, which is exactly what happened. Fourteen of these units are ADA-compliant, while the rest can be brought up to ADA code. Renaissance West End Flats 1490 Zenobia Street The West End Flats, which opened in 2012 next to the West End Health Center, houses 101 one- and two-bedroom apartments that cater to individuals experiencing homeless- ness and low-income individuals and fami- lies.
