Located in our backyard in Golden Colorado, The Col is a planned 4-story Mixed-Use building with a secured underground parking garage for building tenants (174 spaces) as well as surface parking for commercial clients (76 spaces). The building houses units of 1-3 bedroom variety as well as indoor and outdoor amenity spaces available to tenants and commercial clients as well boasting a central courtyard which houses some of these amenities both public and private. The two commercial uses planned are a restaurant and cafe. Proposed on a currently vacant site by Confluence Companies, it is a project aimed to bring people who love outdoor recreation and activities closer to the front range.

With a planned 179 units and +/- 8,000 sf of commercial space, this building fulfills a need for housing and amenities in the ‘Corporate Center’ neighborhood. The building is located near the intersection of Colfax Ave and C-470 helping transition the Colfax corridor into a prominent pedestrian thoroughfare as City of Golden develops the pedestrian corridor. Planned amenities on site currently include fitness center, Rooftop Deck, Splash Pad, Dog Park, Community Gardens, and a large community courtyard with plenty of gathering and breakout space for larger community events.

The building is designed to fit into the corporate feel of the surrounding area. With elevations being comprised of brick and metal panel transitioning to the softer palette of fiber cement and stucco, we get a building that respects the surrounding neighborhood while still achieving a warm and inviting tone for the building’s residents. The exterior courtyard design lends itself to both public and private spaces delineating spaces with a diverse ground cover ranging from sod to crusher fines and hardscape. The Col is a great addition to the neighborhood providing much needed housing and amenities to the area.
