Sage Corner is a 43 unit, three story walk-up apartment building. This project is on an urban-infill site providing affordable housing for families near the heart of the City of Lakewood. This project offers the only affordable housing within a 2-mile radius at the time of construction. The project offers rent pricing based on 30% - 60% AMI helping to bridge the housing gap and provide a diverse and vibrant community. 

​

Sage Corner is in a phenomenal location with parks, schools, recreation centers, transit, and shopping centers. With great amenities nearby, this project has a strong family orientation with an abundance of 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom unit types. Sage Corner offers an elegant and efficient design on a compact site providing additional outdoor amenity spaces like a landscaped plaza with BBQ grill, children’s playground, community gardens, and covered and secured bicycle storage. The project also includes a large solar array on the roof providing sustainable energy and lower tenant utility bills. The project also boasts indoor amenities with a large community space, kitchenette, and management offices adjacent to the outdoor plaza and playground allowing the space to feel open to the outdoors. 

​

The aesthetic of this building fits well within the neighborhood with timeless materials like brick, wood-look cementitious siding, and metal panels. The north facade runs parallel to Jewell Avenue and provides sweeping views of Kendrick Lake Park across the street and the north-west front range mountains and north-east towards the Denver skyline. The north-facing level 1 units offer front porches with access directly outside providing a quick walk to Kendrick Lake Park. The units are designed to be bright, open, and efficiently laid out. With a higher concentration of 2-bedroom and 3-bedroom units, this project offers large kitchens that open directly to the dining and living rooms with large windows. The project provides ground-floor accessible units meeting FHA requirements.
