An undeveloped two-acre narrow stretch of land in downtown Fort Collins may soon be the site of a new 175-unit apartment complex.
The Irving, Texas-based Realty Capital Residential has announced it has now submitted paperwork to the City of Fort Collins to build the River District project.
Besides the 175 apartments, the complex will also include 2,300 square feet of commercial space made up of restaurants and stores, for an overall project dominated by two 5-story separate buildings.
According to city records, the project will include studio, and one- and two-bedroom units.
Designed by Davis Partnership Architects of Denver, the project will also have at least two clubhouses, and leasing and management office space.
The official address for what is being designated as an infill development is 360 Linden Street in a part of the city populated with restaurants, taverns, and offices.
A document sent to the City by the Fort Collins-based Ripley Design landscape engineering firm notes that development of the site will create a link to the nearby Cache La Poudre River with a “pedestrian-oriented street front and lively spaces.”
Realty Capital Residential was launched in 1987 and has since developed more than 200 residential projects both in Colorado and Texas. In the last decade, the company’s footprint in the Centennial State has grown with the development of workforce housing in the Roaring Fork Valley between Glenwood Springs and Aspen.
