Viña Apartments

Viña is an affordable housing development in the Elyria-Swansea neighborhood north of downtown Denver. This first phase of development focused on providing truly affordable housing, a local clinic and a grocery store for this underserved community. A central courtyard amenity was designed to accommodate both residents of Viña and the clinic next door. This colorful space features play elements, an open lawn, and a gathering space with outdoor grills, seating and a fire pit. The vibrant community features art in many forms, including a sculptural light feature at the entrance to the community courtyard, brightly colored site furnishings, lush plantings and custom murals. Future phases of development will focus on additional multifamily and senior housing opportunities, mixed-use, parking, office and retail.
