Fitzsimons Village is a high-density contemporary community located adjacent to the newly constructed Colfax RTD light rail, convenient to three hospitals and the University of Colorado Denver, making this an ideal community for employees, students and commuters. The community design is reflected in three distinct languages. The northern most corner is emphasized with façade material changes that clearly define the base, middle and top. The mix of high-quality cladding and double height glazing, and leasing center announce this location as the community’s front door. The white forms link the property from the north to the south, orienting pedestrians and directing them through the property. The southern end of the community abuts commercial property, which lead to a more urban design with a strong stone base and earth toned cement panels above. The courtyard and pool area are wrapped by residential units, providing privacy and protection from winds and inclement weather. Townhomes line the eastern edge of the community, stepping the scale to more appropriately address the single-family neighborhood to the east. This 363-unit community provides residents with a study lounge, clubhouse, fitness center, pool and roof terrace.
