Property Description
1245 E Colfax is a fully entitled, permit-ready mixed-use development setting a new standard for urban micro-living along one of Denver's most iconic corridors. This shovel-ready infill opportunity removes entitlement risk and offers a clear path to delivery.
The project includes 144 thoughtfully designed micro-apartments and approximately 6,000 SF of neighborhood-serving retail, combining new construction and adaptive reuse to create an activated, walkable residential environment.
Designed around efficiency, flexibility, and lifestyle, the micro-unit format delivers high-quality finishes and shared amenities that extend living space beyond the unit. Residences feature contemporary kitchens with full-size appliances, in-unit laundry, high ceilings, large windows, and durable finishes tailored for urban renters.
Lafayette Building (New Construction):
95 newly constructed micro-units over five residential levels plus a rooftop amenity deck. Highlights include modern layouts, exterior walk-up units along Lafayette Street, and ground-floor retail activating the streetscape. Amenities include co-working space, podcast studio, resident lounges, outdoor courtyard, and rooftop patio with city views.
Colfax Building (Adaptive Reuse):
Conversion of a 1962 office building into 49 micro-apartments with activated Colfax retail frontage, fitness center, secure bike storage, and direct engagement with Colfax pedestrian activity.
Retail is integrated across both buildings, supporting coffee, food, daily-needs retail, and neighborhood services. Mobility-forward design includes structured and surface parking, ADA-compliant and EV-ready stalls, extensive bike parking, and a transit-oriented Colfax location.
With entitlements secured, designs completed, and permits ready, 1245 E Colfax is a rare, non-speculative opportunity to deliver high-demand urban housing with minimal pre-development risk.

TESTIMONIALS
James
Travis Hightower is an exceptional real estate professional. I worked with him on the sale of my condo, and his professionalism, initiative, and attention to detail were outstanding from beginning to end. Travis took ownership of the entire process. He coordinated the contractors, got the property market-ready quickly, and produced a listing that stood well above the competition. The photography and presentation were first-class. He even took the initiative to meet with the HOA to better understand the property's finances, future plans, and implications for residents. The results spoke for themselves. Despite listing in December, we were under contract within a week and closed in less than a month. We also achieved an excellent price, particularly considering a condo one building over sold for approximately 11% less just a few months later. I was traveling internationally during much of the process, but Travis and his team made everything straightforward. Communication was consistently clear, responsiveness was excellent, and the closing team was equally professional and reasonable in its fees. Real estate is clearly more than a profession to Travis. He lives and breathes it, and that commitment shows in the quality of his work, the people he surrounds himself with, and the results he delivers. Beyond his professionalism, Travis is genuinely warm, personable, and a pleasure to work with. He has a way of making you feel at ease and that you're in good hands. I couldn't be happier with the experience and would recommend Travis without hesitation.
