The former 13-story hotel that sits just north of Sports Authority Field at Mile High, is being converted into Turntable Studios, Denver’s first micro-apartment community. Denver-based JG Johnson is the project architect, I-Kota is the general contractor and The Nichols Partnership is the developer.

“While Denver has consistently been ranked as one of the top destination cities for Millennials since 2009, we have a disconnect with housing affordability for these young professionals,” said Randy Nichols, principal at The Nichols Partnership. “We intend to change that at Turntable Studios with our efficiently designed studio apartments that will rent for less than $1,000/month.”
The building was constructed in 1967 and renovations began last October. Turntable Studios is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2015. Once completed Turntable Studios will feature 179 units with built-in components to maximize space. Studios begin at $880 a month. Denver-based Boutique Apartments will manage this residence. There will be 168 studios at 330 square feet, four one bedrooms at 685 square feet and seven two bedrooms at 820 square feet. Personal storage units will be available on-site as well.
Amenities for this development will include:
- A swimming pool
- Exercise facility
- A penthouse lounge with views of the Mile High City
- An on-site car sharing program for tenants
- Bicycle storage
“Turntable Studios is perfectly located to access Lodo, Highlands, Platte Valley and the Platte River/Cherry Creek bike trails.Proximity to the Sports Authority Field at Mile High light rail station and immediate access to I-25 conveniently connect Turntable Studios to everything Denver has to offer,” stated Nichols. “To be able to experience all of this for under $1000 per month is an irreplaceable opportunity.”

I guess what makes this a micro-apartments community is simply the fact that most of the units are studios. Other than that, I don’t see what’s “micro” about it. A 330-square-foot studio, 685-square-foot one-bedroom, or 820-square-foot two-bedroom sound like totally normal sized apartments to me.
Freddie, I know what you are saying and you make a good point. There are lots of Cap Hill studios that fit the bill for “micro” and they have been around for 80-90 years. 168 studios in a converted hotel is a unique project for Denver.
