Construction for the Mint Town Center, a 399-unit apartment project with space for retail is now under construction. The Mint Town Center is located at Roslyn and Syracuse Streets, 29^th Avenue and Martin Luther King Boulevard. The property is 5 acres in size.

Forest City, the master developer of the Stapleton redevelopment is developing this project. The Mint Town Center will feature a half-acre courtyard, swimming pool, rooftop deck, and a fitness center. 8,000 square-feet of retail space will be incorporated in the Mint Town Center.

Units will be available in studio, one, and two bedroom options.

The Stapleton development was once home to Denver’s Stapleton Airport which served air travelers until Denver International Airport opened in 1995. After Stapleton closed, it created 4,700 acres of development opportunity.

Stapleton was named as one of the 4 best-selling master planned communities in the nation in 2015 by John Burns Real Estate Consulting and Robert Charles Lesser & CO.

“Forest City’s Stapleton community is one of the most unique examples of adaptive reuse anywhere in the country. Today a classic neighborhood development theme characterized by parks, walking paths, tree-lined streets and architecturally diverse homes have proven just how successful the reinvention of the Stapleton International Airport has been,” said Kenneth S. Perlman, Principal for John Burns Real Estate Consulting. “Excellent execution by the developer, a strong Denver housing market in 2015 and a location that is within minutes of downtown are a great combination that helped Stapleton grow to 665 new home sales, a 31% increase over the year before. We expect even more growth at Stapleton in 2016 with the opening of commuter rail stations connecting Stapleton to downtown Denver and Denver International Airport.”

Once Stapleton is fully built-out it is expected to accommodate 30,000 residents in 12,000 homes.
