7th and Grant, a 175-unit apartment project is planned to break ground in early 2016. The units will be housed in an 8-story building. This project will rise in Denver’s Capitol neighborhood at (you guessed it) 7th and Grant. A Trader Joe’s grocery store resides on the east side of the same block where 7th and Grant will take shape.

7th and Grant is being developed by Denver-based SmithJones Partners. Texas-based Ziegler Cooper Architects is the firm that designed this project.

The building will feature a pool, fitness room, and ground-floor space for retail or a restaurant.

A fence has encompassed the 7th and Grant site where several homes have sat vacant for over a year. The homes were most recently rented as office space for a variety of small businesses. These structures will be demolished in advance of construction.

Smith Jones has also developed the now complete 289-unit residential project at 360 S. Monroe in the Cherry Creek neighborhood of Denver.

7th and Grant will join a handful of other residential projects under construction in this part of Denver. The 6-story Speer Boulevard apartments is nearing completion at Grant Street and Speer Boulevard. Just a short distance away at 7th and Sherman is the 115-unit 7|S Denver Haus that is also under construction.

The 6-story MOTO apartment project recently opened at 8th and Sherman as well.

Denver Urban Review reached out to SmithJones Partners and they did not have anything additional to share other than available press materials.
