Some of the most interesting projects begin with an existing structure and a question: what should its next chapter be?

At 1101 University, a historic fraternity house adjacent to the University of Colorado Boulder campus was transformed into student housing as part of the ongoing revitalization of the University Hill District.

Rather than starting from the ground up, the project combined preservation, renovation and expansion to adapt the former Sigma Alpha Epsilon House for a new generation of residents. The result is 13 apartments that bring contemporary living amenities to a building with deep ties to the neighborhood's history.

As communities continue to evolve, adaptive reuse projects offer an opportunity to extend the life of existing buildings while responding to changing needs and expectations.

How do you create a better workplace without starting from scratch?

At Center Green Court, a strategic addition and renovation transformed two existing office buildings into a more connected, accessible and engaging environment for today's workforce.

The nearly 3,000-square-foot addition physically connects the buildings and introduces a new elevator that improves access throughout the facility.

The project also created new opportunities to connect with the outdoors, including a 1,500-square-foot balcony overlooking Boulder. Additional improvements, from updated site lighting and landscaping to façade enhancements, helped modernize the property while extending the life of the existing buildings.

Center Green Court demonstrates how thoughtful design can help existing assets evolve to meet changing needs while creating a stronger experience for the people who use them every day.

Access to quality senior housing plays a critical role in helping older adults maintain independence, connection and long-term quality of life all at once.

The Residences at Hoffman was designed to meet that need in Aurora through 85 affordable senior apartment homes paired with amenities that encourage both wellness and community. Outdoor gardens, shared gathering spaces, fitness amenities and in-unit laundry were all intentionally integrated to support residents in their daily lives.

Recognized with an Eagle Award from Housing Colorado, the project reflects how affordable senior housing can go beyond meeting a need and instead create a stronger sense of home and belonging.

Developed with TWG Development, Management and Construction.
