The Auraria Higher Education Center (AHEC), a state agency of Colorado, is working with a local developer, Columbia Ventures (CV), to bring a mixed-use development to a currently vacant parcel of land owned by AHEC. The housing portion of this project provides economic and social impact by building approximately 340 units of affordable housing, targeting 60%-120% AMI on the Auraria Campus, of which a portion will be master-leased for Faculty and Staff housing to assist with attraction and retention of talent for the three institutions that reside on the Auraria Campus (MSU-Denver, University of Colorado Denver and the Community College of Denver).
