Aria Denver. Northwest Denver's most exciting new development.

Aria Denver

Aria Denver is coming, have you heard of it yet? It isn't often that a groundbreaking for a new residential development attracts the attention of the Mayor and plenty of news coverage. But when a development is as unique and impactful as Aria will be, it's certainly understandable why it's getting noticed.

Aria Denver is the redevelopment of the 25 acre Marycrest campus in Northwest Denver on the corner of 53rd and Federal. The redevelopments vision is unique in that it intends to create a diverse, tight knit community with a sense of place that increases residents' health and the health of our environment. The development embraces the legacy of community improvement and environmental stewardship. This isn't going to be your standard collection of homes and apartments, it will be so much more.

The development team will be reaching out to potential residents who want to live green and to be engaged with their neighborhood, in close proximity to downtown Denver and Regis University. It is anticipated that this will be a multi-generational community that appeals to single person households, young couples just starting their careers or attending college, young families and empty nesters, all of who are seeking to live in a neighborhood that reflects sustainable values and creates a strong sense of community.

Aria will include green compact homes with shared outdoor amenities, close to jobs services and culture, at prices affordable to working families. Residents will enjoy a wide range of housing alternatives, including market rate and affordable for-sale townhomes; live/work lofts, cohousing units and condominiums, as well as for-lease apartments. Community gardens will add to the sense of community and enhance the idea of living locally. In addition to the residential uses, the redevelopment will include neighborhood serving retail near the corner of 52nd and Federal.
