In 2011, ULC acquired a .96 acre property for $1.2 that eventually became home to Evans Station Lofts. Denver’s Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Fund financed the acquisition. At the present time, this was ULC’s fourth purchase using the TOD fund. The fund’s goal is to increase affordable housing along transit corridors. Evans Station Lofts sit adjacent to the Evans Light Rail Station, along RTD’s C and D lines.
ULC partnered with affordable housing developer Medici Consulting Group (MCG) who received low income housing tax credits to finance the development. Presently, the five-story development includes 50 units of affordable housing units and 7,100 square feet of commercial space. The workforce housing development opened in 2013.
