One of the in recent years, the 206-unit Lakehouse project celebrated its start of construction Wednesday. The development is on schedule for a fall 2019 opening, said Brian Levitt, president of NAVA Real Estate Development.
“It’s no longer a plan. It’s no longer paper,” NAVA CEO Trevor Hines said during Wednesday’s groundbreaking. “Lakehouse is going to be a place that’s unlike anything else available in Denver today.”
Condos at Lakehouse will range in size from 675 square feet to 2,285 square feet, with 1-, 2,- and 3-bedroom floorplans available. Street-level rowhomes along 17th and Stuart streets range from 1,300 square feet to 2,473 square feet.
Sales on the project, which is part of the , began last summer. Units start under $500,000 and go up to $2 million.
Resident amenities at Lakehouse will include a 7,000-square-foot wellness center; outdoor pool, hot tub and “mist lounge” overlooking the lake; organic urban farm and produce program; juice bar; sauna and yoga studio. The project is seeking WELL certification, a third-party building standard focused on resident health and wellness through “air, water, nourishment, light, fitness, comfort and mind.”
What Lakehouse won’t include is income-restricted affordable units. Instead, NAVA is making a direct donation to Habitat for Humanity to cover the cost of building four 4-bedroom homes elsewhere in Denver, Levitt said.
The firm also is helping to subsidize the affordable rental housing that will be built at Sloans, he said. All full build-out, , officials have said.
