Canyon Student Housing

Canyon Student Housing

  • Project Type: Multi Family
  • Location: Boulder, Colorado

Located on Canyon Boulevard near the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder and just downhill from the University of Colorado, this concept included 25 units of shared student housing offered by a private landlord. The apartments varied in size from four- to six-bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms, organized in three-story buildings around outdoor courtyards.

Design challenges included the site’s proximity to open space, existing vegetation, and floodplain constraints.

The concept was an exploration for a developer who wanted to evaluate the potential of a student rental housing project in the market and with the city of Boulder, particularly with this unit mix and development strategy. With a series of site analysis, zoning research, view studies, masterplan concept design, and meetings, Caddis helped the developer explore the highest and best uses, define pathways to entitlement, and eventually explain the concepts to investors and planning departments.
