Multidisciplinary design firm Cushing Terrell, Palace Construction, IMEG Corp., and Terracon Consultants have cut the ribbon for the new Catholic Charities Housing-funded, four-story All Saints senior affordable housing development.
Designed for efficiency, affordability, and well-being, the new community maximizes unit count while ensuring individual living spaces retain views and ample daylight. Holistic resident health is further supported through common gathering spaces, counseling rooms, bike storage, and access to public transportation.
With developable land growing scarce in the Denver metro area, All Saints represents a growing trend of partnerships between public, private, and nonprofits/faith-based groups, offering a replicable model for future affordable housing developments. All Saints will exclusively serve residents earning below 60% of Area Median Income (AMI), directly addressing growing demand among some of the city’s most vulnerable residents.
“Working toward a Denver where everyone can afford to live means not leaving anyone behind, least of all those who have long called our city home,” said Denver Mayor Mike Johnston. “We’re proud to support projects like All Saints, which ensures seniors have a space that is not only affordable but beautiful and environmentally efficient.”
“This is important work we’re all doing for the people of the city of Denver, and Cushing Terrell is honored to be part of the team making it possible,” said Laura Dougherty, Cushing Terrell Denver Office Director. “It’s exciting to see the ribbon cut on the finished All Saints project, which has been a rewarding five-year partnership, helping to realize Monsignor Peter Quang Nguyen’s vision and meet a big community need.”
“The industry has been working to partner with local churches, turning unused land into community projects like affordable housing,” said Justin Raddatz, Vice President of Development for Catholic Charities Housing. ”The need for senior housing in Denver is critical, and the Archdiocese, Church of All Saints, and the City of Denver came together to make this a reality. With the help of Cushing Terrell and Palace Construction, this project shows what can be accomplished when public, private, and faith-based groups collaborate, and we hope it’s the first of many.”
“We’re delighted to be a part of another successful endeavor with Archdiocese Housing,” said Garth Geer, President of Palace Construction. ”The project is a great success, and I could not ask for a better team dynamic. The opportunities and services facilitated by All Saints are so important, and Palace is honored to do our part to provide safe and comfortable homes for residents.”
The project team is pursuing sustainable certification through the National Green Building Standard at the bronze level, which addresses energy, water, and resource efficiency as well as operations and quality of indoor environmental factors such as access to views and daylight, operable windows, and healthy materials.
