What’s Going On Here?
By Rory Seeber, Neighborhood LifeTalus Development, which has built the 25th Ave. Lofts and the recently-completed Stout St. Townhomes (covered here in May),continues to make its mark on the near-northeast neighborhoods. The builders have three new projects underway locally: Urbans@Glenarm, Urbans@Curtis, and Urbans@Stout. The undertakings demonstrate the development community's continuing faith in the future of luxury projects, with almost all of the residences covered here priced at over a half-million dollars each. Three long-abandoned houses on Curtis and one small house on Stout were razed for the residences. The Glenarm site was a vacant lot. All three are high-end townhome projects. The Glenarm development is at 24th and Glenarm, the Curtis construction is at 2312 Curtis, and Urbans@Stout will be built at 28th and Stout. All of them are being "built green" to save energy and will have three levels, rooftop decks attached two-car garages, and designer finishes. The Stout townhomes will be the smallest of the collection, averaging 2,300 square feet and composed of a three-bed, three-bath configuration. Both the Curtis and Glenarm projects' residences will range from 2,300 to 2,700 sf and will have three-bed, four-bath floor plans. All of the locations will have the garage and a bedroom/study and bath on the ground level, but the Curtis townhomes also have a 900 sf office/flex space there as well. The second floor of the projects contain a dining room, living room, kitchen, bathroom and balcony in an open floor plan. The master bed with five-piece bathroom and the remaining bedrooms and another bath will occupy the third level. The rooftop decks for all the townhomes will feature mountain and city views, outdoor/indoor fireplaces and hook-ups for a hot tub, if desired. The exteriors will differ slightly. The Glenarm and Stout projects will feature side-facing, gated stoops, no front yards, and small back yards. The Curtis residences will have front-facing stoops and small, gated front yards as well as larger fenced back yards with spiral steps down from a second-level deck. The facades on the projects are similar, with slight variations in color. All will feature a mix of cedar siding, masonry and stucco. Pre-construction prices for Urbans@Stout begin at $485,000, Urbans@Glenarm at $545,000, and those for Urbans@Curtis occupy the high ground, starting at $695,000. The residences on Glenarm are the furthest along in construction and are in the framing stage. The structure on Stout has just been begun and that on Curtis is still being surveyed. The Glenarm and Stout projects are to be completed by March. Curtis hasn't yet begun construction and should be finished next summer.
