Innovative and experienced industry leader in sustainable urban development.

Situated in the heart of the nation's most ambitious multi-modal transportation hubs, Cadence™ Apartments offers the best in LEED-certified, urban development.  Construction of Cadence begins in the first quarter of 2012.  Literally 100 feet from two sets of commuter rail lines - including a new rail line to Denver International Airport - Cadence will cater to residents who expect the intersection of service, sustainability and access, all in Denver's newest and most-talked about Union Station neighborhood.  Cadence will likely achieve energy savings approaching 70 percent compared to EPA apartment averages.

With the development of 2020 Lawrence, Zocalo continues to lead the industry in sustainable urban living. The LEED®-Gold registered, high-rise project features a 50-kilowatt, rooftop solar array that powers a high-efficiency VRF heating system; innovative, non-potable landscape irrigation systems, and the highest quality, sustainable finishes. The project broke ground in 2011 and will be home to residents in December 2012.  The project's energy use is expected to be 65 percent less than EPA averages for apartments.

Solera became the Rocky Mountain region's first LEED-Gold Certified high-rise apartment building.  Among its many accolades, Solera was selected winner of the 2010 University of Denver Burns School of Real estate “Project of the Year” award and, in October 2011 made headlines for achieving a record-breaking per-unit and per-foot sales price for the state of Colorado.  The project's many successes and firsts are a testament to Zocalo's thoughtful approach to design, development and management.  Solera achieved total energy savings of 60 percent compared to EPA apartment averages and nearly 40 percent when compared to a comparable, code-built apartment in downtown Denver.  The project exceeded 90-percent occupancy in under a year, achieving among the highest rents and most satisfied residents in downtown Denver.

RiverClay represents the Rocky Mountain region's first LEED-certified multi-family project.  It delivered one of the largest photovoltaic arrays in Denver at the time, offering enough power to light and cool nearly 80 percent of common areas and parking. Based on actual utility data, the typical residence has proven to be 60 percent more energy efficient than a comparable non-LEED residence.  With some of the largest balconies in central Denver, they serve as a wonderful amenity and solar shade, reducing summer cooling requirements. The project won the 2008 University of Denver Burns School of Real Estate “Project of the Year,” and won recognition from the Environmental Defense Fund for providing one of the 15 best "Green Business Ideas" of 2008.  Despite one of the most challenging environments for condo sales in history, the project sold out in early 2009.

Until recently, Jefferson Park was an overlooked, underutilized neighborhood less than a mile from downtown Denver. To spark reinvestment, the neighborhood and the City of Denver sponsored a competition for proposals to redevelop the site of an vacant police station into a new, mixed-use project.  Zocalo was selected from among eight competitors.  Zocalo's success as both a real estate and community development catalyst spawned a set of projects, one of which, RiverClay, became Zocalo's encore project in Jefferson Park.  The project sold out even prior to receiving a final Certificate of Occupancy.

Designed as an affordably priced project, Jewell Townhomes maximized efficiency through the use of offsite, modular construction. In addition to the five townhomes originally constructed, Zocalo designed and master-planned 27 additional units for the adjoining land, which were later built by Habitat for Humanity.
