ST. LOUIS – Gardner Capital, a St. Louis-based private equity firm specializing in affordable housing and solar development and investment, announced today that it has closed financing and will imminently begin construction on Alameda View Apartments – a future multifamily, affordable housing complex in Aurora, CO. Gardner Capital will finance the deal in partnership with Stratford Capital Group, Citigroup’s Community Development team, and Barings Multifamily Capital.
Alameda View Apartments is ideally located in the Centretech neighborhood, east of Aurora, directly adjacent to Delaney Community Farm (an affiliate of Denver Urban Gardens), which will provide apartment residents convenient access to fresh local produce. The building’s location is also near the 71-mile long High Line Canal Trail, and various bus stops are nearby, giving residents easy access to public transportation. The complex will consist of two connected, energy efficient four-story buildings with mainly red brick veneer, featuring one, two and three-bedroom apartments. In total, Alameda View Apartments will provide quality, affordable housing for 116 families in the Aurora area.
