Luxury apartment communities may seem a dime a dozen these days in Denver, but SkyHouse Denver is betting one amenity will help it stand out.

The top floor of the 25-story tower at East 18th Avenue and Broadway isn’t carved up into penthouse units — it’s an indoor/outdoor rooftop lounge and deck open to all building residents, equipped with a resort-style outdoor pool, 24-hour fitness center, outdoor terrace with kitchen, grill and fireplace, a demonstration kitchen and multiple lounge areas to watch the big game or just hang out with friends.

“The entire building can enjoy this view,” community manager Carmen Miller said during a tour Wednesday. “It’s like everyone in the building gets to live in the penthouse.”

Developed on the site of the old Cosmopolitan Hotel by Atlanta-based Novare Group, Batson-Cook Development Company and Denver’s Simpson Housing, the apartment tower will welcome its first residents Nov. 1. Leasing has already begun on the 354 apartments, which range in size from studios to two-bedroom units.

Monthly rents start at $1,435 for a studio, $1,565 for one-bedroom and $2,355 for a two-bedroom. Standard amenities include floor-to-ceiling windows, hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, in-unit washer and dryer, quartz countertops and a private balcony.

About 7,000 square feet of street-level retail space is also in lease-up, Miller said. Stapleton-based SuperFruit Republic, which serves acai and pitaya bowls and smoothies, will open its second location in one of the spaces along Broadway, across from the Brown Palace Hotel. The other two storefronts should be leased by Jan. 1.

Miller expects apartment tenants to run the gamut — downtown office workers looking for a walkable commute, Denver newcomers who want to be centrally located, young and old. Most other new downtown apartments in recent years have been built near Denver Union Station and in the Golden Triangle.

“We’re so central,” Miller said. “There’s so much that’s close to us.”
