Providing Homes, Creating Community, Changing Lives

Boulder Housing Partners Opens Palo Park - New Affordable Community Appealing to Area Workers

Boulder Housing Partners (BHP) opens their newest affordable residential community at 4525 Palo Parkway.

“Palo Park is a high quality, sustainable community carefully designed to fit the context of the surrounding area,” said Jeremy Durham, executive director of BHP.  “It also provides much-needed homes for people who work in Boulder.” There is already a waiting list of more than 275 interested tenants.    

The 3.2-acre Palo Park community includes 35 one, two and three-bedroom apartments and nine for-sale townhomes in nine buildings.

Monthly rents for the apartments are affordable to residents earning 30 to 60 percent of area median income, or a household income of $26,520 to $53,040 for a family of three. This is attainable to many workers in the education, healthcare, retail, arts, recreation and hospitality sectors, according to the Community Foundation of Boulder County.

Apartment homes are highly energy-efficient, with energy costs offset by an 89 Kw solar system. The development meets or exceeds Boulder and Enterprise Green Communities requirements.

Palo Park amenities include a new playground, community gardens, covered bicycle parking and connections to nearby trails and open space. A community center will offer a variety of programs and workshops. As part of its transportation demand management strategy, BHP is providing 5-year Neighborhood EcoPasses for all residents and is funding improvements to a nearby transit stop.

New resident Mckynzi Bohnen and her daughter had spent the last year sharing a room in her mother’s home before being randomly chosen in a lottery for an apartment at Palo Park.

“I am so grateful and excited…the BHP team has gone above and beyond,” she said.  The home provides everything she needs, she said, including a charging station for her electric car.

Financing for the $13 million apartment development came from FirstBank, Colorado Housing and Finance Authority, Colorado Division of Housing, Boulder County and the City of Boulder. The development team included: Denueve Construction, Studio Architecture, Outside LA (landscape design), WSP (sustainability consultation) and Scott, Cox & Associates (civil engineering).

Flatirons Habitat for Humanity will break ground on nine additional for-sale townhomes this summer. The three-bedroom homes will be priced for household incomes between 60 and 80 percent of area median income, with an average sales price of approximately $155,000.
