DHA Celebrates Grand Opening of Mariposa Development
Once little more than several blocks of deteriorating public housing, the new Mariposa District in Denver now boasts energy-efficient apartments and townhomes, a local café, computer center, youth music studio and fitness circuit—all a short walk from the 10th Avenue and Osage Street light rail station. The affordable, workforce and market rate apartments are 95% pre-leased.
On October 4, the Denver Housing Authority (DHA) celebrated the grand opening of this nationally recognized development. The event marks years of planning, hundreds of public meetings and work by many local design and development teams. U.S. Congresswoman Diana DeGette, Denver City Councilwoman Judy Montero and other officials joined in the program.
