Martin Street Apartments

Initially envisioned as a complete redevelopment of a lot with a few near derelict structures, the project team found a way to provide for six new attainably priced townhomes to be constructed on the narrow lot, while also retaining the existing primary single-family home. Further investigation by the client led to the discovery that the house was eligible as a local landmark due to a connection with important events in the Hispanic community during the 1980’s, further incentivizing its rehabilitation. The site is ideally located just outside downtown Longmont, directly adjacent to a large city park, in an area of mixed residential uses. Multiple options for design were presented to surrounding property owners leading to buy-in from the neighborhood.
