Shea Properties has transformed a 124,000 square foot office building into 143 affordable apartment homes serving households earning 30% to 70% of the area's median income (AMI).

Denver's First Developer-Driven Residential Adaptive Reuse
Until now, Denver-area adaptive reuse residental projects have been led by government agencies and public housing authorities. However, Lofts on Monaco is breaking new ground as Denver's first private-sector adaptive reuse residental project, led by Shea Properties. This first in the market offers several advantages to future residents.
High End Design and Market-Rate Aesthetics
Private developers like Shea Properties also build luxury, market-rate communities. We bring that same eye for design, high-quality finishes, and modern aesthetics to our adaptive reuse projects. At Lofts on Monaco, you’re getting an affordable apartment home that looks and feels like a premium loft, featuring the same designer fixtures and thoughtful floor plans found in the city’s top-tier developments.
"Lofts on Monaco is a blueprint for the future of urban evolution in Denver. By choosing the path of adaptive reuse, we’ve taken a dormant, single-use office structure and transformed it into a modern residential community that bridges the gap between where people work and where they can afford to live. This project proves that with the right vision, we can preserve the character of our built environment while meeting the urgent needs of our workforce. When we opened the doors of Lofts on Monaco, we opened doors to opportunity, connectivity, and a high quality of life for our residents."
Innovation In Amenities
