MOVING IN Lumina 3254 Navajo Street, Denver The owner’s interest in Middle Eastern art inspired the unique exterior screens which catch your eye when you first see Lumina. The west facing screens can be moved to allow more or less of the hot afternoon sun into the 2-bedroom apartments. A small overhead garage door can also be rolled up in the 2-bedrooms to let in fresh air and extend the living space out onto the balconies, which wrap the building. A distinctive feature is the enclosed 5-story atrium, lit by solar light tubes and interesting round windows in the ceiling. Together, these invite in abundant natural light, which filters into individual apartment homes via glass block windows. Several fluorescent signs from the former Pagliaccis restaurant add character and color to the crisp, white interior spaces. The property is one of a kind jewel found in the Lower Highlands. Cardinal Group is managing the lease-up. by the numbers 61 0.48 11 5 750 1,797 126 1.26 number of units acres floorplans stories average size of unit (SF) average rent ($) density (units/acre) parking (per unit) www.luminadenver.com 22 | TRENDS • JULY 2015 www.aamdhq.org
