19Nineteen Mile High
Denver, Colorado

19Nineteen Mile High, a high-end, luxury 277-unit multifamily apartment building located near Empower Field in the Jefferson Park neighborhood, is the latest addition to Denver’s skyline. The Opus Group broke ground in April 2020 and construction was completed in May 2022.

The residential building in the vibrant and growing Jefferson Park community in Denver is well-positioned to capture the continued demand for housing and modern living in the city. The building is intentionally designed to accommodate health-conscious, young professionals and families in the area, featuring high-end apartment units and premier amenities such as a clubroom with a view of the mountains, downtown Denver and Empower Field at Mile High, an outdoor kitchen, and grilling area, a lap pool and hot tub, a two-story fitness center, a golf simulator, and game room, work-from-home stations, bicycle storage and a station for ski tuning and ski/board waxing.

Given the building’s high visibility and presence, our team developed its project plans with the existing adjacent sites in mind and designed around the same site area lighting to ensure it felt intentional. We created a high-level, refined living environment through innovative lighting and electrical design. The firm pursued a strategic, human-centered design for the property to ensure the spaces were functional, yet aesthetic and mirrored the feel of the entire interior of the building and surrounding exterior property.

Along with a color-changing band around the top of the building to elicit a playful personality for the building, the porte-cochere cove and column “zig-zag” detail also change in color to celebrate seasons, games, events, and more local happenings.

As the project’s exterior and interior light fixtures were chosen with sustainability top of mind, the building is LEED-certified and offers EV charging in the parking garage. In addition to sustainable practices, luxury was at the forefront of the design intent. All decorative lighting elements were carefully selected and coordinated with Opus to ensure they worked with the finishes and our team confirmed with Piper Electric on the installation to ensure it appeared seamless for the high-end and timeless aesthetic.
