Lincoln Avenue Communities Breaks Ground on Affordable Housing Development in Arvada, Colorado

Business and community leaders joined LAC to break ground on Marshall Pointe Apartments.

ARVADA, Colo. , June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lincoln Avenue Communities (LAC), a mission-driven acquirer and developer of affordable housing, hosted a groundbreaking ceremony last week at the future site of Marshall Pointe Apartments, a four-story, 260-unit affordable housing community in Arvada, Colorado expected to begin leasing in September 2026.

"We are proud to commence work today on LAC's second ground-up development in the Denver metro area," said Ben Taylor, LAC vice president and project partner. "Marshall Pointe will provide high-quality, affordable housing for families in one of Colorado's fastest-growing communities."

Comprised of mostly one- and two-bedroom units, Marshall Pointe will lease its units to residents earning between 30% and 70% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Communal amenities will include two courtyards: one for adults featuring a covered dining area, hammock grove, flex lawn space, and lush landscaping; and one for children including a climbing wall, playground, movie wall, and garden. Additional indoor amenities include a fitness center, game room, package and mail rooms, and a lounge with a kitchenette. All units will be equipped with stainless steel Energy Star appliances, balconies, walk-in closets, linen closets, and hard-surface countertops.

LAC is partnering with Family Tree, a non-profit human services agency in the Denver Metro Area, to offer full-time permanent supportive housing (PSH) at the site for all 13 units at the property, including eight that will have Project-Based Housing Choice Vouchers from the Arvada Housing Authority (AHA).  As a result of the partnership with LAC, residents at Family Tree's nearby under development supportive housing property will have the opportunity to move to Marshall Pointe when ready, creating a Corridor of Housing Advancement between the sites and supporting long-term residency in the area.

The project was financed in partnership with AHA and the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA), which provided Federal and Colorado State Tax Credits, along with the permanent financing. Additionally, the Colorado Department of Local Affairs provided $5 million of bridge funding for the land acquisition through their Operation Turn Key program, which allowed LAC to acquire the land 18 months ahead of the construction finance closing. Additional partners include the National Equity Fund (NEF) and JP Morgan Chase.
