Mill Creek Announces Groundbreaking of Modera University Park

Mill Creek Residential, a leading developer, owner-operator and investment manager specializing in premier rental housing across the U.S., today announced it has broken ground on Modera University Park, a contemporary apartment community located in the charming University Park neighborhood. 

 

Modera University Park, which will feature 234 homes, is ideally positioned minutes south of Interstate 25 between downtown Denver and the Denver Tech Center, the city’s two primary employment centers. The midrise community sits within a neighborhood that possesses a wide variety of coffee shops, brewpubs, retail and dining options and is anchored by the University of Denver. First move-ins are anticipated for early 2025.   

 

“While University Park is often thought of as a student-living destination, Modera University Park will contain much more of a neighborhood-centric atmosphere,” said Lucas Sandidge, vice president of development in Denver for Mill Creek Residential. “Surrounded by single-family residences, this community will offer a more sophisticated living experience tucked away from the university and will help address the lack of conventional multifamily housing in the area.”

 

Located at 2354 S. High Street, Modera University Park will be built to and is pursuing a National Green Building Standard (NGBS) Gold certification level. Residents will have quick access to the active commercial corridors contained on nearby Evans Avenue, located just north of the community, and on Colorado Boulevard, which sits less than two miles east. The site is also less than one mile from the University of Denver Light Rail Station, which provides connectivity throughout the city and to Denver International Airport. The community is less than eight minutes from Interstate 70, the area’s key east-west thoroughfare and gateway to the Rocky Mountains. 

 

Modera University Park will feature studio, one- and two-bedroom homes with select den and loft layouts. Community amenities will include a resident clubhouse, rooftop deck, grilling area, theater room, pool table, coffee bar, onsite dog park and pet spa, co-working spaces, conference room, private workstations and a club-quality, 24-hour fitness center with cardio equipment, yoga studio and group fitness area. Residents will also have access to bike lockers and storage, digital package lockers and additional storage spaces. 

 

Apartment interiors will include nine-foot ceilings, wood plank-style flooring, built-in shelving and desks, light and dark kitchen color schemes, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, tile backsplashes, 42-inch custom cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, moveable kitchen islands, in-home washers and dryers, walk-in closets and private patios or balconies. Bathrooms will feature double vanities, tile shower surrounds, soaking tubs and linen closets. The community will also offer a variety of smart home features, including smart thermostats, mobile guest entry, key fob access in common areas and bulk WiFi. 


Modera University Park will mark Mill Creek’s eighth ground-up development within Denver. Others include Modera Cherry Creek, Modera LoHi, Modera Observatory Park, Modera River North and Modera West Wash Park. Additionally, Modera Golden Triangle is under construction.

Mill Creek Residential, a leading developer, owner-operator and investment manager specializing in premier rental housing across the U.S., today announced it has broken ground on Amavi Kissimmee, a master-planned community in central Florida. Situated just south of Orlando in unincorporated Osceola County, Amavi Kissimmee represents Mill Creek’s first single-family build-to-rent community within the state. 

 

The community will offer a mix of 187 three-bedroom homes, including 2.5-bath townhomes and two-bath duplexes. First move-ins are anticipated for summer 2024. 

 

“Kissimmee continues to become an attractive destination for renters due to its charming neighborhoods, idyllic vibe and proximity to anything one might need from the surrounding city,” said Scott Herr, president of single-family rentals in the Southeast for Mill Creek Residential. “Osceola County is the 10th-fastest growing county in the U.S., and we’re eager to help address the emerging demand for quality housing in the area. We look forward to getting started on Amavi Kissimmee and to offering an amazing living experience at a reasonable price point.” 

 

Amavi Kissimmee will sit in the southwestern portion of Kissimmee and within a short drive of several amusement parks and Lake Tohopekaliga (Lake Toho). Residents will be within 12 miles of the Florida Turnpike and 12 miles from Interstate 4, which serves as the gateway to several of the area’s key employment centers, including Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, Orlando International Airport and NeoCity, a 500-acre master-planned campus that will serve as a global center of advanced research. Residents will also enjoy convenient access to retail, grocers and a high-performing school district. 

 

Amavi Kissimmee’s townhomes will feature front-garage/front-entry and rear-garage/rear-entry designs. The 159 front-garage homes will average 1,628 square feet while the 16 rear-garage homes will average 1,677 square feet. The community’s 12 duplexes will feature front-garage/front-entry layouts averaging 1,826 square feet. The community is built with water conservation in mind with low-water landscape design and irrigation throughout, as well as water-conserving fixtures and appliances in each home that use 20% less indoor water on average than a typical home.

 

Community amenities include a leasing office, clubhouse, swimming pool, outdoor gathering areas, playground and pet park. The community will also feature modern streetscapes and aesthetically manicured common areas. Home interiors will include a variety of features and finishes, including stainless steel appliances, wood plank-style flooring, kitchen islands, granite countertops, shaker-style cabinets, tile backsplashes, smart thermostats, controlled guest-access technology, ceiling fans and in-home washers and dryers. Select homes will feature pond views.

“Aventura has received international acclaim as a premier living destination with a multitude of shopping and entertainment opportunities,” said Andrea Rowe, senior managing director of development in South Florida for Mill Creek. “We are extremely excited to get started on this community, particularly given the shortage of land available for new development in the immediate area and the booming South Florida market, in general. We are eager to help address the growing need for quality housing in the area and look forward to delivering a top-of-market experience.”

 

Situated at 2681 NE 191st Street, Modera Aventura is located between Biscayne Boulevard and the West Dixie Highway in a former industrial area amidst a vibrant revitalization.

Modera Reserve is located directly adjacent from Kierland Commons and within a half-mile of the popular Scottsdale Quarter, two of the neighborhood’s most vibrant outdoor shopping centers. First move-ins are anticipated for spring 2025.  

 

“The Kierland area adjacent to North Scottsdale can be considered the premier live, work, play submarket in the Phoenix metro, and Modera Reserve represents one of the last remaining multifamily opportunities in the area,” said Tyler Wilson, managing director of development in Arizona for Mill Creek. “We believe the premier location at the southeast corner of Greenway Parkway and Kierland Boulevard is truly unbeatable, as it puts residents across the street from Kierland Commons, within walking distance of other nearby amenities and within a short commute to anything they might need. Additionally, the immediate locale will offer a private, comfortable living experience that will allow residents to unwind when they are home. We look forward to offering a best-in-class experience.”
