MULTI-FAMILY

Architecture+Planning

With over 100,000+ units built since the firm’s inception, there is no doubt that KTGY knows

multi-family housing. From affordable family apartments to luxury condos and mixed-use, our

experience is wide and varied, but we never lose sight of the fact that we are designing homes.

These homes are places where children will take their first steps, couples will celebrate

anniversaries and memories will be made.

With our client’s goals and desires at the forefront, coupled with our passion and desire to

create great places, KTGY can assist with a wide range of planning, architecture and/or

implementation services designed to create great communities and create great value.

KTGY KNOWS MULTI-FAMILY

WestendDenver, CO

Located just north of Downtown Denver, and less than ¾ of a mile away from the city’s centralUnion Station transportation hub, Westend offers 390 units of city living conveniently nestledinto the surrounding greenery of the City of Cuemavaca Park. The location abuts 1-25 and the Platte River, making Westend a private enclave that is often elusive within city limits.

MULTI-FAMILY

DESIGN TRENDS81. Bigger & Better Amenities

The latest in apartment community amenities include a rock

climbing wall, yoga and pilates studio, outdoor lounges with a

fireplace or fire pit, elaborate outdoor kitchens and dining areas,

and huge swimming pools including a lazy river with party cabanas

and outdoor big screen TVs.

2. Home is Where the Dog is

Many multifamily dwellers - particularly Millennials and Empty

Nesters - would never even consider an apartment that didn’t

welcome their furry friends. While plenty of developers said “no

pets” 10 years ago, the Great Recession has turned that around,

particularly in urban cores with dog parks, dog runs and pet wash

stations.

3. Fitness on Demand

Fitness on Demand is a fitness class in a gym setting that allows

members to watch group fitness classes on a TV without an

instructor onsite. This convenience allows residents to take a

pilates, yoga or spinning classes whenever they want and has been

a popular amenity in multifamily apartments.

4. Location, Location, Location

Easy access to transit and neighborhood amenities like shopping,

entertainment, employment and education are big draws for

renters. As land in urban areas gets more difficult to come by,

smaller, more efficient floor plans that live large allow developers

to increase density.

5. Micro Apartments

Millennials are attracted to micro apartments in desirable metro

areas where the small unit sizes allow for rents to be within reach.

There is doubt that the micro apartment will catch on with Boomers.

Rather, the great room with a one-bedroom space inboard will

become a staple for Boomers. As men continue to live longer, we

will probably see more of a demand by couples for two-bedroom,

two-bath plans. Without advertising it, two-bedrooms and two-

baths provide a “snore” room and his and hers bathrooms.

6. High Tech

Instead of a key or a key card, you can now use your phone to open

your door. Savvy multifamily operators use online technology to

market their communities, automate social media postings and

deliver desktop and mobile platforms for prospects to transact

business and to maximize retention rates. This also saves money

and time. Automated parking systems allow for a swipe of a keycard

and the automation system moves and parks the resident’s vehicle.

7. Being Green & Riding High

A growing focus on green, urban living has more residents looking

for communities that offer more than a standard bicycle rack

and sustainable features. Options like a large community bike

room, mounting versatile “gear walls” in apartments or “runnels”

incorporated onto the side of its stairways help residents

accommodate an active lifestyle. Designing green communities

(whether certified or not) is now the new standard.

8. Universal Design

Universal Design is more about easier living for all ages, not just

the senior population. Some of the latest kitchen faucets show that

product manufacturers are beginning to embrace Universal Design

principles. Now you can tap the fixture with dirty hands to start the

flow of water or just raise the pot to shut it off.
