The largest modular project in Denver

A phased delivery of large-scale modular model

Dry Creek Apartments is a 360,000-square-foot modular redevelopment, converting a former office campus into 326 attainable rental residences, and making it the largest modular project built in the Denver area to date. The development includes five four-story buildings with identical footprints and unit layouts, designed for repeatability and efficiency while addressing the high demand for housing just south of Denver.

Consolidated Investment Group, the project developer, is focused on creating a model for attainable housing that can be replicated nationwide. They have spent several years developing supply chains, design efficiencies and repeatable layouts with the goal of applying the model to future projects. They have brought together an experienced project team that has contributed its best practices throughout the design development process to support this first large-scale deployment.

RISE is serving as the modular manufacturer as well as transporting and setting all modules on site. By combining RISE’s modules with other off-site constructed components, including precast foundations and elevated decks, the project achieves both efficiency and high-quality results. Off-site construction ensures consistent quality, rigorous inspection and precise integration of components; benefits that are particularly critical in affordable housing, where durability and long-term performance are essential.

The project is currently in design development. Delivery will be phased, with the project proceeding into 2027, allowing residents the opportunity to move in progressively as each building is completed. Dry Creek Apartments will demonstrate how modular construction can deliver scalable, high-quality housing solutions efficiently and reliably.

 

Dry Creek apartments' Modular BENEFITS

The repeatable design of the five four-story buildings allows RISE to streamline module production. As construction progresses, modules are expected to be built and set faster, accelerating overall project delivery while site work continues in parallel.

Standardized, repeatable layouts reduce on-site labor requirements and rework, helping the project stay on budget and making it feasible to deliver high-quality, attainable housing at scale.

Modules are manufactured in a climate-controlled facility, ensuring precise construction, consistent finishes and durable units. Repeatability allows lessons learned from early modules to be applied to later ones, further improving quality over the course of construction.

Off-site fabrication minimizes material waste, optimizes logistics and reduces environmental impact compared to traditional on-site construction, with efficiencies compounding as repeatable modules are produced.

Reducing the amount of work performed at height and on a crowded construction site minimized risk for workers and allowed for safer, more organized on-site operations.

Limiting on-site work, especially at height, creates a safer environment for construction workers, and the repeatable module set process allows for safer, more organized site operations.

“We are excited about this project and its fulfillment of a long-term goal to have a new hotel as part of the WingHaven, Mastercard and Streets of Caledonia areas."
