Milender White (MW) was the design-builder on this eight-story, 100-unit senior and disabled low-income housing development. The 97,000-sq. ft. transit-oriented community enhances many aspects of public health for residents, featuring easy non-vehicular access to bicycle, pedestrian and mass transit routes and neighborhood amenities.
Tapiz at Mariposa delivers exceptional environmental efficiency and energy performance and is LEED Platinum certified. The project achieved a 50% energy savings from baseline ASHRAE 90.1.
Tapiz at Mariposa represented the first phase of Denver Housing Authority’s 18-acre Mariposa Redevelopment, a HOPE VI program in the South Lincoln Neighborhood. The design process relied on an extensive community outreach effort, a continuation from the South Lincoln Redevelopment. Several meetings were held to ensure that the design was truly of the community.
