The Rapids Presents Three Rare Opportunities to Enjoy
Waterfront Living on the Platte River

DENVER – It’s one of the most unique residential venues in all of metro Denver, and three very fortunate homebuyers who act now can enjoy waterfront living on the banks of the sparkling Platte River. The Rapids showcases three custom riverfront homes priced from $1,165,000, with floorplans ranging in size from 2,592 to a remarkably spacious 3,565 square feet of beautifully finished living space.

Buyers can customize their new home with gorgeous interior finishes and appointments that will make each home personal and individual in every respect. Rapids owners will enjoy generous balconies overlooking the Platte River and the Platte River Greenway bicycle path along dramatic city skyline views, providing the perfect backdrop for entertaining.

“The Rapids ‘core-and-shell’ concept is designed to provide buyers with the utmost in flexibility to customize their unique riverside homes,” said Jim Theye, exclusive listing agent and broker/co-owner of Kentwood City Properties. “The Rapids development team recognizes that the buyer, rather than the developer, is best suited to determine the layout, finishes and systems that best suit their lifestyle. Therefore, in an effort to eliminate ‘throw-away’ finishes and duplicated expenses, The Rapids will be delivered as core and shell residences, ready for the homeowners’ customization.”

The eye-catching homes at The Rapids are distinguished by cast-stone and solid zinc panels. These high quality, durable materials are both low-maintenance and aesthetically appealing. Each home offers energy-efficient Low-E windows, custom entry doors, and park-side patios. Stairways feature steel railings and stairs ready for carpet, hardwood, stone or other finishes. Buyers may also select floor finishes.

Two air-conditioning compressors are provided with each unit for dual cooling zones, and the buyers will complete the heating and cooling systems to conform with their custom interior. The project includes an attached parking garage accessible from each unit, plus two parking spaces per home. The area between The Rapids and 15th Street, known as the “Westside Line,” will be landscaped, and a soft-surface walking path will be installed. Owner HOA fees will provide for exterior maintenance, insurance, landscaping care, shared water costs, plus snow and trash removal.

“The Rapids offers a very enviable lifestyle in a premier location across from Commons Park and Riverfront Park,” said Theye. “Owners will be steps away from Platte Street’s growing assortment of restaurants and retail shops and convenient to Vitamin Cottage, dry cleaners, hair salons, wine shops and more. You can walk across the historic iron pedestrian bridge to Riverfront Park, Union Station, LoDo, Coors Field, and all that downtown Denver has to offer.
