Denver seeking contractor to help it create incentives for more affordable housing near transit
The city of Denver is seeking help to advance some of its key housing goals, including support in creating incentives for developers to build affordable residential projects near transit stops.
The city’s Community Planning and Development and Denver Economic Development & Opportunity offices on Monday announced they are seeking a consultant team that can aid them in a multi-year effort. The consultant will help enact policy recommendations found in the city’s long-range housing plan and its Blueprint Denver land use and transportation plan, adopted in April.
Specifically, city officials say they are seeking a “multidisciplinary team” that can aid in launching zoning incentives for developers who build affordable housing in transit-rich parts of town, according to a news release. The release references building height bonuses available to developers who agree to build affordable housing to the area immediately around the 38th and Blake rail station in RiNo as a working example.
