As you’ve driven in and out of Boulder on 28th Street/Highway 36 at about College Avenue, you’ve noticed the rapid progress being made on two new developments just across the street from Folsom Field and the CU campus.

It’s typically an area that’s known for its buildings and architecture from the ’70s, the pinnacle of which being the landmark First Christian Church (right, as seen in the Jack Nicholson movie About Schmidt). And it’s either great or horrible seeing the kind of progress going up there, depending on how you feel about old things in Boulder vs. Boulder’s new-new things.

Looking out on the mountains and famous flatirons, there are two new-new things:  One Penn Place and Landmark Lofts, both stylish and tasteful additions in my opinion, and both right next to each other.

One Penn Place–Four story building of 12 units total on Pennsylvania Avenue, plus top-notch amenities such as a workout facility, meeting room, and 2 parking spaces in a heated garage per unit. With a focus on luxury finishes and appliances, One Penn Place is a residential condominium building of units in the 2,000 square foot range, priced from the mid-500s to up over 1M. You’ll find 2 bedroom or 2 bedroom + study units with open living spaces and some storage.

Landmark Lofts–A larger development of 1, 2, 3, 4 bedroom and penthouse units with about 600-1800 square feet per unit.  The difference here is this: What’s outside the units here is almost as important as what’s in. With pathways winding around the buildings, park benches, and casual outdoor meeting spaces, Landmark embraces a more social aspect to its architectural stylings. From the mid-200s to the 700s.

You can take virtual tours of both places, or see them up close and in person by contacting your favorite Boulder REALTOR.
