Viña Apartments, nonprofit and retail at 48th & Race
When Viña Apartments opened, it more than quadrupled the supply of permanently affordable housing in a historically underserved Denver neighborhood. ULC purchased the land in April 2015 and Viña Apartments opened in 2022, developed by Columbia Ventures. The site includes 150 permanently affordable apartments ranging from 30% to 80% AMI, a 24,500-square-foot community health clinic, 5,000 square feet of neighborhood-serving retail and more than 45,000 square feet of community-serving commercial space.
The first floor of Viña became the new, modern and expansive home of the Tepeyac Community Health Center, a nonprofit clinic providing affordable and accessible integrated health care for more than 25 years. This transit-oriented development is located two blocks from RTD’s 48th & Brighton commuter rail station on the N Line, offering low-cost transit options for residents. The building is held in ULC’s community land trust to ensure permanent affordability.
