Creating Residential Neighborhoods

With available land in cities at a premium, emerging metropolitan areas must densify their housing supply to shelter a rapidly growing population. Page has extensive experience in evaluating site potential, programming, architectural design and interiors for rental and condominium multifamily buildings at all scales and in multiple markets across the country.

The 1000 Speer residential tower, initially known as Joule Denver, is a gateway to Denver’s Golden Triangle Arts District. The 16-story, 224-unit building was carefully programmed to create a coveted address, deftly blending modern design and regional materials to reflect the area’s creative culture. The strategy proved successful; months after opening, the building sold for the highest per-unit price in Denver’s history of multifamily sales to that date.

Multifamily towers are numerous in downtown Austin, but 70 Rainey has a distinctive form and amenities that set it apart. At the 12th floor, the building twists 14 degrees relative to its base, a structural feat that enhances the prime views of Lady Bird Lake and the Texas Hill Country beyond. This design feature also gives the building a unique identity on the burgeoning Austin skyline. Its location just behind the city’s Mexican American Cultural Center ensures views of the lake are protected from long-term development.

A prism of emerald green glass on the Dallas skyline, the 60-story Fountain Place office tower has adorned the horizon since 1986. The original master plan called for an identical building to the west, rotated 90 degrees from the original, but this vision was never realized. More than thirty years later, a new residential tower, AMLI Fountain Place, honors the spirit of the master plan.
