San Antonio-based Kairoi Residential and leading real estate investment firm Clarion Partners have completed construction on The Gild at Metro Center, a Class A multifamily development situated within a Qualified Opportunity Zone in Aurora. Consisting of five elevator-served buildings set across 12 acres, the property is part of the growing Metro Center mixed-use development.
The Gild at Metro Center features 419 apartment homes consisting of studio, one, two-and-three-bedroom residential units ranging from 541 to 1,378 square feet. The community is conveniently located across from both the Aurora Town Center and Aurora City Place shopping malls (which together feature over 2,000,000 square feet of restaurants and retail) and near major medical facilities including the University of Colorado Health Hospital, Anschutz Hospital, and the Rocky Mountain Regional Medical Center. The Gild is walkable to Aurora City Center Park and the Aurora Metro Center Station R-Line light rail stop, which leads directly to downtown Denver and Denver International Airport. It is also located near Buckley Space Force Base, representing units from all four major branches of the U.S. Military.
“The Gild multifamily development was designed to set a new standard of quality and deliver an exceptional residential experience while bringing a fresh aesthetic to the neighborhood, “said Daniel Zunker, Kairoi’s president of development. “Kairoi and Clarion are proud to have delivered residential homes that are intentionally designed to meet the demands of future residents while bringing value to the community.”
Blending elevated design with modern features, the Gild offers thoughtfully curated lifestyle amenities including a 24-hour health club, an expansive pool, spin rooms, a dog park, and a speakeasy. A sky lounge, stylish coworking spaces with conference rooms spread throughout the property accommodate today’s remote or hybrid worker.
“We value our longstanding relationship with Kairoi Residential and the opportunity to continue building on our partnership through Aurora Metro Center,” said Clarion Partners Senior Vice President Brent Gerst. “The Denver area remains an important market for Clarion, where we currently own more than 50 properties across multiple sectors, including over 2,500 multifamily apartment units. This investment reflects our continued conviction in both the region and in well-located qualified opportunity zones throughout the U.S.”
The project also features art installations within the small urban parks located throughout on the property.
