It will include 252 units which include some one bedrooms, but a majority are two or three bedrooms.

"We're proud to support the construction of these new affordable homes for Denver's hard-working residents and families," Hancock said.

East Range Crossings will feature a clubhouse that will include a fitness center, yoga area, community commercial-grade kitchen, and business center.

This is one of the first projects to receive funding from Denver's dedicated affordable housing fund. A total of 1,075 affordable units that have received city financing are currently under construction.
