Ridgeline Vista Townhomes will include 116 high-quality town homes to meet the growing demand in the area. Strategically located in northeast Denver, the community will benefit from the region's robust expansion along I-76 and its proximity to the Denver International Airport, offering residents unparalleled convenience and connectivity.

The developer, Republic Property Group, has a proven track record of success, having previously developed multiple BTR communities and nationally recognized Master-Planned Communities. Ridgeline Vista Townhomes is Republic Property Group’s first development project in Colorado.

The Ridgeline Vista Townhomes will feature a diverse mix of 36 two-bedroom, 56 three-bedroom, and 24 four-bedroom units, each equipped with attached 2-car garages. In addition to the thoughtfully designed floor plans, the community will include a dog park, boulevard streets, open space, and professional management that will include routine yard maintenance, enhancing the lifestyle and convenience for residents.

“AVANTA Residential is excited to embark on this new chapter of growth and innovation in the BTR market by leveraging the combined strengths of the AVANTA team and joint venture partners. We are thrilled to partner with Republic Property Group and are continually looking to partner with other experienced sponsors to execute BTR projects across target markets throughout the United States,” said Peter A.
