Here’s what you get for $16K a month in Denver’s ‘canyon’ apartment

DENVER (KDVR) — An apartment complex in the Elyria-Swansea neighborhood opened on Wednesday with a penthouse that costs over $15,000 a month, making it Denver’s most expensive apartment.

The building at the corner of 40th Street and Blake Street is called One River North, which you might’ve seen while driving around Denver. It’s the building with a canyon-like hole going through it.

The building comes with a moving river and plants to fill the canyon-like spaces. Now, it’s open for renters starting at $1,800 a month, which is actually lower than the average monthly rent of $1,984 as of February, according to Zillow.

However, some of the one-bed, one-bath apartments cost as much as over $3,000 a month.

While this is still within the range of an average apartment in Denver, if you’re looking for a four-person bedroom at the new complex, it’s going to cost you.

The penthouse costs as much as nearly $16,000 a month, which supersedes the most expensive Denver apartment on Zillow — The Coloradan penthouse for $15,000 a month.

That said, the penthouse at River One North is a four-person bedroom with three and a half bathrooms, unlike The Coloradan which only has two beds and two and a half bathrooms.

Pictures of the completed space haven’t been released yet, however, FOX31 got a sneak peek inside the building on Tuesday before the opening.

Most of the apartments range from one, two or three bedrooms with open-air terraces and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors.

It also has a rooftop with a pet area, as well as a pool, spa and garden for residents.

The apartment complex opened on Wednesday, and already has 2,500 possible renters queued up to take a tour.
