Engineering Luxury for The Parq on Speer Apartments

Posted April 15, 2019

Golden Triangle’s New Luxury Apartments

MDP Engineering Group provided full mechanical, electrical, and plumbing design services for The Parq on Speer, Denver’s new, luxury apartment community in the Golden Triangle neighborhood. Because Denver has such a burgeoning rental market, developers must go beyond traditional amenity offerings to remain competitive. Therefore they must bring a fresh approach to apartment living by offering residents a holistic lifestyle opportunity. Greystar, the developer of The Parq on Speer has done just that. Now residents can shop, take their dog to the park, catch a tan at the pool, and meet friends for dinner without leaving their block.

Project Details

The 16-story, 493,117 SF concrete structure houses just over 300 studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom residential units. Residents of The Parq on Speer will be able to enjoy over 12,000 SF of amenity space including:

Club Room
Aqua Lounge
Fitness Center with Yoga Studio and Spin Bike Room
Elevated Dog Park, Grooming Spa, and Doggie Vending Machine
Community Room
Pool Deck with Mountain Views, cabana lounges, and fire pits
Bike Storage

The building was designed with high-end apartments bordering Cherry Creek and core and shell retail spaces designed for a grocery store and restaurants. The top two floors have penthouse apartments which are double the size of standard units. See the Denver Business Journal’s write up on the project here.
