This 12,375-square-foot redevelopment opportunity is strategically positioned along Federal Boulevard in Denver’s desirable Sunnyside neighborhood, offering developers and investors flexibility to pursue a residential or mixed-use development strategy. The property’s U-RX-3 zoning, prominent Federal Boulevard frontage, and infill location provide a compelling foundation for redevelopment within one of northwest Denver’s established residential neighborhoods. For a residential redevelopment strategy, a conceptual plan for approximately 9–12 townhome-style units has already been prepared by KSA Architects under the project name Townhomes at North Federal Blvd. Per CoStar’s current listing record, the concept plan is reported to be in City review, representing meaningful predevelopment work that may help streamline the path toward permitting compared with beginning the entitlement process from the ground up. Final unit count, buildable square footage, and current approval status have not been independently confirmed. Alternatively, the property’s U-RX-3 zoning provides flexibility for a mixed-use or ground-floor commercial concept, potentially accommodating neighborhood-serving retail, restaurant, or commercial space with residential uses above. This optionality allows a future owner to evaluate multiple development strategies based on market demand, project economics, and long-term investment objectives. Located along one of Denver’s primary north-south corridors, the site benefits from strong visibility, convenient regional connectivity, and proximity to the established amenities of Sunnyside, Highland, Berkeley, and Downtown Denver. The combination of flexible zoning, existing predevelopment work, and a well-connected infill location positions the property as an attractive redevelopment opportunity in northwest Denver.

Huge lot in University Hills!! Calling all developers or investors. 13,610 sq ft corner lot in a neighborhood that is quickly changing. Split the lot and build 2 houses, or build one dream home and with the configuration of the corner you can have the front of the house on one street and the garage in the back on the other street so it is not in front of the house. End users will appreciate that and it isn't easy to do in this neighborhood because there are no alleys, but you can do it with this special property! The house is turn key so you can rent it while you get permits, or rent it out for a few years and watch the neighborhood change and the land value go up and up. So much opportunity here! Buyer to verify zoning and all other information.
