Amenities include a lap pool, fitness center, hot tub, sunroom, outdoor kitchen, clubhouse, conference room, workspaces, pet spa, storage units, and detached garages.

Equity Residential, a member of the S&P 500 founded by Sam Zell in 1969, has expanded its portfolio in recent months with multifamily properties around Denver, including Novel White Fence Farm in Lakewood and Arbour Square Apartments in Westminster.
