Dear Just Bob,
What is happening at the corner of Longs Peak and Pace?
- Just Curious
Dear Just Curious,
The answer is that a new affordable housing development called Centennial Park Apartments are being built. This will help address Longmont's shortage of affordable housing caused by the 2013 St. Vrain River Flood. The apartment complex at 1205 Pace Street is on a 15 acre parcel and will contain 155 units. The site required no zoning changes. It is zoned MR-2 Residential Medium Density, which would allow 181 units; 26 units more than are being built.
According to Highland Property Management Company the rates are as follows:
- four bedroom, two bath 1,346 square foot apartment rents for $1,032-$1,609/month
- three bedroom, two bath 1,210 square foot apartment rents for $931-$1,448/month
- two bedroom, two bath 1,009 square foot apartment rents for $806-$1,253/month
- two bedroom, two bath 1,018 square foot apartment rents for $806-$1,253/month
- one bedroom, one bath 906 square foot apartment rents for $668-$1,041/month

According to Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA), “Summit Management Group, Inc. is a Montana corporation and the parent company of two subsidiary corporations that engage in real estate development, Summit Housing Group, Inc. and Highland Property Management, Inc.
