HARVARD COMMUNITIES

Over the past dozen years, Harvard Communities, Inc., has established a reputation as one of Denver's premier builders of semi-custom homes-distinctive series of residences planned for desirable urban neighborhoods, then carefully personalized to each buyer. “Our buyers are looking for something a little different,” explains company founder John Keith. “We understand, and give them homes that are beautiful, cool, and hip on the outside and sophisticated and high-performance within.”

For examples, look no further than five current Denver-area Harvard communities. In The Architect Collection at Stapleton, the innovative designs, priced from the mid-$600,000s, combine traditional styles with comfortable contemporary twists. Parkside at Lowry features seven new brick and stucco homes, from around $900,000, adjoining a new park and a stroll away from the town center. The premium Urban Estate Homes at Stapleton, from the $900,000s and available in a range of styles, make the most of the largest lots in outstanding locations.

The three-story Steam Plant Live/Work Row Homes, from the $800,000s, provide an exciting revival of a centuries-old concept: living above your business, with elevators linking each dramatic upstairs home to a unique ground-floor flex space with its own storefront-type visibility and access. At Belmar, a new mixed-use urban community, Harvard is building the only single-family detached homes-with pre-sales starting in late summer on the Contemporary Urban Cottages-featuring dramatic, functional floor plans and great private outdoor living spaces.

As diverse as these projects may be, they have far more common characteristics based on Harvard's singular approach, summed up as “Innovative. Intelligent. Inspired. Smart Designs for Smart Living.”

Each Harvard community begins with innovative design, realized through high-quality construction. Early on, buyers get involved through a “concierge” who “shepherds them through myriad choices so they end up with the home they want,” says Keith. Harvard also ensures the residences are “high-performance homes that are ultra energy efficient, meaning 40 to 50 percent more energy efficient than typical new homes. They're also more comfortable, more durable, and have better indoor air quality.”

Follow through is equally important. “We try to reduce the natural stress that comes from building a house,” says John Keith. “People are happy with our responsiveness to their needs and desires.” The community at large also benefits. “I'm proud to see the success of the neighborhoods we've built as part of the urban context.”
