Aromor Apartments
Submitted by Buchanan Yonushewski Group
Aromor Apartment building, originally built in 1928 and a historic Denver landmark, has been renovated into a living facility for the city’s less fortunate. The newly renovated building contains 66 single-room occupancy apartments and social-services facilities for support of the residents, including a computer lab, visiting physicians’ office, social workers’ offices conference and meeting rooms and a separate office facility.
The building required extensive asbestos removal before construction began. However, after construction started, a large amount of additional asbestos was discovered above the third-floor ceiling. The building was also in severe disrepair due to years of neglect while it was unoccupied.
