17*Walnut

1707 Walnut Street, Boulder, CO

Completed 2015

Located in the heart of Boulder’s historic Whittier downtown neighborhood, 17*Walnut has become a case study in urban infill development and is frequently cited for design excellence. In building 17*Walnut, Element partnered with the City of Boulder to realize a long-standing vision to transform and revitalize the former site of a convenience store. Element applied its extensive expertise in navigating complicated requirements, regulations and limited land-use options to assemble a team of partners capable of meeting the significant challenges associated with the project. The building’s luxury apartments fuse iconic designs, energy efficiency, unparalleled views and an unbeatable location. 17*Walnut highlights Element’s commitment to livability and sustainability, and with nearly $12 million invested back into the community, the project is a vivid demonstration of Element’s ability to deliver high-end, Class A projects. When 17*Walnut sold in April 2017, the sale represented the highest-ever per-unit price in Colorado’s history as well as for a non-coastal asset since 2015.
