Cadence Union Station, a 218-unit apartment community under construction in the Union Station neighborhood, has opened an on-site leasing center at 17th and Chestnut streets.
The LEED Gold high-rise, which will be the first apartment building to open adjacent to the Union Station renovation project, is expected to open in December.
Cadence already is attracting strong interest, with some renters signing leases as early as last month for move-in dates in January.
"There are people who really want to get in on the ground floor of what will likely be one of downtown’s most exciting and vibrant neighborhoods," says Susan Maxwell, Principal and Director of real estate for
Zocalo Community Development, which is building Cadence with Principal Real Estate Investors. "We’re also hearing from renters who are familiar with our products, and we know we have a solid reputation for delivering innovative, high-quality housing."
Amenities at Cadence include a rooftop pool and lounge area; rooftop health center; climate controlled parking; and a variety of community gathering areas, including a lobby-level lounge and some type of outdoor space.
The building will include studios, one- and two-bedroom apartments with average rents of $1,892 a month.
Apartments also include an array of green features such as easy recycling and composting programs; Energy Star appliances; high-performance water fixtures; and the Velo Room, a fully equipped bicycle maintenance shop.
Overall, Zocalo estimates that Cadence residents will spend 50 percent less on their utility bills than they would living in a similar, non-LEED certified building. Because of its close proximity to public transportation, Cadence will also offer residents the opportunity to park their cars and save money on fuel.
