Affordable-housing expansions increase supply for low-income Colorado Springs residents
GPR Properties’ Bentley Commons Apartments has officially completed construction, delivering 192 units of affordable housing in southeast Colorado Springs at 2715 Bentley Point. The project’s three development partners will celebrate this milestone with a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on October 7.
“The buildings and the landscaping are just beautiful — we’re really proud of it,” said Mary Stegner, Executive Director of Partners in Housing.
Partners in Housing, which provides transitional housing and supportive services for individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness, developed Bentley Commons in collaboration with two local nonprofit partners: Greccio, which will serve as the property manager and operates nearly 30 affordable apartment communities in Colorado Springs, and Rocky Mountain Land Trust, which offers affordable homeownership programs.
The grand opening marks the availability of 168 new one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments for singles and families earning between 30% and 60% of the area median income (AMI). Notably, 28 units are dedicated to formerly homeless veterans, helping provide stability and long-term housing opportunities for those who have served.
