A 287-unit luxury apartment building in Denver known as Platform Union Station sold to Griffis Residential for $125.5M cash, making it one of the largest multifamily transactions in the metro area in 2023.

The 21-story property was built in 2015 and includes amenities such as a resort-style rooftop terrace and pool, a 24-hour gym and a pet washing station. The complex is also within walking distance of Denver’s top restaurants, entertainment venues and employers.

CBRE’s Terrance Hunt, Shane Ozment, Chris Cowan, Andy Hellman, Justin Hunt, Chris Hart and Brad Schlafer represented the seller in the deal.

“Platform at Union Station is one of Denver’s most-iconic high-rise apartment communities located at the epicenter of downtown Denver,” Hunt said in a press release. “Opportunities to own an asset like this do not come around often, and this will be a great addition to the buyer’s portfolio.”
