Artspace

Affordable live/work space for creatives

The Colorado Springs Downtown Development Authority and Downtown Ventures, a charitable nonprofit, are working with Minneapolis-based Artspace, the nation’s leading developer of artist housing, to bring affordable housing for creatives to the city center.

The project officially broke ground in April 2023. When completed in late 2024, the mixed-use property will provide 51 one- and two-bedroom live-work units to serve artists and creatives making 60 percent or lower of Area Median Income. The building also will have about 20 artist studios.
