DENVER (March 2, 2026) — United Properties announced today the groundbreaking of Amira Lowry, a 154-unit active adult (55-plus) rental community located at 8892 E. Lowry Blvd. in Denver’s highly sought-after Lowry neighborhood. The project marks United Properties’ continued expansion of its successful Amira brand and introduces a thoughtfully designed community tailored to active adults seeking connection, convenience and elevated living.
Situated on a premier site surrounded by parks, retail and walkable amenities, Amira Lowry will offer residents a vibrant lifestyle in one of Denver’s most established mixed-use neighborhoods. The four-story community will feature spacious residences ranging from alcove studios to two-bedroom-plus-den layouts, all with contemporary finishes, in-unit laundry, private balconies and generous storage.
“Amira Lowry represents the next evolution of the Amira brand,” said Dave Young, vice president, senior living development, United Properties. “Lowry’s strong sense of place, walkability and access to green space make it an ideal setting for an active adult community that supports independence, wellness and meaningful social connection.”
Designed to foster engagement and well-being, Amira Lowry’s landscaped grounds and thoughtfully designed interiors provide places to gather, stay active and enjoy time with neighbors. Fitness and wellness spaces, creative activity rooms and comfortable lounges offer opportunities to recharge indoors, while gardens, walking paths and outdoor courtyards highlight the beauty of every season. Keegan Mulry House has curated interior design and furnishings to create warm, inviting spaces that reflect the Amira brand.
Construction of the community is being led by Weis Builders, a long-standing partner of United Properties with experience in senior housing and multifamily projects.
“We’re proud to partner once again with United Properties on Amira Lowry,” said Jon Koehler, senior vice president, Weis Builders. “This project reflects a high level of collaboration, thoughtful design and attention to quality that will deliver long-term value for residents and the surrounding community.”
Upon completion, Amira Lowry will be operated by Great Lakes Management, bringing experienced, resident-focused operations to the Denver market.
“Amira communities are known for creating environments where residents can stay active, engaged and connected,” said Stephen Pagh, executive vice president, Great Lakes Management. “We’re excited to bring that approach to Lowry and support a community that encourages healthy, independent living.”
The development features a secure, attached parking garage — an uncommon convenience in active adult communities — along with thoughtfully designed amenities that support an active, on-the-go lifestyle, including a dedicated bike lounge and outdoor gear storage. Amira Lowry embodies United Properties’ commitment to sustainability, wellness and community impact, integrating energy-efficient building systems, smart thermostats, ENERGY STAR appliances, native and drought-tolerant landscaping and a solar-ready design. Participation in Xcel Energy’s Energy Design Assistance program further reinforces a forward-thinking approach that benefits both residents and the environment.
Amira Lowry represents Phase 1 of a broader two-phase vision for the site. Future plans include the addition of adjacent villa-style homes, which would further expand housing options for active adults ages 55 and older in the area, subject to required approvals.
