Sustainable, LEED-Gold Building Design

The Gold Standard

As a LEED Gold-certified multi-use building, Forge integrates practical, measurable solutions across every square foot—from sustainable site development to industry-leading energy and water efficiencies.

Smart Energy & Passive Design

The building is engineered to minimize its carbon footprint while maximizing resident comfort. This is achieved through a combination of high-tech and common-sense solutions:

*Climate Control: *High-efficiency HVAC systems paired with smart thermostats.
Building Envelope: Low-E windows and solar shades for passive energy reduction.
Clean Transit: Greenhouse gas reduction via dedicated EV stalls and secure bike parking.

Water Conservation

Forge prioritizes efficiency without sacrificing performance. Inside, every unit and common area features low-flow toilets, urinals, and flow reducers on all sinks and showers. Outside, the landscape architecture focuses on low-water and drought-tolerant plant selections, managed by an irrigation system with weather controls to ensure conservation.

Holistic Health and Well-Being

The "gold" standard extends to the physical health of those who live and work here. The interior environment is optimized through:

Air Quality: The use of low-VOC paints, flooring, and wall coverings throughout the building.
Quiet Living: Integrated acoustical treatments for superior sound control.
Active Lifestyle: On-site amenities including a fitness center, spin/yoga studio, and a pool designed for water-based exercise.
Inspired Design: Creative interiors and curated artwork designed to improve mood and foster a sense of community and inspiration.
Abundant Natural Light: Oversized and floor-to-ceiling windows in both apartments and common areas to maximize daylight and connection to the outdoors.
Outdoor Spaces: A variety of fresh-air retreats, including outdoor terraces, dining spaces, a pool deck, and private balconies in many select apartments.

A Connection to the City

True sustainability includes how we move through the world. As a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), Forge is perfectly positioned for a low-impact lifestyle, located just 0.1 miles from the 38th & Blake Light Rail station and RTD Park & Ride.
