2639 W Holden Place

This week, Governor Jared Polis visited Sun Valley to sign a bill that could reshape how Colorado builds housing.

The site is West Holden Place, a brand-new, 77-unit modular development by Adam Berger Development, now leasing.

The newly signed law, SB25-002, aims to accelerate modular and factory-built construction across the state by eliminating overlapping regulatory reviews.

Once new rules are adopted, oversight from multiple state boards, like plumbing and fire suppression, will no longer apply to modular structures, helping projects like West Holden get off the ground faster and cheaper.

“Modular construction offers a real, scalable solution,” said Adam Berger, whose firm is leading two more modular projects in Lakewood and Denver’s Overland neighborhood. “This bill removes outdated barriers so we can build smarter and faster.”

West Holden Place is one of six modular workforce housing projects in Sun Valley supported by the Denver Housing Authority’s Choice Neighborhoods Initiative.

Units here range from 500–1,000 SF, serving residents earning 80–120% AMI. Thanks to modular delivery, the build time was cut by 40%, and costs slashed by up to 25%.

As housing costs continue to pressure Colorado families, the state is betting on modular to help ease the crunch.
