Pancratia Hall Lofts

Affordable Housing at Historic Loretto Heights campus

Pancratia Hall Lofts is an adaptive use conversion of a vacant classroom and dormitory building at the historic Loretto Heights college campus in southwest Denver. Pancratia Hall is named after Mother Pancratia Bonfils, one of the key founders of Loretto Heights in the late 1800s. It was designed by master architect Harry W. J. Edbrooke in 1927 and was completed in 1930. The transformation of this important historic building created 74 affordable family apartments and an inviting courtyard. The building's location at the heart of the revitalized Loretto Heights community provides great additional amenities for residents. Key features of the historic building were integrated into the new lofts including refurbishing decorative terrazzo hallway flooring. The gym was converted into two, dramatic multi-level apartments, each with its own basketball backboard and restored clerestory windows. The Chapel's stained glass windows, decorative plaster walls, wood timber ceiling and decorative light fixtures are featured in a dramatic fourth floor apartment.

The project was a public/private partnership with the City and County of Denver, Denver Housing Authority, Colorado Housing and Finance Authority, Colorado Division of Housing, PNC Bank, ANB Bank and Commerce Bank.

Pancratia Hall Lofts is a development partnership between Hartman Ely Investments and Proximity Green. Westside Investment Partners is the redeveloper for the entire Loretto Heights Community
