Since vacating the property nearly eight years ago, the former Holy Cross Lutheran Church in West Glenwood Springs has pretty much stood vacant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alpine Quest Sports briefly operated out of the 8,200 square foot structure located at 62 County Road 135 following the church\u2019s departure. However, come 2020, the former place of worship\/retail sports store will turn into a 13-unit, multi-family building according to architect and project applicant Brad Jordan.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThey are all going to be one-bedroom units, self-contained,\u201d Jordan said. \u201cThey\u2019ve got a bedroom, bathroom, living area, a small dining area and a kitchen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Garfield County assessor records, TB and SB LLC based out of Glenwood Springs owns the property.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jordan thought the new multi-family building would be completed in late spring or early summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI believe [TB and SB LLC] are going to hold it out as a rental, for the time being, but it has been approved for (condominiums),\u201d Jordan said. \u201cThe construction will be so that the units can be sold.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Jordan said that rates had not been finalized, but did confirm that the multi-family building would not include \u201caffordable housing\u201d units.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe city has some incentives to make so many units affordable. Unfortunately, they have not been able to come up with something that is really feasible on a smaller project like this,\u201d Jordan said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The plans do not call for the former church\u2019s demolition, but the exterior will be redone with stone and stucco and the structure\u2019s interior will be gutted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each unit ranges between 595 and 1,030 square feet in size.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, the property will include 20 parking spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Previously, the former church property was approximately 1 acre and extended to Highway 6. However, TB and SB LLC opted to convert the land into two half-acre properties.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe parcel that is adjacent to Highway 6 and 24 could be developed into a commercial space or residential\u2026down the road,\u201d Jordan said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upon completion, Jordan did not think the structure would resemble that of a former church.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe always need housing in this area and the building was just becoming more dilapidated and non-useable,\u201d Jordan said. \u201cEverything led the client down the path of we could develop this into housing, provide something this city needs and come up with a project that is much nicer looking than what is currently there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
