Canyon View Apartments were situated on 5.06 acres of vacant land in Golden, Colorado. The location was positioned to the west of U.S. Highway 93 and to the north of Golden Gate Canyon Road. Previously, the property had been utilized for industrial purposes, including brick making, coal and clay mining, as well as serving as a construction yard and concrete batch plant.

In addition to the architecture and design, SEH had devised a comprehensive remediation plan to address the arsenic contamination found at the site. This plan had been formulated to meet the stringent requirements outlined by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) Voluntary Cleanup Program (VCUP).

Following the successful completion of the VCUP by CFC, the project was poised to enter its construction phase. This involved the development of three apartment buildings, with construction scheduled to commence in the summer of 2024. The financing for this endeavor was facilitated through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
