When the social service component of the program is added, the entire Curtis Park project investment rises to about $85 million, says Egbert L.J. Perry, CEO for Atlanta-based Integral Group, which is heading a joint venture to redevelop Curtis Park, which is about a five-minute drive from the Central Business District. "We want to avoid some of the historical pitfalls of urban redevelopment," Perry told GlobeSt.com.

Perry's mission is to provide affordable housing that is fully integrated with market-rate, single-family homes and luxury apartments. "This has never been done before in Denver," says Perry. "In fact, not many cities have done this."

The Integral Group is doing an even more ambitious project in Atlanta. That city's $153 million Centennial Place is situated on a 60-acre site that includes a new school, new police station, retail, a YMCA and daycare center.
