DENVER—Design veteran Terry Willis has joined KTGY Group Inc. Architecture + Planning as a principal in its Denver office. Willis has more than 30 years of design experience in a broad range of development projects including high-profile commercial, retail, residential, entertainment and resort projects.

Willis most recently served as a senior architect with Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. here and as associate principal and Denver studio manager of 4240 Architecture Inc. “I look forward to assisting local and national clients to position their products and communities ahead of their competition, with a special emphasis on urban and transit-oriented developments,” he says.

Willis has been responsible for some of the most notable building and construction projects in the Denver metro area including E. 29th Ave. Town Center at Stapleton here, St. Julien Hotel & Spa in Boulder and the 200 Fillmore repositioning in Denver's Cherry Creek North.

Chris Texter, managing partner of KTGY's Denver office, says Willis' talents and skills will help expand the capabilities of the office in different types of projects and business opportunities. “In collaboration with the current Denver team, Terry will lead and expand KTGY's design studio in Denver.”

Some of KTGY's current projects in the Denver Metro area include the design of Aster Conservatory Green in Stapleton, a 352-unit apartment community under construction for Forest City Enterprises; Point 21 Urban Flats, a 212-unit apartment community under construction near Coors Field for Legacy Partners and the nearly completed RockVue, a 220-unit apartment community in Broomfield, developed by Carmel Partners. The firm has more than 1,000 apartment units either in design or construction phase with Carmel Partners in the Denver area.

In addition, KTGY is breaking ground on a mixed-use podium project, Route 40, at Colfax Ave. and Downing St. here, consisting of 6,700 square feet of retail and 102 units of apartments.

As GlobeSt.com reported in April, construction began on Elevation at County Line Station, a brand new, best-in-class 265-unit apartment community with a sleek, modern and trendy vibe in Englewood, CO. The new $44-million community is situated on eight acres.

“The project is across the street from the County Line RTD Park-n-Ride and within a short walk to the County Line light-rail station that connects to downtown Denver and provides access throughout the Denver metro area,” KTGY's studio director Nathan Sciarra, AIA and the project manager for Elevation at County Line Station, told GlobeSt.com. “The design is sleek and modern. It will be a hip apartment community; the new place to live.”
