“IOTAS will begin learning your behaviors, so that it will automatically be able to do things like adjust the thermostat to your liking when you wake up in the morning,” he continues. “IOTAS will make the lives of our residents more seamless, while also helping to automate energy saving initiatives and reduce energy costs.”

The Palmer is also within walking distance of popular businesses and restaurants such as Salsa Limon, Lettuce Cook, Flowers on the Square, Abundio's Fit Society, GWW Real Estate and the highly anticipated Heim BBQ, which is undergoing renovations during the next few months.

“The Palmer is going to be a fantastic addition to The River District and Fort Capital's portfolio,” said Chris Powers, CEO of Fort Capital. “Between the smart home technology and The River District offerings, these apartments are unlike anything else. I'm really looking forward to seeing how this development will impact the neighborhood.”

The Palmer's studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units will include 10-foot ceilings, hardwood-style and tile flooring, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, oversized tubs, washers and dryers, designer light fixtures, and oversized balconies. The Palmer will also offer amenities such as an expansive rooftop lounge, laundry/dry cleaning services, a coffee bar with co-working areas, bike storage, a package concierge, and gated covered parking and private garages.
