Iron Works Village, at 601 Bates Ave., is being built on the site of the former General Iron foundry, which was once important to commerce in Denver and Englewood.

Pre-sales for homes there are underway now. Townhomes will start in the mid-$300,000 range, duplexes will start in the mid-$400,000 range and detached single-family homes will start in the high $400,000 range.

“The homes at Iron Works are street-facing and community-oriented. What we believe in crafting these plans is there needs to be some unity in the heart of the house.” Pele-Ona co-founder Ronnie Pelusio said.

“These houses use principles of historic neighborhoods in a modern way,” Pelusio said. “They honor the historic shapes of houses. But they have open floor plans and use modern technologies and building assemblies that live up to current-day sustainability needs.”
