Situated just steps from Pearl Street Mall, Boulder Creek Path, and within close proximity to the University of Colorado Boulder, the property benefits from exceptional walkability, lifestyle appeal, and proximity to major employment centers. Downtown Boulder continues to experience strong rental demand driven by limited developable land, high barriers to entry, and an affluent, educated tenant base. Looking ahead, Boulder’s profile as a cultural and economic hub will further accelerate with the relocation of the Sundance Film Festival beginning in January 2027, bringing international visibility, tourism, and incremental housing demand to the downtown core. Assets such as 1020 Maxwell — located within walking distance to festival venues and downtown amenities — stand to directly benefit from this long-term demand catalyst.The Maxwell Lofts is a trophy 9-unit multifamily asset located in the heart of Downtown Boulder, Colorado. Positioned in one of Boulder’s most desirable and supply-constrained residential neighborhoods, this property offers investors a rare opportunity to acquire a high-quality asset with substantial operational upside in a premier location. The building is comprised entirely of spacious 2-bedroom / 1-bathroom units, a highly sought-after floorplan in the Boulder market that appeals to roommates, young professionals, graduate students, and small families. Each unit benefits from central A/C, a rarity in many older Boulder assets, along with garage and off-street parking in the rear, further enhancing tenant demand and rent potential.
