New multifamily community marks opening with local leaders and a $5,000 donation to animal welfare nonprofit MaxFund
Southern Land Company (SLC), an award-winning national real estate developer of master-planned, single-family, multifamily, and mixed-use communities, celebrated the official grand opening of its new 385-residence apartment and townhome community Arden Karl’s Farm at 1801 E. 121st Avenue on Tuesday, July 22.
Located on 12.25 acres within the Karl’s Farm master-planned community, Arden Karl’s Farm brings an amenity-rich, pet-friendly, hospitality-focused living experience to one of Colorado’s most accessible areas, while also delivering a modern farmhouse feel that acknowledges the site’s 65-year history as the home of Karl’s Farm Dairy, which operated from 1947 until 2012.
“Arden Karl’s Farm reflects our commitment to introducing new, unique housing options to Colorado,” said Brian Sewell, SLC President and COO. “We designed it to honor Northglenn’s agricultural heritage while creating spaces where residents can build meaningful connections and add convenience to their life. We are proud to introduce Arden Karl’s Farm to the exceptional master-planned community of Karl’s Farm and to the wonderful City of Northglenn.”
The grand opening celebration featured remarks from SLC leaders, including Sewell and Alex Woodin, Regional Manager, Development & Operations; Daniel Frank, President of KF Developers, Inc., the master developer of Karl’s Farm; and City of Northglenn Mayor Meredith Leighty. Attendees enjoyed a ceremonial toast, live entertainment, and guided tours of the community.
“Opening Arden Karl’s Farm is a major milestone for the greater Karl’s Farm master-planned community–it brings Karl’s Farm to 95% completion,” said Daniel Frank, President, KF Developers, Inc. “We set out to bring something special to Northglenn’s residential landscape, and this community delivers on that mission. Southern Land Company’s attention to detail shows in every aspect of Arden Karl’s Farm, and it’s exactly the kind of quality addition we wanted for both the Karl’s Farm development and the City of Northglenn.”
“The Karl’s Farm Master Plan set forth a strong community vision for this development, and Southern Land Company has honored that vision by thoughtfully embracing the area’s agricultural roots,” said City of Northglenn Mayor Meredith Leighty.” We are excited to welcome new residents to Northglenn as they begin to enjoy the unique amenities of Arden Karl’s Farm and the broader Karl’s Farm community.”
As part of its continued commitment to community-building and pet-friendly living, SLC also presented a $5,000 donation to MaxFund, a Colorado-based nonprofit dedicated to the care and adoption of injured, abandoned, and homeless animals. This donation will contribute to MaxFund’s largest fundraising effort of the year, which aims to ensure that thousands of animals in the community receive the healthcare and adoptive services they need to live long, healthy lives with loving families.
Currently, seven of Arden Karl’s Farm’s 19 residential buildings are complete and available for occupancy, and all of the community’s amenities are complete. Five additional residential buildings are on track to open by the end of July, and the final buildings, including a collection of modern townhomes, are expected to open this fall. The community includes a mix of 75 studios, 222 one-bedroom apartments, 62 two-bedroom apartments, and 14 three-bedroom apartments, plus 12 townhomes with private two-car garages across 19 residential buildings.
Arden Karl’s Farm offers modern amenities and sought-after community features, including:
- A resort-style pool with lounge areas, fire pit, and heated spa;
- A fully equipped clubhouse with coworking and entertainment spaces;
- A state-of-the-art fitness center;
- A bike shop, repair station, and ski tune area, providing added convenience for Colorado outdoor enthusiasts;
- A dog park (expected completion late summer 2025) and pet spa; and
- Monthly social and wellness programming for residents.
Additionally, Arden Karl’s Farm has 223 attached garage parking stalls, most of which are single-stall garages, plus 274 surface parking spaces, providing ample flexibility for residents. The townhomes will feature attached two-car garages. Select larger garages throughout the community offer additional storage capacity.
Arden Karl’s Farm is an ideal residential option for professionals, families, and remote workers alike who work in and outside of Denver and Boulder, along with those seeking a hospitality-focused home base for their adventurous lifestyles. The community is located just one mile from I-25 and puts residents within a 15-minute drive of downtown Denver, while Denver International Airport is a 25-minute drive. The community is also conveniently located within walking distance of the RTD Eastlake & 124th Avenue Station.
Arden Karl’s Farm follows several other successful SLC projects in the Denver and Boulder areas. SLC previously developed, owned, managed, and sold the mixed-use projects Bespoke Uptown in Denver and RÊVE Boulder in Boulder, as well as Centric LoHi, a multifamily community in Denver.
