Antelope Valley Apartments

Located just east of Downtown Lincoln, the Antelope Valley Apartments are a thoughtfully planned urban infill development that offers residents a more walkable, urban living experience. The project situates residents within walking distance of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s City Campus. Its adjacency to the Antelope Valley Trail system provides easy walking or biking access to nearby schools, public parks, grocery stores, employment centers, and dining or entertainment venues such as the Bob Devaney Sports Center and Lincoln’s emerging Telegraph District.

In addition to its walkability, the Antelope Valley Apartments also foster an inclusive sense of community. Offering a variety of market-rate unit configurations as well as a number of affordable units, the project contributes to the formation of an inclusive, mixed-income neighborhood near the core of Downtown Lincoln.

The overall development provides a total of 152 apartment homes ranging from studios to two-bedroom units, including ten lofted units that can be accessed directly from the exterior. The units are grouped into two separate buildings organized around a central courtyard. This central courtyard features a private swimming pool, outdoor lounge areas, and landscaped gathering spaces for resident use.

In order to maximize the amount of available space for outdoor amenities and green space, the project incorporates an underground parking garage. The garage offers covered parking for residents and can be accessed directly from the apartments above.

The Antelope Valley Apartments integrate into the surrounding context of the neighborhood through the use of warm tones, natural material accents, and integrated landscape elements. Taller portions of the development are also located along the Antelope Creek greenway while shorter portions are situated across from the existing neighborhood. This tiered approach to the project’s overall massing allows for greater density along the greenway and a more contextual scale where the project interfaces with the existing residential context.

Through careful consideration of its siting, use of materials, and connection to the existing context, the project creates a new housing community that complements the surrounding urban environment.
