Project Overview
ITDG completed the conversion of Vivo Living Longmont, transforming the former 210-room Best Western Plus Plaza Hotel at 1900 Ken Pratt Blvd into 210 residential apartments in Longmont, Colorado. The unit mix consists primarily of studio layouts with select one-bedroom floor plans, and notably includes 26 units designated as affordable housing under the city's inclusionary housing requirements.
Vivo Investment Group acquired the hotel in the fall of 2021 for $15.4 million and moved quickly into the conversion phase. The project was completed and entering its lease-up phase by mid-2022, supported by a $22.2 million recapitalization loan secured in June 2022 to retire construction financing. The rapid acquisition-to-completion timeline underscores the efficiency of the hotel-to-multifamily conversion model.
The property retained several former hotel amenities—including the pool, fitness center, outdoor lounges, and a game room—repurposed to serve permanent residents. Vivo Living Longmont continues to operate as a residential community, demonstrating ITDG's ability to deliver adaptive reuse conversions that preserve existing amenity infrastructure while creating quality workforce housing in growing Colorado Front Range markets.

How We Delivered
Project Objective
Converting a 210-room hotel into permanent residential housing required full unit-by-unit retrofits including kitchen installations, bathroom modernization, and finish upgrades across every floor. MEP systems designed for transient hotel occupancy needed comprehensive upgrades to support permanent residential loads. The project also carried inclusionary housing requirements from the City of Longmont, adding compliance complexity to 26 designated affordable units.
Our Approach
ITDG executed a systematic conversion of all 210 rooms, installing full kitchens and modernizing bathrooms in each unit while upgrading electrical and plumbing infrastructure building-wide. Existing hotel amenities—pool, fitness center, outdoor lounges, and game room—were preserved and adapted for residential use, reducing construction scope while maintaining community value. The efficient conversion timeline enabled the property to begin lease-up by mid-2022, just months after acquisition.
