Skye 2905 Urban Flats

I have lived at Skye for over a year now. I just transferred units and would like to recognize Carla for her outstanding service! She is professional, friendly, helpful, and always willing to explain anything and answer any questions. She made my transition a breeze! It’s nice to live in a community where the staff are friendly and genuine.

I really can’t imagine anywhere that would be better unless you owned, or rented an actual house. The only complaint I could think of would be the lack of having a yard. If you’re looking for a complex with the nicest people, quality layouts and additional facilities (gym, pool, community center) that are actually thought through, this is the spot. The gym is updated constantly, the community center has all the tv’s you’ll need to watch your 4 best sports teams, plus a pool table and grill outside. The pool is heated and open year round, accompanied by a year round hot tub.
The designs of the units are sweet, and there are plenty of them. It does not feel cramped, and it seems super competitive with the pricing surrounding us. Directly downtown is so nice, especially having a brand spanking new grocery store across the street. I enjoy living in a place that actually has marble tops in the kitchen and bathroom. Most previous places have marble looking particle board, but Skye actually took the extra step to be classy.
All in all everything in Denver is expensive, so why not choose a place that welcomes you and shows the ability to care? Skye is somewhere I will recommend skye my closest friends.

I loved living here! In the last 5 years I’ve lived in this complex twice. Two major things for me that keep me returning is the office staff and how dog friendly the complex is. Yes you pay a premium to live downtown, but it’s like that in any building in the area. The thing that really sets them apart is how much they do for the residents (activities, outings, happy hour etc.) and how welcoming they are to our furry friends. The office staff has always gone above and beyond for me. Dropping off packages when I wasn’t going to be home till after the office closed, even as far as to check on my dog when she was sick. It’s nice to live in a community where you really feel like the management genuinely cares, and it’s not just a job for them. I would continue living there if I wasn’t moving out of state. In all honesty I’ll probably move back there at some point.
Oh, and ask for Carla when you go to the leasing office. She really is the best!

Don’t live here. The maintenance staff is slow to fix a simple maintenance request. It took them 2 days to replace my smoke detectors… place reminds me of a college dorm. Loud music being played throughout the night, keeping me up when I have to work. The hallways are dirty with dog poop, throw up. Tenants running through the hallways on tone weekends.
You can everything your neighbors are saying… thin walls.
Breaking my lease to get away from this place.
I would give this place 0 stars if possible.

Just moved out of Skye 2905 and it’s bittersweet. My fiancée and I have loved living here over the last year. Beautiful building, great location, and outstanding customer service. Reading through these reviews, it confuses my why anyone could make negative remarks about the management team. I wonder if these angry reviewers are even talking about the same building? The management and the front desk team have always been very friendly and have bent over backwards to make sure our needs were met. They rock!
However, there are two reasons that Skye hasn’t earned a full 5-​star rating from me:
1) bang for your buck, and 2) risk of theft in the area.
There are many places that will allow your dollar to go further, but I suppose that’s a reflection of the market/​part of town rather than the building itself. There are also lots of hidden costs and add-​ons (i.e. parking, storage, etc.) that are not included in the rent. We are now in a 2-​bedroom house with a yard near the Wash Park area and are paying $ 700 less per month than we were paying at Skye 2905.
To address the theft issue, I had several things stolen during my year at Skye. One was an $ 800 set of tires, and the other was a package stolen off my doorstep (which to my understanding, is a common occurrence in this building). Somebody also took a grinder to my U-​Lock and came within seconds of stealing my bike out of the garage, before they presumably got walked up on. The place seems to be rampant with people who don’t understand the idea of personal property.
Overall, despite those two minor grievances, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Skye 2905! If you can afford it and don’t mind putting your valuables in storage, this is an excellent place to live downtown.

I have lived at Skye for almost 2 years. The office staff is for the most part helpful and competent, but there is a lot of turnover so every few months there’s a bunch of new faces. There is unfortunately a lack of communication between the management and the tenants. For example, last week all the elevators where out of service, and it would have been nice if they simply sent out a quick email notice letting everyone know this fact.
There’s also a lack of general maintenance throughout the complex. For example, most of the exterior door handles are damaged or in need of replacement and the parking garage doors are often left open leaving the garage unsecured.
Except for the main entrance, there an awe full odor of dog urine from people letting their dogs urinate near the entrances. Every once in a while you’ll see dog poop in the hall way left behind by one of the many irresponsible tenants. There is no enforcement whatsoever of the dog lease rules. Dogs run loose all the time even in front of the staff.
The small cleaning crew does a satisfactory job keeping the building clean, but there are many areas that go unkept seemingly for months on end.
The gym while nice, has been in need of maintenance for a while. It seems as if nothing is done in the way of maintenance unless something breaks, and even then the repair time is several months.
My fellow tenants are mostly friendly and enjoyable, but there are people who have absolutely zero respect for the people living around them, and there are times where I feel as though I’m living in a frat house.
I wish I could give Skye 2905 a good review, but my experiences over the last 2 years have left me no choice.
Do better Skye 2905.

I moved into this place March of 2015 and the only complaint i could possibly have is that the train sometimes wakes me up at night. I have grown accustom to it now. The girls that work the front desk are super friendly. The amenities are great, pool, gym, free monthly events (including free yoga, happy hour trivia, cupcakes and mimosas at the pool). I can’t complain. I enjoy living here =]

Maybe the worst apartment complex I’ve lived in Denver. Lived in about 8 places over the last 10 years. They are all about money and nothing else. Treadmills were broken for 13 months before they realized they should probably buy new ones. I was told they were the front desk’s «number one priority» yet of the 4 people who work there, no one did anything about it for months. Hot tub, garage door, and work out machines were always broken. Twice had packages that «were not there» at the desk that the employees «found» weeks later in the back of their storage room. However, if you are a week late on rent they file eviction notices on you. If it’s about them, they are all about it, if it’s about you — don’t expect a thing from them. There were a couple weeks where the fire alarms continuously would go out and pierce your ears at 3:00 a.m. and all you’d get was a one sentence email the next day apologizing — after you lose all your sleep. The trash chutes are constantly overflowed since they won’t pay to have it picked up — expect garbage smelling hallways. There was a sexual assault in one of the apartments while I lived there — and they hired a rent-​a-​cop to walk around for about 2 hours a day as «protection». They nickel and dime you for everything — and wouldn’t dream of doing you a favor for anything.

Note: Being reviewed as the boyfriend of a tenant.
My girlfriend lives alone (with her puppy) here and she certainly pays a pretty penny to do so, especially since her rent was just increased $ 200+/monthly this past month, but she loves it and there and many reasons why that is I see!
These reasons include that her unit is spacious, beautiful and well-​designed, her parking space is covered and easy to access, her neighbors are either quiet or friendly and lastly, she feels safe — which is important to me. But most importantly for her, Skye 2905 is very dog friendly! From the amount of others that have dogs in the building to the wonderful gated (small) doggy park for her ‘lil man to go potty off the leash, this is a great place to live with a dog if you also want to live downtown.
All and all, Skye 2905 is expensive but the location and package you get is right in line. You pay for what you get, and she gets a very nice place to live in for the high price here. If you want to live downtown, alone, with a dog, with covered parking, with a pool, gym, etc. and feel safe… it’s gonna cost you and 2905 Skye is a solid option in comparison to it’s nearby competitors.
And I really like the (highly) convenient store on the bottom level and am looking forward to the new bars and restaurants coming soon down the block!

I had few complaints until the fire alarms started going off regularly, often during the night and repeatedly in the same night. I am frustrated at the disruption to sleep and waste of time that this has been — it has been an issue for months, with no compensation to residents for the enormous disturbance.

Email sent building management: Dog attacked
I would like to file a formal complaint concerning the pet policy. Per the last email (03/​18/​2014) and the rental contract from skye 2905, my understanding is residents pets must be on a leash when in public areas. This evening (06/​27/​2014) at aprox 930 pm I attempted to walk my dog through the court yard and not to my surprise there was a dog (black lab I believe) by the name of Remy (off the leash) that ran up to my leashed dog and began to attack. The other owner did attempt to call his dog however we could not break the dogs up until they calmed down. The owner and I exchange a few heated words about his dog not on a leash and he went about his evening.
This is not a isolated event as any time of day I attempt to utilize the public areas there are several dogs running freely throughout the areas of the gated grill /​firepit, club house and computer business and the halls (possible stray black cat roaming the 3^rd floor halls) center during business hours (in front of management) and after hours.
The fees and rent I pay are to include my pet and use of the public areas yet this has been limited due to the lack of acknowledgment of the rental agreement and responsibility of management on the policies.
My dog was not hurt during this attack however I can only wonder about the next time. As a long time resident I am amazed how this building has changed over the years and I am not please. I’m doubtful my concerns will be addressed as some management does not seem to be concerned with pets roaming the halls, animal feces in the halls, stairwells and elevator. I am not proud to call or recommended Skye 2905 as a home. Things need to change as there are several new properties coming on the market Skye will not be my 1^st choice.
I moved into Skye during construction and thought this build would be great to call home. However the lack of managing the building, residents and general upkeep of the building has gone down, and has become the pits of LoDo.
Tonight was just the push I needed to help me realize there is a need for change. I am a responsible pet owner knowing my dog does not get along with every dog she meets and I keep my animal on a leash for that reason. However if there was a spot check anytime of day on animals running freely and asked a pet owner about the off leash policy. they would think this is the norm. I will wait for a response however I will post my review to Unilocal without remorse as I am giving up on this building due to several issues that are outstanding. Jon S

Dog lovers paradise. Good location in downtown Denver. Terrible, rude, useless front desk/​leasing staff. Friendliest and extremely hardworking cleaning crew. Lots of young «professionals» who haven’t yet left the college mentality even though they’re mid 20’s. Be ready to yell at drunk, loud kids stumbling home from market street every weekend. Oh, and the daily trains may as well be in your living room if you leave any windows open. All in all, it’s an ok place to live for a year if you don’t know where you want to settle down in Denver. Be ready to shell out beaucoup bucks.

I am not a person that usually writes reviews, just a disclaimer! However, the staff at the Skye 2905 has went out of their way on multiple occasions, so I think it is important for me to do the same. Not only did they ensure that I had the easiest move-​in I’ve ever encountered, the move-​in conditions were spectacular and every question or need that I addressed with them was taken care of at an instant. I moved in after foot surgery, so naturally I thought I was awaiting an awful move! Quite the contrary, I enjoyed moving in.
Since moving into the Skye 2905 I cannot stress enough how the front desk staff has helped me learn about ways that they are dedicated to helping us as residents. I have been invited to countless resident events and out of the ordinary, have even attended!
The most important thing that I can tell anybody about moving in here, is that the staff, from top to bottom, has respect for everyone that walks through their doors. They are quick to help when nobody else is watching and they have quite possibly the most cohesive team I have seen in years! Thank you guys for making this place the most phenomenal place in Denver!

DO NOT LIVE HERE.
This is by far the most overpriced apartment complex in Denver for what you get:
1) Loud, Messy tenants (mainly drunk college students)
2) Horrible front desk service. The ladies that sit behind the front desk are usually either not there or not paying attention to anyone else but each other.
3) THE TRAIN. Oh my god, the train. Seriously if you like living in a place constantly bombarded by the sound if screeching metal, go right ahead.
4) Waste management. For some reason, the trash chutes are almost always never clear of debris, which consequently makes the surrounding hallways smell of old garbage.
5) Maintenance. It seems that every time something is broken, it takes weeks to replace. For example, key readers, garage doors, elevator buttons, pool, (My AC was out for 3 days before they got someone to come out and fix it during the middle of the summer), .etc.
6) Pool. It’s like a frat party every weekend in the summer. People drinking and smoking all over the place like a bunch of high schoolers.
7) Parking. If you have a roommate, extra $ 125 a month for another parking spot. No roommate? Good luck trying to get friends to come visit you when you know they won’t be able to park on the street haha.
8) Management in general screws you. Believe me, they will try to squeeze every last penny out of you when you terminate your lease. Anywhere from obscure cleaning fees to carpet removal costing you well over your deposit amount. The assistant manager, Caswyn Stiles, is probably the most unreasonable person on the face of this earth when it comes to moving out fees.
I would give this a 0 if I could, but sadly Unilocal doesn’t allow such anarchy. Please take my advice and don’t end up in the same extremely unhappy living situation that I did.

Worst built apartment complex I have ever lived in and also the most expensive. I just love hearing the people above me do everything. Go to the bathroom, sing, talk, yell, slam every cabinet door, roll bowling balls across the floor, do laundry, vacuum everyday, and my favorite… open and close the patio door repeatedly every 2 minutes for hours. What in the world are they doing up there??? My bedroom is the only place it is quiet and now I get the people beside me who like to play music, sing, and play the guitar. I can’t win. I’ve lived in a lot of places and it has never been this bad. Its not really their fault, but they can control some of the noise. The office did offer to let me move free of charge but nothing was available that I wanted, it was a hassle to move again and at my expense and they were going to make me sign a new lease. I’ll never make it to the end of my current lease. Searching now to buy a home to get out of here. As far as others saying this place isn’t clean… I work from home a lot and see the cleaning lady literally every other day. Cleanest place I’ve ever lived. Maintenance requests are always taken care of right away. But the structure has made this the worst living experience possible. The train is nothing compared to what happens above me.

READ BEFORE YOU SIGN A LEASE! (I would have given zero stars if able)
Where to begin…
1. No Parking –Sucks if you like to have people over. During the Rockies season forget about finding parking on the street ever.
2. Loud train right behind complex — Will definitely wake you up.
3. Upkeep at the complex is non-​existent. Door handles, railing, elevators, etc. are often broken. Dog piss and crap is usually everywhere inside and outside of the complex.
4. Management seems «nice» unitl you have to deal with them… A bunch of pretty girls that have no clue what’s going on.
5. Maintence is slow — If something goes wrong, don’t expect it to be fixed any time soon.
5. Employees and Managers seem to change frequently.
6. Outrageously expensive for what you get. Don’t let the granite counter tops fool you! All other hardware, appliances, and features in the apartment are of cheap quality. Things will most likely break and need fixed on a regular basis.
7. Behringer Harvard is a huge/​mega corporate residential management group. They do not care about you individually. They care about $$$ only.
8. Hot tub is frequently not on. Why would a place put one in if it’s not useable?
9. Pool sucks during the summer. Some of the trashy residents invite all of their trashy friends and it’s just like the Jersey Shore all over again. The sun is only out for 4 – 5 hours at the pool because it hides behind the building most of the day.
10. Work out room is always super crowded after work.
11. Not to mention numerous situations and events that took place that were more than a headache to fix/​resolve.
Ex. apartment flooded and they ripped up carpet/​would not replace, then tried to charge me for it when I moved out (all damage was from the flood), A/​C went out a couple of times, they would not replace the water filter in the fridge, pipes under the kitchen sink would leak and get water all over the floor, etc., etc.
I’ll just stop there.
Note: I am really shocked that some people actually gave this place 3 or 4 stars. They must have been living at a different Skye 2905 in Denver…
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

I’ve lived at Skye for almost two years, and I’ve been pretty happy. Remember to consider the part of town you’re in if you come to look. The train is going to make noise, and there’s going to be very little parking; I’ve never had much of a problem, personally, but it might not be for you.
The amenities are nice, and the staff is friendly and helpful. I’ve got a 5^th floor apartment facing 20^th Street, and it’s comfortable and spacious. I haven’t had any major maintenance issues, but the requests I’ve had have been completed within 24 hours. I also like that the weekday office hours are 10 – 7, which allows me to visit after work if I need to.
My main complaint is the rising prices, which is ultimately why I’m leaving at the end of my lease. I know that Denver is a hot rental market, but I wish that quality tenants such as myself would be allowed to renew at the same price. I’m sure some distant corporate overlord is just trying to milk frat kids with too much money, but being forced out is never a good feeling.

I lived at Skye for over 3 years (July 2010 to July 2013), so I’d say I have a pretty darn good view about Skye. Ultimately I’d give Skye a 4.3 to 4.5 out of 5 stars.
1^st of all, the extreme negative reviews are just stupid to see, plain and simple.
Yes, you do at times have loud neighbors, yes you do beer bottles, yes you do have stuff that are broken at times. But you’re going to get that anywhere whether you live in downtown, the suburbs or anywhere else. I personally think that Skye has done a pretty darn good job for the most part cleaning up, fixing things and just the overall upkeep in/​around the community.
I lived in 3 different apartments while I lived at Skye. 1^st apartment was near the train, and yes, that did suck, especially at first. Yes it was loud, yes the train shook the apartment building, but then you just got used to it and it was fine, it didn’t bother me. I actually have a friend that lives as close as you can to the tracks on the 1^st floor and it doesn’t bother her at all, and it’s gotten better over the years.
2^nd apartment was pool side. That was nice, you could hear the train some what, but very lightly, nothing that bothered me. Downfall is during the summer time on mainly Saturday’s at times it did get kind of loud, so it was tough to take a nap during the day.
3^rd apartment was an awesome view of downtown, 4^th floor, just below their show apartment. It was a nice view of downtown, nice layout etc. The only negative was noise late Friday/​Saturday nights, but I just ended up drowning the noise out by a fan, and that’s all it took.
The amenities are pretty good. Yes, at times they failed, but for the most part there was no issue.
Maintenance issues, were always quickly taken care of, usually within 12 – 24 hours time. I think in the 3 years I only had 1, maybe 2 issues.
The thing I always liked about Skye is the immediate area. While it’s technically in downtown, but you don’t have that downtown feel (i.e. no bums, no bs etc). I was born and raised in a small city before moving to Denver and I never ever felt unsafe in and directly in the immediate area. Another thing that I liked about Skye is the people that worked there, they were always friendly etc. So those negative reviews about the employees are just stupid.
The things I didn’t like about Skye, is some of the residents. I wish they were more selective on who they let in… meaning mainly the personality of the people. If they looked like a dbag that would be a rodent to the community, they shouldn’t have accepted them, plain and simple. The only other thing I didn’t like is the rent increases. As a single person in a 1 bedroom apartment, that’s what ultimately did me in for not renewing for a 4^th year.
If you’re a couple looking for a 1 bedroom, move in at Skye, hands down. It’s very affordable for a couple. If you have a roommate and looking for a 2 bedroom place (and not a dbag or would be a rodent to the community), move in at Skye, hands down.

While the apartment is nice, it stops there. tenant services are beyond poor. The pool was closed the entire month of July. The hot tub has not worked since. They can’t even stock coffee cups for the machine or toilet paper in the public bathrooms.
DO NOT rent an apartment on the 20^th st. side if you like fresh air and want your windows open every now and then or on the train side for that matter.
My neighbor moved out recently and the fire alrm constinetly beeped keeping me from sleeping. called the emergency help number 3 times and knowone showed up and stopped it till i went to the office the next day and yelled at them. they could care less about you.
Had a friend 5 days late giving his 60 day notice and the raked him over the coals… think twice before moving here as well strongly consider the distance between your apartment and your parking spot. you could basically be walking blocks. especially not fun when grocery shopping. CAN“T WAIT TO MOVE OUT!!!

Well I just moved out yesterday, and thought I’d update my review.
My biggest complaint about this place is how big it is. So before u move in. I recommend driving to your parking spot. And walking to the apartment. Pay attention to how long it takes you. Because your going to be doing it several times a day. I was on the 5^th floor, so it took me 5 minutes to get up or down the parking garage. And then my apartment was the farthest from the garage, so I had to walk down a mile long hallway.
I seriously use to take a load of groceries to the apt then grab my bike and ride to my car to get the rest in the baskets. Also I have a dog, so I had to walk pretty far to the elevator to take him out.
The staff is fantastic, they even know my dogs name.
Amenities are great. Especially now that the pool is done. The gym has everything. I routinely use the dog wash and have had friends staying in the «guest suite» which is not a true suite, there’s only a bed, no couch, dining space, or kitchenette.
I did not live by the train, and never heard that. In the summer we slept with the windows open and ya there were some drunk singers and screamers. Usually on the weekends.
The activities they do are so much fun. They give away Rockies tickets, discounted nuggets, and my favorite was going to red rocks movie night in a party bus. That was $ 20 but we got food, some drinks, and VIP seating.
I had an apartment with wood floors, and I melted one of the planks… Long story. But I thought I was going to have to pay $ 100’s. Nope they came and replaced that and changed my light bulbs.
Overall, I LOVED it. Just wish I had a more conviently located apartment. Good luck
