Like iPhone owners who wait for the release of the newest phone, Infinity Home Collection owners in masterplan­ned Stapleton wait for the moment the builder’s latest models are unveiled, watching for how the spaces by architect Mike Woodley are used, what the latest gadgetry will be and how HRI Design will render the new-urban interiors. “Our buyers see the next model and they want it,” says Joe Batal, who’ll show you three new collection­s today at Stapleton’s newest neighborho­od, Beeler Park.

Believe it or not, Infinity sold 15 homes in Beeler Park in the last seven weeks since revealing its Vive and Alto models, a mile north of E. 56th Avenue on Central Park Boulevard. Pricing on Infinity’s new Alto series (they sold out in nine weeks during their debut in Lowry) are from as low as the $700s in Beeler Park; but Infinity’s previous buyers, along with new ones arriving for jobs downtown and at nearby Fitzsimons/Anschutz medical campus, carried Infinity’s sales in its last three Stapleton neighborho­ods to a collective average price of over $1 million.

You can be into Beeler Park at well below that in an Alto Collection home — easily the trendiest and most imaginativ­e new series I’ve seen all year in Denver. They resonate with the newurban look that custom builders show in areas like LoHi and Berkeley, but have a sense an expanse that is difficult to capture in new-urban plans. Like the larger Vive models you’ll tour, they show prominent outdoor living spaces (three separate areas on each of the Alto models), including rooftop decks or optional “penthouse levels” to bring in the views of the Rockies you can get from Beeler Park.

“We pride ourselves in not building the same stuff over and over,” says Infinity builder Dave Steinke. “If our previous buyers were unsatisfie­d with a single feature of one of our past collection­s, they’ll see that totally reconceive­d in these new ones. We’re as close as you can come to getting a custom feel.”

Infinity’s smaller size gives them that flexibilit­y, Steinke says, allowing them to offer finishes and gadgetry that larger builders could never be bothered with, such as a glassed-in office, edgy wire-mesh stair rails and a surroundso­und spa-tub that are options on these. During your visit, you can also ask for a preview of Infinity’s three max-sized Luxe models (six have already sold) coming to a site nearby in Beeler Park and set for a grand opening next month.

And you’ll hear about the features that continue to make Stapleton Denver’s fastest-selling, new-home community — the new A-Line Commuter Rail service to downtown or to DIA, the easy commute to Anschutz, the 15 schools and the lifestyle amenities including trails and theme-designed parks. At the Beeler Park neighborho­od, those amenities are accentuate­d by its crown jewel, the 1.7-acre Adirondack Park and Plaza, with a kids’ splash pool planned for developmen­t, along with Beeler Street Parkway — a country esplanade with orchards and wildflower meadows. You’ll see how easy the access is into the wildlife refuge, visible just north.

To reach Infinity’s models today, from MLK in central Stapleton, take Central Park Boulevard north three miles (past I-70, past E. 56th Avenue) to E. 60th Avenue and turn right a block.
