Steel Canyon Apts
100-unit garden apartment community

PUEBLO, Colo. — Northmarq's Denver Debt + Equity team led by Mark Jeffries arranged $8.8 million in permanent fixed-rate financing for Steel Canyon Apartments, a 100-unit garden apartment community located at 85 Scotland Rd. in Pueblo, Colorado.

Northmarq arranged financing on behalf of the borrower, Royal Plaza Apartments, LLC, through the firm's in-house Fannie Mae DUS platform. The transaction was structured on a seven-year term.

“By leveraging the asset’s strong performance post-renovation, we we’re able to provide 80% leverage at a low-5’s interest rate with a long interest-only period,” Jeffries said.

Built in 1970 and renovated in 2024, Steel Canyon Apartments offers studio, one- and two-bedroom floorplans across a well-maintained garden-style community. Units include renovated interiors with updated kitchens and bathrooms. Community amenities include a central courtyard with a swimming pool, outdoor picnic areas with grilling stations and on-site laundry facilities. The property is managed by Griffis Blessing, one of Colorado's largest multifamily property management firms.

Steel Canyon is situated near the intersection of Highway 50 and Highway 47 in northern Pueblo, within close proximity to Pueblo Mall, King Soopers, Walmart Supercenter and a range of dining and retail options. Colorado State University-Pueblo is also nearby, and the property offers convenient access to Interstate 25, connecting residents to Colorado Springs and the broader Front Range.
