Aurora is making strides in expanding its affordable housing options with the groundbreaking of Atria at Metro Center Station.

Atria at Metro Center will feature 222 apartments, with a mix of one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, and amenities such as a pocket park, clubroom, theater, business center, beauty salon, and fitness center. This development is Dominium’s first in Aurora and is expected to open in December 2025. Situated across from the Aurora Municipal Center, the units will dedicated for seniors aged 55 and over, with incomes between 30 to 70% of the Area Median Income.

The project is a significant part of Aurora's commitment to increase accessible housing through the Community Investment Financing Program, which offers gap financing to developers. This initiative supports the construction and preservation of affordable housing within the city.

Developed by Dominium and Managed by Alicia Arkulary-Montoya, Aurora’s Housing and Community Development Manager, and supported by notable team members Sarah A. Carroll, Ph.D. (ABD), MPA, Bianca Lopez, and led by Rodrigo Dorador, Atria at Metro Center is a prime example of effective collaboration and investment in community welfare. This development not only addresses the urgent need for affordable senior housing but also leverages strategic funding mechanisms such as Private Activity Bonds and HOME funds to ensure project feasibility and success.
