Ribbon Cutting Opens Doors to 63-Unit Affordable Senior Housing Community in Denver
Cushing Terrell celebrates the ribbon cutting of Archdiocesan Housing, Inc. (AHI)/Catholic Charities-funded four-story, income-restricted housing complex for seniors in Denver, Colorado.
DENVER, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Multidisciplinary design firm Cushing Terrell, Palace Construction, IMEG Corp., and Terracon Consultants have cut the ribbon for the new Catholic Charities Housing-funded, four-story All Saints senior affordable housing development. Located at the corner of Federal and Vassar streets, the All Saints Apartments bring a much-needed income-restricted housing option for aging adults in Denver.
With developable land growing scarce in the Denver metro area, All Saints represents a growing trend of partnerships between public, private, and nonprofits/faith-based groups, offering a replicable model for future affordable housing developments. All Saints will exclusively serve residents earning below 60% of Area Median Income (AMI), directly addressing growing demand among some of the city’s most vulnerable residents.
“Working toward a Denver where everyone can afford to live means not leaving anyone behind, least of all those who have long called our city home,” said Denver Mayor Mike Johnston. “We’re proud to support projects like All Saints, which ensures seniors have a space that is not only affordable but beautiful and environmentally efficient.”
“This is important work we’re all doing for the people of the city of Denver, and Cushing Terrell is honored to be part of the team making it possible,” said Laura Dougherty, Cushing Terrell Denver Office Director. “It’s exciting to see the ribbon cut on the finished All Saints project, which has been a rewarding five-year partnership, helping to realize Monsignor Peter Quang Nguyen’s vision and meet a big community need.”
Designed for efficiency, affordability, and well-being, the new community maximizes unit count while ensuring individual living spaces retain views and ample daylight. Holistic resident health is further supported through common gathering spaces, counseling rooms, bike storage, and access to public transportation.
Learn more about the site selection and design solutions.
“The industry has been working to partner with local churches, turning unused land into community projects like affordable housing,” said Justin Raddatz, Vice President of Development for Catholic Charities Housing. ”The need for senior housing in Denver is critical, and the Archdiocese, Church of All Saints, and the City of Denver came together to make this a reality. With the help of Cushing Terrell and Palace Construction, this project shows what can be accomplished when public, private, and faith-based groups collaborate, and we hope it’s the first of many.”
“We’re delighted to be a part of another successful endeavor with Archdiocese Housing,” said Garth Geer, President of Palace Construction. ”The project is a great success, and I could not ask for a better team dynamic. The opportunities and services facilitated by All Saints are so important, and Palace is honored to do our part to provide safe and comfortable homes for residents.”
The project team is pursuing sustainable certification through the National Green Building Standard at the bronze level, which addresses energy, water, and resource efficiency as well as operations and quality of indoor environmental factors such as access to views and daylight, operable windows, and healthy materials.
The development includes 63 studio and one-bedroom, age- and income-restricted affordable apartments and dedicated spaces for supportive and community programming.

Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions
Insider transactions, although significant, should be considered within the larger context of market analysis and trends.
When discussing legal matters, the term “insider” refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company’s equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
Navigating the World of Insider Transaction Codes
When dissecting transactions, the focal point for investors is often those occurring in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Should You Forget Nvidia and Buy These 2 Millionaire-Maker Stocks Instead?
Some stocks can give you life-changing returns in the long run.
If you had invested $3,500 in Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) 20 years ago, you’d have a total return of $1.1 million by now. The rise of smartphones worked wonders for the empire Steve Jobs created.
The same $3,500 investment in October 2004 would be worth $1.9 million today if you had picked up some Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) stock instead. The serial innovator dominated video stores like Blockbuster into bankruptcy, then switched gears to deliver even richer gains with video-streaming services.
And a $3,500 investment in Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) would work out to a $4.7 million return in 20 years. The designer of graphics processing units (GPUs) and other number-crunching microchips caught fire in November 2022, earnings a 1,050% return in the last two years alone. Wall Street absolutely loves Nvidia’s leading role in the market for artificial intelligence (AI) processing hardware.
Those big gains already happened, though. I can’t go back in time and catch them again. This trio of proven millionaire-makers is still rising to new highs, but they probably won’t multiply many times over from this lofty plateau. It gets harder and harder to unleash big percentage gains from a massive market cap.
So Netflix, Apple, and Nvidia may be solid stocks if you’re looking for stable and robust long-term returns, and I own two of them with that mentality. However, they don’t seem likely to deliver game-changing growth again.
Tomorrow’s potential millionaire-makers may be small today, but they’re staring down a long runway of future growth and innovation. Many of today’s top growth stocks will fizzle and fail, but getting in on just one of these early stage opportunities can make you forget about the misses.
On that note, I can’t stop buying stock in Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) and Duolingo (NASDAQ: DUOL). These modest mid-cap stocks have truly wealth-building growth potential. I can’t promise millionaire-making returns, but Roku and Duolingo are two of my best bets in this category.
Duolingo is already on a roll. The language-learning expert has posted a 242% stock return in the last two years. Trailing twelve-month sales rose 87% over the same period while free cash flows (FCF) soared 553% higher. In other words, this little company is experiencing high-octane growth today and market makers are paying attention.
So Duolingo’s stock isn’t cheap. These shares are valued at 55 times FCF and 203 times earnings — lofty multiples even for a terrific growth stock.

Cancer Awareness: Why Putting Yourself First Isn't Selfish – It's Life-Saving And How This Weed Brand Is Supporting Survivors
Have you ever skipped an appointment because you were too busy? Because you felt guilty about taking time for yourself? Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) is a global campaign supported by numerous organizations, including the United Nations, observed annually in October that aims to increase awareness about the disease and promote early detection through screenings.
Breast cancer remains the most common cancer in women worldwide, with millions of new cases every year, it’s the leading cause of cancer deaths among women globally.
However, many of these deaths could be prevented through early detection and treatment. Early-stage breast cancer has a 5-year survival rate of 99%, while this number drops significantly for later-stage diagnoses, underscoring the life-saving power of regular check-ups.
- Get Benzinga’s exclusive analysis and the top news about the cannabis industry and markets daily in your inbox for free. Subscribe to our newsletter here. You can’t afford to miss out if you’re serious about the business.
Preventable Deaths
The World Health Organization (WHO) states that early detection and timely treatment are crucial in reducing breast cancer mortality, with survival rates significantly improving in early-stage diagnoses. Access to mammograms and appropriate treatment can increase survival rates by up to 90%. However, socioeconomic barriers often lead women to delay or avoid check-ups.
The Taboo Of Check-Ups
Despite the importance of regular check-ups, many people avoid them due to societal pressures and taboos. In some cultures, discussing health concerns like breast exams can be uncomfortable, and individuals often deprioritize their health in favor of responsibilities like family care or work-life balance.
Why This Is A Gender Issue
Gender inequality plays a role in healthcare costs, as women often face financial barriers due to lower incomes and caregiving responsibilities. In 2020, cancer care in the U.S. cost $183 billion, with breast cancer being a major contributor. These financial challenges disproportionately impact women, making timely access to care more difficult.

Why Check-Ups Matter
Early detection through routine check-ups can save lives, yet the fear of receiving bad news, time constraints and societal expectations can delay those vital screenings. Health often takes a backseat due to the pressures of daily life—whether it’s balancing work, caregiving, or other responsibilities. It’s essential to recognize that prioritizing one’s health is not selfish – it’s necessary.
To ensure early detection of breast cancer, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and follow general guidelines from trusted organizations such as the American Cancer Society and WHO. Regular clinical breast exams are essential and monthly self-exams can help detect lumps, skin changes, or other unusual symptoms.
Her Highness’ BOOBYLICIOUS
Her Highness, a women’s cannabis lifestyle brand, is donating 20% of proceeds from its limited-edition BOOBYLICIOUS cannabis-infused pre-rolls to support post-mastectomy reconstruction through My Hope Chest, an organization that provides reconstructive surgery for breast cancer survivors without financial means.
Co-founder Allison Krongard, a breast cancer survivor, says she hopes the initiative will offer healing and support to women on their journey.
This initiative serves as a reminder that taking care of health should be a priority, and supporting causes like BOOBYLICIOUS highlights the importance of healthcare equity and early detection. BOOBYLICIOUS is available at select NY dispensaries.
