Denver Architect, Roland Wilson

Venture Architecture started with a business model much like Denver architect, Roland Wilson's.  Wilson, who passed away last month at the age of 83, "bought land, brought in investors, designed the building, and often retained part ownership", according to this Denver Post article: "Early Denver apartment Designer...".  Wilson, who designed an incredible 6,000 units in his lifetime, was one of the first architects in Denver to offer amenities such as indoor pools and game rooms, which are now common in multi-story apartment buildings.  He will be remembered for his innovation as a developer, and by the mark he left on Denver's skyline.
