The complex will be built in Denver's Northfield neighborhood.

In 19979, the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity made it their mission to provide affordable housing for seniors.

They opened Kappa Tower I five years later.

"I became chairman in 2015 and I said, 'Why haven't we built a second one?' So I made it my mission and my goal to build a second one and I told my boys if I didn't get it done in five years, I was quitting," said Larry A Williams, Chairman of the Board for Kappa Housing, Inc.

Phase one should open in a year, ready to house 80 to 90 seniors.
