Construction has reached the halfway point for a $145 million downtown East Village apartment tower with a twist.
Unlike many of its neighbors, the target market for Saint Teresa of Calcutta Villa are some of the same people who may now sleep in the shadows of the steel shell of the rising building – homeless or recently homeless individuals, veterans and families.
Reaching 14 stories at 14th and Commercial streets, Saint Teresa’s will include 407 apartments meant to provide permanent housing for more than 500 people.

Father Joe’s Villages unveiled an inspirational banner and a new fundraising campaign at its East Village campus Monday morning as the homeless service provider celebrated a milestone in the construction of its largest housing project.
“This is a momentous day for us,” Father Joe’s Village President and CEO Deacon Jim Vargas said about the topping-off ceremony for the Saint Teresa of Calcutta Villa, a 14-story building that will provide housing for more than 500 homeless people, doubling the number of units the nonprofit has in five other buildings. It is on schedule to open next February.
Topping-off ceremonies mark when the top floor of a construction project has been reached, with crews next working on the interior. The building has been slowing adding to the East Village skyline since construction began at the 14th and Commercial streets site in January 2020.

WOODLAND PARK • A ministry that began in 1997 in the garages of Pete Tysdal and the late Greg Schilling continues to help Teller County residents heat their homes during the winter.
“Greg had somebody come and cut the dead trees down and I went up in my ATV and pulled them out,” Tysdal said. The two delivered the fire wood to people in need.
Tysdal and Schilling, who founded Help the Needy, expanded the program and eventually attracted donations of logs from the Cripple Creek & Victor Mining Co.
For years, the volunteers, members of the Knights of Columbus at Our Lady of the Woods Catholic Church, chopped and collected wood donated by Teller County landowners. “We use splitters and cut the wood up with chain saws,” Tysdal said. “And we deliver the wood.”
