Durham will start work June 19, replacing longtime executive  Martens, who will work on one of  BHP’s signature projects called Bringing School Home.

Durham has served as BHP’s director of real estate development since November 2015, was a senior development program manager at Denver Housing Authority prior to that, and was legal counsel and project manager for the Boulder County Housing and Human Services from 2010 to 2014.

As head of real estate development, Durham negotiated the acquisition of Tantra Lake Apartments, for conversion into a 185-unit mixed-income apartment community; the acquisition of Mount Calvary Lutheran Church, in partnership with Frasier, for development of new affordable senior apartment homes; and directed planning for Palo Park, a new affordable apartment community now under construction.

At the Denver Housing Authority, Durham managed land acquisition and planning for a 175-unit senior apartment community that will feature a first-floor health clinic and adult day center. He secured rights to develop a 72-unit affordable apartment community at the former Lowry Air Force Base.

Prior to that, Durham helped to structure and formalize the merger of the Boulder County Housing Authority and Boulder County Human Services Department into one organization. He also guided the merger of the Louisville Housing Authority into the Boulder County Housing Authority.
