Background
The Commerce City Urban Renewal Authority purchased the property in August 2011, intent on redeveloping the site as an economic engine for a new generation. Demolition of existing structures was completed in 2013 to prepare the property for development. The Suncor Boys & Girls Club opened in 2015 on 2.5 acres of land donated by the CCURA to anchor the southeast corner of the redevelopment.
Project Vision
The community-supported vision for the site is a diverse mixed-use development that at full build out could create 1,454 permanent employees, generating $65.4 million in income on an annual basis.Development Goals
- Create a flexible, master framework plan
- Create a mixed-use and multi-use neighborhood
- Provide a variety of retail and commercial development options
- Create a community destination and sense of place
- Provide space for the Boys & Girls Club and other service organizations
- Hold a portion of the property for an institutional anchor while pursing development on the remainder of the property.
Master Developer
After entering into exclusive negotiations with REGen, LLC in March 2014 following a six-month competitive procurement process, the URA and City Council approved a master development agreement (MDA) in April 2016. The MDA was negotiated after thoughtful consideration of resident feedback, a theme which will continue to shape the Urban Renewal Plan that guides development for the site.Interested in Development Opportunities?
