Total Leasable Commercial sq. ft.: 13 million
Total Single Family Homes: 8,000
Total Rental Homes: 4,000
Project Challenges
One of the greatest challenges involved in the redevelopment of Stapleton has been the need for Forest City to coordinate and implement a range of development activities that are nearly unprecedented in their scope, due to the ambitious nature of this, one of the largest urban redevelopments in the nation. Forest City has coordinated the work of ten single family builders we selected to create housing that meets high standards for urban design and energy efficiency, while also being affordable to a wide range of incomes, including housing for "workforce" households that make 80% or less of the Area Median Income. At the same time, we are developing regional and neighborhood retail centers that are pedestrian-friendly and provide a diversity of opportunities for a variety of retailers, including small, minority and woman-owned businesses. And, we are managing the construction of $600 million in infrastructure and the development of more than 1,100 acres of new parks and open space on behalf of the Park Creek Metropolitan District.
The citizens of Denver are among the most active in the nation in their involvement with addressing issues of concern to their community. Forest City’s ability to work with numerous and diverse neighborhoods organizations and their elected officials in the vicinity of Stapleton has been absolutely essential to keep the redevelopment on track toward maximizing the opportunities available in Denver’s real estate market.
