Stapleton Section 10

Stapleton Section 10

Stapleton Section 10 is the square mile (actually 534 acres) of now-vacant land bordered by Central Park Blvd/Yosemite St to the West, 64th Ave to the north, and Havana St to the east.  It will be mostly residential, with a lot of open space and parks, and a small area of mixed-use/commercial.  Victory Crossing, which I have mentioned earlier, will be to the west.

"Upon full development, the Section 10 land plan will support about 2,500 residential units, 245,000 square feet of retail, 28,000 square feet of office space, and provide 176 acres of open space. Section 10 will ultimately create a vibrant live-work community with about 7,000 residents and 600 jobs and serve as an extension of the development south of 56th Avenue."

Here is what it looks like now:
Dallas & 56th Ave, looking north

What I find very interesting is that the northern residential block, labeled "RES-49" on the map, will be surrounded on 3 sides by wilderness and on the south by open space.  There may be coyotes or deer roaming around.  There are also several lakes to the east, but they may be contaminated with toxic waste.  Hopefully, they have all been cleaned up by now.

Also, can someone please find a better name for this project?
