Denver Connection

Denver Connection will include 284 single-family homes and 414 attached townhomes over the 115-acre site. Forty of those acres will be designated as open space, including a 10-acre park maintained by Denver Parks and Recreation.

Note that this article was written in 2016 and the development has now mostly been completed.  I like the small series of parks along where Laredo Street should be.

I wrote about this previously in What do you do with a problem like Chambers and Green Valley Ranch Boulevard?

My complaint about this is why does it have so much open-space.  After all, this is right next to the Pena Blvd corridor and is close to the mother-of-all-open-spaces Rocky Mountain Arsenal.  The areas marked as "Future Proposed Retail" and "Mixed-Use" have not been developed and remain vacant land.

The large oval park (intersected by another small oval park) in the bottom middle looks cool, but it hasn't been built yet.
