Westminster Uplands



The Westminster Castle was built in 1892 near 83rd and Federal.  It was purchased by the Pillar of Fire church in 1920 and used as a school.    There are 150 acres of farmland north of the building.  Now the church is selling the land to a developer who plans on building "2,350 apartments, townhomes and single-family detached homes along  with office, commercial, retail, civic and recreational areas".  Construction is supposed to begin in 2021 and take 15-20 years.  I think the castle will be preserved since it is a historic landmark.  There is a farmhouse and barn on the property which I am

This still seems like it is in the early planning stages and there are no maps of the proposed development.  The neighbors want to preserve the entire area as open space, but of course they don't want to pay for it.
