Rida Development Corp., the lead developer behind Gaylord, late last year purchased 130 acres near Gaylord for $9.23 million, according to the Colorado Real Estate Journal. The swath of land is near Himalaya Road and East 64th Ave. Wendy Mitchell, president and CEO of the Aurora Economic Development Council, said the plan for the land is to build additional hotels, retail business and restaurants.
She has described it to some as being like Town Center at Aurora Mall, times two, stacked end to end. But even using that local landmark — albeit one dwarfed by Gaylord — probably doesn’t do it justice, she said. “I don’t think people can visualize how big that is,” she said.

Commentary: Could this be a future "downtown" for Aurora? The Aurora City Center is not happening, even with light-rail. The Gaylord Hotel will be 14 stories tall, and could attract other mini-high-rises.

Monterey Pointe development
At a regular meeting Jan. 23, council members unanimously approved an ordinance calling for the rezoning of about 26 acres of land along East Colfax Avenue between Sable Boulevard and Chambers Road, which is where Northstar Commercial Partners, a Denver-based development firm, is eyeing the construction of some 50,000-square-feet of retail space, 90 affordable living units specifically for military veterans and as many as 150 town homes.

The ditch through the middle is known as Granby Ditch.
The adjacent K-Mart at Colfax and Chambers is likely to close later this year when Sears declares bankruptcy and it will need to be repurposed as well.

Get Over the Colfax Clover
The Colfax Cloverleaf at Federal and W. Colfax takes up 29 acres of land. It is an oddity because neither boulevard is a freeway. There are proposals to tear it down and go back to having a grade-level intersection and reuse the land.

Infinite Monkey Theorem
The Infinite Monkey Theorem is branching out this month in Colorado, adding a location to the Stanley Marketplace in Aurora.
The winery announced Monday that it’s taking over the old breakroom of the former Stanley Aviation manufacturing plant. IMT will use the space in the Stanley Marketplace to sell its Colorado canned and bottled wines.
