This is located near what would be Hampden Ave & Harvest Rd, if those roads were built, which they probably won't be. I wonder if they will build houses right next to this. Probably not. So the whole gigantic area between Gun Club Rd on the east, Powhaton Rd on the west, Yale on the north, and Quincy on the south will probably be set aside as another giant wildlife preserve. This includes the Lowry Landfill, and the Pronghorn Natural Area. This is about 4 square miles.
Among its neighbors will be a residential neighborhood/golf course to the north, the former Plains Conservation Center (now an Aurora park) to the east across E-470, and the Arapahoe County Fairgrounds to the south, with the Aurora reservoir further south.
All this massive open space isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it will suck the energy out of city life. I'm sure there will be some very nice housing developments to the east, but they will be more boring urban sprawl, which again isn't a bad thing, if you are looking for a quiet place to raise kids. Who in their spare time can investigate the underground abandoned missile complex.
