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.
