This is just the first of 6 different neighborhoods that will make up the Sky Ranch development.
FAQs:
Why is this called Sky Ranch? This used to be on the site of an old airfield with the same name.
What are the empty rectangular spaces to the west and south in the map? Unknown, apparently they are owned by other landowners and not part of the development.
Are they going to pave 6th Avenue as part of this development? Apparently the developer will pave about half of it, from the east edge up to Vandriver Way, next to the empty space to the south, but that's all. They are relying on the city to pave the rest of it. As a result, this is very hard to get to. The only way in is from Colfax south to Monaghan Road. So even though this is very close to the Adonea development, there is no direct way to get there.

Update: The original Sky Ranch was near what is now 32nd Parkway and Himalaya, north of I-70. There are two buildings still standing that used to be the hangars from the old Sky Ranch airfield, and there is a Sky Ranch Road in front of them.

There once was an East Colfax Airport, later renamed Aurora Airpark, on this land. I guess Sky Ranch sounds better than East Colfax Airport for a housing development.
