COLORADO | Front Range Development Thread #2
http://beyonddc.com/nonweb/forSSP/frontrangethread2.png
After more than 8 long years, the original Front Range development thread has reached 10,000 posts. It's therefore time to start a new one. First, one quick question At the tail end of the last thread, Zmapper suggested splitting this up into separate threads for the northern Front Range (Ft Collins, Boulder) and southern (Colorado Springs, Pueblo). What's the feeling of the group? Should we? While we're on the subject, do people feel non-Front Range things like Grand Junction belong here? What about Denver suburbs? Do they go here or in the Denver thread? I'm happy taking a laissez-faire approach and just letting whatever happens happen, but if the rest of you want to define the thread more stringently, or split it into multiple threads, or whatever, now's a good time to have that discussion. And if there's a strong feeling one way or the other, I'll rename/close/split/whatever this thread as needed. |
First.

Agreed, it's working just fine the way it is. I don't think it needs to include Denver suburbs, but occasionally when it happens, it's not the end of the world. No change needed.

I changed my mind. I want a Pueblo-centric thread.

Well, I guess stuff does go on in Colorado Springs, and something good for once:

I'm almost surprised that Arizona wasn't considered... or maybe they were along with several other states that got a look-see but didn't make the cuts. Arizona actually has more aerospace/defense workers than Colorado but not by a lot as this sector has shrunken quite a bit, especially as Honeywell has moved jobs to Mexico and Eastern Europe, for example. Certainly not as impressive as South Carolina winning the new Boeing production facility but this could become the nexus for a nice industry cluster, hopefully. What's good for Co. Springs is good for the State and for Denver as the financial/sports/transportation and cultural center of the state. |

From the article: Quote:
2 runways, both 8,000' x 100'. Weight bearing capacity on runway 17/35, the stronger of the 2 runways: Single wheel: 34.0 Double wheel: 75.0 Colorado Springs Airport: 3 runways, largest being 17R/35L at 11022' x 150'. Weight bearing capacity of 17R/35L: Single wheel: 75.0 Double wheel: 175.0 Double tandem: 340.0 Dual double tandem: 750.0 Denver International Airport: 6 runways of at least 12,000' x 150'. Weight bearing capacity on all runways: PCN 92 /R/B/W/T Single wheel: 116.0 Double wheel: 240.0 Double tandem: 515.0 Dual double tandem: 1085.0 Only 2 of those airports could land a 747, and only 1 of them was able to provide "$357 million in incentives [from] the city of Colorado Springs and by El Paso County." (per the article). The article did not mention if Denver provided any incentives for something that would fit nicely in at the airport city. |

Really, why would you build commercial infrastructure at Front Range when DIA's cargo area is about 10 miles away? |

Now that the Denver Suburban thread has been officially closed - a fine idea I might add - this thread is designated as being inclusive of the Denver Suburbs. Delighted for the clarification; thank you seventwenty.
I started out earlier to figure out how much new apartment construction was going on in the Denver suburbs. I wasn't interested in Boulder County or Douglas County but rather everything in between. So far I've found is the 300 unit Alta Cherry Hills at 3650 So. Broadway which is in the completion phase and the 250 unit Meadows at Platte Canyon under construction. In Lakewood there's The Zephyr Line Apartments near the Wadsworth light-rail stop which is to be 95 affordable apartment. There's also the 267 unit Union West apartments near the Federal light-rail station. In Arvada there's the 153 unit Park Place Olde Town project. Centennial had a 300 unit apartment recently completed at 7700 E. Peakview. In Aurora there's.... crickets. I could have missed some and I know there's TOD plans in Adams County but clearly there's few apartments being built outside of the City of Denver at this time. |
