DENVER, Feb 23, 2012 -- Forest City announced today it has sold a site for an office and training facility in Stapleton’s Enterprise Park to the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters.

John S. Lehigh, president of Forest City Stapleton, Inc., master developer for the former airport, said the 13 acre parcel of land is on the north side of 40th Avenue, directly west of the Enterprise Park buildings housing other tenants that include SMA Solar and USBank.

“The Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters made the right choice when they chose Stapleton for their office and training facility,” Lehigh said. “Stapleton offers businesses excellent freeway visibility, easy access to interstates and public transportation and diverse, flexible real estate options—all of which is just minutes from Downtown Denver and Denver International Airport. When the ribbon was cut on the new Central Park Blvd interchange on I- 70 late last year, we opened another door to one of the region’s most exciting office locations and sent the message that Stapleton is truly ‘business ready.’”

“This is a great addition to the next phase of our development,” Lehigh added. “Stapleton is Denver’s fresh, new business address.”

“We think this is a great location for our new facility,” said Mike McCarron, Executive Secretary-Treasurer of the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters. “We are looking forward to building our newest training center here in Denver because it is an important resource for carpenters and contractors alike.”

Among the diverse group of business or government interests who have chosen Stapleton for their office location are the Denver Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the A.F. Williams Family Medical Center, The United Air Lines Flight Training Facility and Nobel Sysco.

New Town Builders is preparing to pour the permanent sidewalk on the south side of 35th between Central Park Boulevard and Valentia. They will be removing the asphalt walk on Saturday, (11/19) , forming the new concrete walk on Monday (11/21), and, pouring the concrete on Wednesday (11/23). The permanent sidewalk will then be open for use on Thursday (11/24).

During the construction of the sidewalk on the south side of 35th Avenue, pedestrians – --particularly parents walking their children to and from Swigert McAuliffe International School -- are urged to use the temporary asphalt and permanent concrete sidewalks on the north side of 35th Avenue between Central Park Boulevard and Syracuse, where there is a safe school crossing.

Have you checked out the new Stapleton community website StapletonConnect.com? I met with Dan and Erin last week (relatively new Stapleton residents and the enthusiastic team behind Stapleton Connect), and wanted to share some info about the website. In addition to community information, events and resources, there is a social componenent designed to help Stapleton residents connect with one another through social networking (forums, groups, blogs and more). Drop by and check it out! You can use Facebook, Twitter, Google or Yahoo to set up your account in moments.

By the way, the hope is that StapletonConnect can continue to be a POSITIVE website where friends and neighbors can share useful info about this great community!

They also just launched a photo contest called 'Capture Stapleton,' on the StapletonConnect Facebook page. There are numerous prizes from local businesses including Wine Cellars by Stapleton, Harkins Theatres, Art & Framing by Stapleton and the Improv Comedy Club and Dinner Theatre.

Central Park Boulevard Project Update- May 26, 2011

The time has now come to set the girders and deck panels for the new Central Park Boulevard Bridge over I-70. On Friday night June 3 we will be closing down the highways around the Central Park Boulevard Interchange project starting with a single left lane on I-270 EB at 6 PM. Then, the I-70 EB and WB closure will start being implemented at approximately 10 PM but the detour and complete closure of the highway will not start until midnight. It will be picked up by 7 AM Saturday.

Saturday 6/4 will be similar, however we will start a little earlier with the lighter weekend traffic. I-270 will still get a single left lane at 6PM, but I-70 EB and WB will start being implemented with a single left at 8PM, and progress to a full closure at 10PM. It will be picked up by 7AM on Sunday.

Sunday night 6/5 into Monday and Monday night 6/6 into Tuesday will also have similar closures. Sunday night will start early again (10PM full closure), Monday night full closure will not take place until midnight. These both will be picked up earlier, by 5AM on the weekday mornings of 6/6 and 6/7.

I-270 WB will not be affected.

The on and off-ramps will be used as the detours for the full I-70 closures. I-70 will be constricted down to one lane and then we will take traffic off on the ramps. They will go through the new diamond interchange and down the off-ramp back onto I-70. Pretty straightforward, but is strongly suggested traffic take alternate routes, especially the time-sensitive airport traffic on I-70 EB.

Forest City announced today it will break ground this summer on two new multi-family rental complexes at Stapleton.

The Eastbridge Apartments will be comprised of 118 rental homes on E. 29th Drive at Havana. The new apartments will be within a block of a neighborhood pool and park that opened at Stapleton in 2008 and just minutes west of the major employment center of the Fitzsimons Life Science District and the Anschutz Medical Campus. Units in the two and three story buildings that comprise the complex will include 1 and 2 bedroom units. Rents for the Eastbridge Apartments are expected to range from $1,050 to $1,425.

The second new complex at Stapleton will be the Novella Apartments located north of Martin Luther King Boulevard two blocks north of the E.29th Avenue Town Center along Roslyn Way. The apartments will be within a short walk of the Quebec Square Regional Retail Center, the planned FasTracks multimodal center on Smith Road to the north and Central Park to the east. A new Denver Public Library is scheduled to open in the Town Center in 2012 and the new Swigert-McAuliffe International School (ECE-8) will be opened by Denver Public Schools near the Novella Apartments in August of this year. The 85 units of the first phase of the 220 unit development are expected to include 1 and 2 bedroom apartments with leases expected to range from $1,050 to $1,350.

“The multifamily market has rebounded swiftly,” said John Lehigh, president of Forest City Stapleton, Inc. “The flexible zoning at Stapleton allows Forest City to take advantage of market opportunities and bring product to market quickly in ideal locations. “We have every reason to expect that these new rental developments will receive an enthusiastic welcome from the market and further enhance Stapleton’s image as a community that offers a diversity of housing choices,” Lehigh added.

Cool news from today's meeting of the Stapleton Master Community Asosciation (MCA) delegates:

The MCA received a grant from the American Red Cross to place five Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in the community. Four will go to the neighborhood's four pools, and the fiftth will be on hand for community events. The grant saved the MCA about $12,000 while providing extra care for residents in case of emergency.

According to the American Heart Association, 'Sudden cardiac arrest and other life-threatening emergencies can happen anywhere... Giving CPR and using an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can greatly increase the victim’s chance of survival.'

Paula Deorio, Aquatics Director for the MCA, could barely contain her excitement as she talked about the defibrillators while Keven Burnett showed off one of the units. Paula noted that the pool's lifeguards would be trained on use of the AEDs, but the units are designed so that others could use them in case of emergency.

Famous Dave's BBQ restaurant in Quebec Square in Stapleton re-opened for business today, just 33 hours after a street sweeper truck crashed through an eterior wall and into the bar area.  The accident occured around 5am Monday morning.  No one inside the restaurant was hurt, and the truck driver was  taken from the scene in an ambulance, with non-life threatening injuries. 

The truck was estimated to have been traveling at approximately 40 mph when it crashed through the restaurant's wall.

Mike Higgins, Area Director for Famous Dave’s Bar-B-Que, was quoted on the restaurant's Facebook page as saying, “It’s amazing that things have turned around this quickly. Just yesterday I was standing in a pile of rubble, although optimistic, I thought it would be 2-3 days before we were able to get the doors open again.”

Here's a link to some pretty amazing photos, posted on the restaurant's Facebook page.

The City and County of Denver has provided this update on the Central Park Boulevard and I-70 Interchange.

The Central Park Boulevard Interchange with I-70 has started to pick up in earnest as winter ends and spring begins. The project is nearing the end of the design phase and the construction phase is in full operation. There will be a significant traffic change occurring this coming weekend (Friday April 8 – Sunday April 10). Starting at 6PM Friday night 4/8, I-270 will go down to one lane in the EB direction, just past the I-70 flyover. At that point, traffic will now be diverted, permanently, onto the new I-270 ramp to I-70. This will be a new road for traffic. The old I-270 ramp will be out of service and will be demolished soon. I-270 will be down to one lane for the whole weekend, until Sunday evening 4/10. Please use caution in the work zone during this permanent traffic switch. The next major operation will occur late in the month of May and an update will be provide the specifics of that operation as they become available.

According to a recent case study, Denver's Central Park Recreation Center is a national model for energy efficiency and sustainability. Certified at the LEED Gold level by the U.S. Green Building Council, the Central Park Rec Center opened in early 2011.

According to the study, the Rec Center's design is expected to produce a savings of 43.5% in energy costs and over 50% in water usage. Over 20% of the materials used on site contain recycled content. Over 24% of materials contain regional components. Solar photovoltaic panels on the roof are expected to produce 12,640 kWh per year - the equivalent of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by nearly 9.5 tons per year!

 A week ago I had the opportunity to visit the nearly-complete Central Park Recreation Center at Stapleton, and to tour and take photos.  The Rec Center is pretty special to me, as I've been involved in its design since 2006 as a member and past-Chairman of the Stapleton Parks Advisory Group.  It has been nearly 5 years since I attended meetings in residents' homes to talk about the Center's design, amenities, traffic flow, even the positioning of the building on the site.  I wrote letters to the Mayor to press for construction, and campaigned to make sure the Center was included in the funding bond initiative.

Now we're just weeks away from completion of the Center and its opening is expected to come at the end of January.  As a board member of the Stapleton Development Corporation I got to tour the facility last week, and I posted a bunch of photos on Facebook (www.facebook.com/kearnsteam). 

DENVER, CO - September 15, 2010 - Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, Colorado Governor Bill Ritter, Federal Highway Deputy Administrator Greg Nadeau, City Councilman Michael Hancock, Guillermo 'Bill' Vidal, Deputy Mayor and Manager of Public Works, and Cheryl Cohen-Vader President and CEO of the Stapleton Development Corporation gathered to 'break ground' on the future Central Park Boulevard Interchange at Interstate 70.
In 2000, the former Stapleton International Airport site began a transformation to become one of the nation's largest urban mixed-use infill developments. The redevelopment of the 4,700-acre site occurred on both sides of Interstate 70 in east Denver; however a designated road to connect the two sides was not included in the plan. The Central Park Boulevard (CPB) project creates a designated road to make these connections while also providing crucial access to 1-70 and 1-270; as well as their links across the state.
'Thanks to the foresight of Denver voters, the Better Denver Bond program is reinvesting in our future through critical infrastructure improvements like the Central Park Boulevard Interchange,' said Mayor John Hickenlooper. 'This project will improve quality of life for everyone who travels through, shops and lives in the area for decades to come.'
The CPB Interchange, which will be located between Quebec Street and Havana Street on 1-70, will feature two major components. The first component will connect the Stapleton Development on both sides of 1-70 with a six lane bridge over 1-70. The CPB bridge will be multi-modal friendly and will include twelve foot sidewalks to accommodate all types of movement: vehicular, pedestrian and bicycle.
The second component will connect CPB to Interstates 70 and 270. Due to the nature of the connections, the interchange will consist of a network of 'braided' ramps. This type of ramp is necessary along the north and south sides of 1-70 to provide access to and from the two interstate highways and will be constructed on land already set aside for the ramps. Therefore, the majority of the construction will have little impact to drivers on 1-70 and 1-270.
Separate from the CPB interchange project is the design and construction of CPB outside the limits of the interchange, to be constructed by Forest City Enterprises. Forest City, who has been the main developer in the Stapleton subdivision, will spend $20 million to extend Central Park Boulevard from 36th Avenue to Northfield Boulevard, approximately 2 miles north.
'The Stapleton community will be well-served by this new interchange,' said Federal Highway Deputy Administrator Greg Nadeau. 'The project is creating well-paying jobs for area workers, building safe multi-use paths for walkers and cyclists and, by reducing travel distance, giving time back to residents and commuters.'
The CPB Interchange is part of the Better Denver Bond Program approved by Denver voters in 2007, along with funding from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and additional funding sources. Once complete, an average of 17,000 vehicles will use CPB daily and an estimated 46,000 vehicles are anticipated to use the facility daily in 2035.
'One of the most effective economic drivers is a strong transportation system,' Governor Bill Ritter. 'That's why this project is so important. This new interchange will become a key part of the region's transportation network while also spurring job creation, supporting area businesses and improving the overall quality of life for the thousands of people who live, work and visit this part of the metro area.'
A project of this magnitude requires a true public and private partnership. With the combined efforts of the Federal Highway Administration, Colorado Department of Transportation, City and County of Denver, SEMA Construction and our community, the new interchange will be open to traffic in November, 2011, just in time for the holiday shopping season.
Time lapse photos of the project, provided by Job Site Visitor, can be found at www.Denverqov.org/CPBlnterchanqe along with additional information about the CPB Interchange project.

For everyone interested in the 2011 HGTV Green Home under construction in Stapleton, I've posted an abum of photos under the Photos tab on our Facebook page and I've started a discussion topic under the Discussions tab. I'll try to answer questions that people may have about the house, location, Stapleton, etc.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- HGTV will build its fourth HGTV Green Home in Stapleton, Denver, Colorado's eco-progressive community created on the site of a former airport in Denver. Stapleton is reusing/recycling 4,700 acres of land and reconnecting it to Denver's urban fabric.

Over the past decade the community has emerged as one of the country's most ambitious examples of sustainable development.  The 2,400-square-foot, custom-built 'green' home being built there will be given away as part of the HGTV Green Home grand prize package next spring. A video and information about the location of the home is available at HGTV.com/greenhome.

'The HGTV Green Home gives us an opportunity to display the latest products and highlight the newest practices for the ever-evolving standards of sustainable living,' said Jack Thomasson, HGTV House Planner. 'The combination of a spectacular eco-healthy home design, built in a vibrant community, will undoubtedly make this our most dynamic HGTV Green Home ever.'

The HGTV Green Home will feature open spaces that flow together to create an interactive environment.  The home's exterior mix of hipped and cantilevered roof forms gives a feel of a winged structure, recalling the site's airport past.  By not replicating a traditional house style, the HGTV Green Home of 2011 looks to the future with a modern prairie look and does not try to reproduce the past. Constructed by Infinity Home Collection of Denver, it will feature construction and design elements that are known to contribute to an energy efficient, cleaner and healthier living environment.  

Viewers can enter for a chance to win the HGTV Green Home Giveaway grand prize package during the entry period from April 14 – June 2, 2011.

'We're honored that HGTV has selected the Infinity for the construction of its 2011 HGTV Green Home,' said David Steinke, general manager, Infinity Home Collection. 'We love building smart homes for smart people and to us, building green is practically second nature. It gives us great pleasure to have our work featured as part of this year's HGTV Green Home Giveaway.'

'In Stapleton, we've worked to create a community that is founded on sustainability,' said Denise Gammon, Senior Vice President of Development for Forest City Stapleton, the master developer of the Stapleton Community. 'We'll be delighted to welcome the lucky winner of the Green Home Giveaway to the neighborhood.'
