Happy New Year, DenverInfill readers! Let’s kick off the year with a fresh post and a new roundup area. Broadway Marketplace, now known as Broadway Park, has been a strip mall retail center for many decades, with more surface parking than buildings. However, the tides are changing for this area as it is now getting redeveloped, block by block.

In the past, we covered this area as part of Baker, as evidenced in our last roundup, but with the redevelopment ramping up, it only makes sense to cover this area as we did with 9th and Colorado. There are 30 parcels in the redevelopment plans for Broadway Park, but only a few are active and two are complete. Therefore, for this roundup, we will explore the parcels with active development plans submitted to the city.

Parcel 2C. This parcel is the only one under construction. AMLI Broadway Park is close to completion with its accompanying plaza: Bayer Square. The six-story project will provide some excellent ground-floor activation with retail spaces lining the plaza. This is the third project in the master development following Denizen Apartments and Rye SoBo.

Parcel 2B. Concept plans for a 12-story project have been submitted for the block between Rye SoBo and AMLI Broadway Park. Currently, the block is being used as staging for AMLI Broadway Park, but with work finishing soon, we will see if the development plans move forward for this parcel. At 12 stories, this would be the tallest project in the redevelopment and surrounding neighborhood.

In addition, here are a couple of conceptual renderings released by D4 Urban, the master developer.

Parcels 5 & 6. The retail building containing Ace Hardware, Sally, and Dollar Tree has recently closed shop in anticipation of redevelopment. According to a recent concept plan filed with the city, parcels 5 and 6 are a single project containing two seven-story buildings. This is the third concept plan filed for these parcels, with the previous plans proposing two 12-story buildings and then two seven-story buildings with the earliest concept plan. Demolition of the retail building isn’t quite underway, but core sampling has recently taken place around the surface parking lot.

Parcels 12 & 17. Moving further south, another dual-parcel proposal is moving its way through the city. Consisting of a five-story building along Broadway and an eight-story building across the street to the west, this development will also feature a 0.55-acre park towards Bannock Street and the Articulated Wall public art, pictured in our cover photo. The land is currently under contract, which is a good sign that development is starting soon.

Let’s wrap up with a couple of photos of the master development. The map on the left shows all of the parcels in Broadway Park that are eligible for redevelopment. This map is presented with up-to-date information on D4 Urban’s website. The photo on the right shows the entire build-out, including the Broadway Station redevelopment further south.

This is an exciting start to the Broadway Park redevelopment. With a handful more parcels for sale, we should hopefully see more development plans filed for this area. Being so close to the Alameda light rail station, it only makes sense to turn this area into a thriving urban center.
