The Owner intends to undertake a major redevelopment of the project that will include the deconstruction of approximately 93,000 square feet of existing in-line tenant GLA, 67,000 square feet mall common area and back of house, two (2) anchor buildings totaling 150,000 square feet and a number of freestanding buildings located on outparcel lots surrounding the mall. The new work includes redevelopment of the entire site, incorporating mall interior renovations and new mall entries together with the development of outdoor lifestyle and entertainment components and freestanding retail buildings along College Avenue. Multi-unit residential on the eastern edge of the site offers a transition between the adjacent neighborhoods and the commercial core of the current mall area and incorporates key stormwater facilities within its design. The proposed redevelopment will create a project that embodies a contemporary Colorado style. The design incorporates natural materials that are in harmony with the traditional architecture of historic downtown. The project will be a unique combination of indoor shopping, open air eateries and outdoor shops, as well as green spaces and a great lawn that functions as community gathering place. Outdoor spaces will be enhanced with beautiful Colorado style landscape, pedestrian amenities, entertainment opportunities, and exciting fountains. The design allows for opportunities for lifestyle, shopping, dining and entertainment. The project will be a local, as well as regional draw.
