Subjec#• King Soopers on South College Avenue
Good morning Joel and Carl:
As you are aware, student-oriented, multi-family housing developers are beating a path to our door. Not a week goes by
thaf we are not contacted by what appears to be well-capifalized, nationally-focused developers seeking opportunities
to provide off-campus howsing for C.S.U. students in close proximity to the main campus.
The site at South College Avenue and West Drake Road seems I.ike a prime location fo,r King Soopers to consider a joint
venfure totake full adyantage'of being along the MAX and only 1:25 milesfrom the MAX stop at C.S.U.
At the Preliminary Design Review, staff emphasized that the Midtown Plan calls for a mix of land uses alongthe
MAX. Please take a look at the two links below. These are two multi=family developers who just this week met with
staff and expressed a very strong desire to develop projects in our community. �
Rerhaps. King Soo:pers would find it mutually beneficial to explore opportu �ile de�velo � ers that ha�velexpressed nterle ge
and Drake by co-developing wrth any number of highly motivated multi fa y p
t
in.bu'ilding housing in our eommunity.
