Redevelopment Opportunities
Capitalizing on the established transportation networks of the Historic City, your imagination is the limit for exciting redevelopment. The city is actively working in partnership with current owners and developers to redevelop specific areas and neighborhoods, and your involvement is welcome. Individual redevelopment areas are noted below:
Mile High Racing and Entertainment
Goal: Mile High Racing and Entertainment is seen as a significant redevelopment site that can further unite the two geographic areas of the city. The site has great access from Highways 85/6 and 2, and sits just north of I-270. It is envisioned as a commercial, mixed-use area that augments the entertainment currently available with restaurant dining and more.
City's Priority: The city is giving high priority to this redevelopment project and is actively working to engage potential developers to further define this vision.
Description: In its past, Mile High Racing and Entertainment drew great numbers of visitors to fill its huge parking area. Today, visitors are nowhere near the amount in the past, which makes its large parking lot a prime site for redevelopment.
Location: Center of the Historic City along Highway 85/6 and Highway 2 between 62nd and 64th Avenues
Size: Mile High Rancing and Entertainment is a 65-acre property.
I-270 and Highway 85
Goal: As the southern gate to Commerce City this area has prominent visibility from I-270. The city's vision is to redevelop the area with higher industrial uses.
City's Priority: The city is giving moderate priority to this redevelopment project and is eager to work with the current owners and potential developers to further define this vision.
Description: Currently, 3 owners operate 9 tenants in the area. The site is highly industrial at present, though it sits just south of a string of fast food restaurants lining the Highway 85/6 corridor around 60th Avenue. Directly across Highway 85/6 is a Super Wal-Mart, which has been highly successful in the area for several years.
Location: Northwest corner of I-270 junction with Highway 85/Vasquez Blvd.
Size: 55 acres
Additional Redevelopment Areas include:
Highway 85/6 Corridor north of 60th Avenue
