and that redevelopment is the subject of the front-page headline in The Denver Post (December 7) it’s a sign that something significant is changing the Streets of SouthGlenn (SOS) was rebuilt by Alberta Development Partners between 2007 and 2009 It was one of the area’s first mixed-use developments combining residential Although it took a little while to catch on but that changed in recent years as brick-and-mortar retail stores fell victim to changing purchasing patterns from in-store to online Large department stores were one of those that were hardest hit in the retail sector partly because they developed their own online shopping websites that increasingly compete with their stores.  The COVID-19 pandemic only hastened the inevitable According to data presented by Alberta’s Don Provost to the Centennial City Council on December 6 Of the 1,600 remaining large department stores today The anchor tenants at SOS were Sears on the south end and Macy’s on the north Sears at SOS closed in 2018 and Macy’s is set to close in 2022.  Colorado’s population continues to grow and housing is in short supply in the metro area a Denver company that specializes in mixed-use development Alberta and Northwood began a process that would eventually lead to a proposal to the City of Centennial to redevelop the Sears and Macy’s properties as 900 new residential housing units to anchor SOS in place of the failed department stores providing much-needed housing for people whose presence there would support the retail After what Kyle Whitaker of Northwood described on December 6 as two years of listening to the community’s concerns in three large-scale community meetings the developers scaled back their original plans eventually settling on proposed amendments to the SOS Master Development Plan (MDP) and the Master Development Agreement (MDA) that included less density and height than originally planned They also added a new 25,000 square foot (0.57-acre) contiguous green public space.  City of Centennial Planner Jenna Campbell presented the developers’ proposal at the large public city council meeting designed to solicit public input “A mixed use center that includes shopping and offices that serve adjacent neighborhoods She noted that a traffic impact study required for the development had been reviewed and approved by the city as had the required drainage report for the proposed project She described in detail the requested changes to the MDP and MDA for SOS Noting that the proposal had received a unanimous recommendation for approval from the city’s planning and zoning commission she outlined its most significant aspects:  Presenting to the council on behalf of the developers was Carolynne White land use counsel for Alberta along with Rob Kaufman Don Provost and Dustin Anderson from Alberta and Kyle Whitaker and Brian Cleary representing Northwood Investors Require a minimum 25,000 square-foot public open space within the south end.  White pointed out that the increased residential would positively impact new and existing retail thus improving the long-term viability of SOS She also noted that it would remove the existing blight on the Sears property and potential blight of a vacant Macy’s The new residential would also “attract and retain a range of age groups to live and work in Centennial add more green community space” and improve walkability in SOS overall.  Provost talked about how Alberta had converted the Southglenn Mall into SOS 15 years ago with an investment of $300 million and how Northwood and Alberta have now invested between $40 million and $50 million to acquire the Sears and Macy’s properties He added that SOS is responsible for 2,100 average jobs created “Offers a diverse mix of uses and offerings: retail with a mix of local and national tenants.” Chris Fashing of Felsburg Holt and Ullevig (FHU) the area’s premier transportation-focused consulting firm noted that his firm has been involved in collecting and analyzing traffic data in the area for 35 years largely for purposes of assessing its impact on development FHU “developed short-term and long-term traffic projections” (pre-COVID).  They found that the proposed redevelopment would meet the city’s level of service traffic goals both long and short term with some possible traffic signal phasing adjustments and some possible lane redesigns Concluding the presentation of the developer Attorney White outlined how and why the proposed redevelopment met the approval criteria of the City of Centennial including its consistency with the Southglenn subarea plan the intent of the design and mixed-use concept of the MDP as amended it’s providing of public benefits to the SOS and Centennial as a whole its compatibility with existing development City Planner Campbell explained why city staff agreed that the plan met Centennial’s approval criteria the city council began hearing from Centennial residents The most important speaker was from the Centennial Council of Neighborhoods (CenCom) who expressed her sincere appreciation for the time and efforts of the developers to listen and respond to residents’ concerns over the past two years She said that CenCom generally supported the redevelopment “still objected to the 75-foot height” because there is already a parking shortage at SOS Other residents who spoke also objected to the 75-foot height and the belief that people who live in apartments “come with a transient lifestyle.” the three and one-half hour meeting was adjourned until the following night when members of the city council asked developers about the revenues that would be generated by the project the architectural style and reason for the requested 75-foot height of the residential In discussion about the number of residential units proposed to be built Attorney White described the 1,125 total apartments that would be in SOS when combining the new development with the existing residential as the amount of residential that “creates a critical mass of residents to energize the center… to make it possible to build the rest of the commercial that we hope to be able to build here.” Council Member Kathy Turley asked Provost whether any condominiums were planned in addition to rental apartments He said he thought there might be an opportunity for some condos at the north end depending on the market He said this was a great location to live because one could “walk a block to Whole Foods.” Mayor Piko asked council members to share their thought processes about the project noting that no formal vote would be taken until January.  The comprehensive plan was developed to guide that change…We need to think about providing places that will be attractive to both current and future residents and I think this proposal provides for both.” He talked about the need to provide housing for current Centennial residents who wished to downsize and those who wished to live in Centennial but weren’t ready to buy a single-family home “definite public benefits to having this kind of mixed-use development within our city to have a place where people can go and get something to eat and live in an area where they can walk down the street get a cup of coffee with friends or walk to a restaurant and get a meal with friends without having to get out onto the streets and add to the traffic…” Council Member Tammy Maurer expressed support for the project noting that residential development “has the least amount of (traffic) impact.” The data that had been presented by the traffic experts showed that offices generate nearly twice as many trips per day and retail generates four to five times as many daily trips as does residential.  “The only way that we can have that vibrant community where we have great restaurants and good things to do on a Friday night that I can walk to is to increase the number of people that are actually in that community that will live Moon commended Chris Fashing of FHU for the excellent work his firm had done on the traffic study DENVER – A once-ubiquitous staple of American suburbia is slowly dying Malls are disappearing from the retail landscape And perhaps no better sign of the inevitable doom of malls are the recent announcements of sweeping closures from major mall retailers The Denver metro area was once home to several indoor malls Many struggled to stay afloat amid an increasingly competitive market and closed Some of them were resurrected into outdoor shopping centers The memories of going with your mom to the mall “let's meet in front of Joslin's,” or hanging out with friends on the weekends are all gone for these seven Denver area malls which have all been brought down and replaced with something different See why our favorite past time is changing and how Denver lost more than half its malls | How the Denver area lost more than half of its malls and why their replacements may have a shelf life too Here are seven indoor malls in the Denver metro area that are no more. Some of the information in the following article is sourced from Mall Hall of Fame Cinderella City was located in Englewood at West Hampden Avenue and South Santa Fe Drive The operational end of the mall came in 1997 The 1.35 million square foot mall was called the largest shopping center under one roof in the world when it opened in 1968.The three-level mall had 250 stores and restaurants and was sectioned into five individually named areas that covered about two miles and were connected by a center court Development began in 1963 when Denver developer Gerri Von Frellick planned to build a mall on East Hampden near where the KLZ radio tower was located But neighbors weren't happy with his plan so he moved it down the street giving the city of Englewood $1 million to purchase the 55-acre City Park "Local shoppers went absolutely nuts for the fairy tale shopping space. For decades, it was the place to shop in the Denver area, and customers streamed in from across the Mountain West," wrote Brian K. Trembath with the Denver Public Library But not everyone was happy about Cinderella City An essay — written by Richard Lutz and titled Chaos in Cinderella City — published May 4 in the alternative weekly publication "The Straight Creek Journal," symbolically used the then-largest indoor mall in the world to point out everything wrong with Colorado and the growth the state was experiencing at the time “Cinderella City itself is Walt Disney’s dream come true Four stories of every imaginable useless store in the world Four stories of indoor sidewalks (with streetlights) legions of angry mommies yelling at their kids and hassled husbands checking out the fishing tackle,” Lutz wrote The fairy tale began to fade in the early 80s, according to the City of Englewood History of Cinderella City Mall the city was looking to redevelop the land as the once-packed mall was virtually deserted Montgomery Ward was the final tenant to vacate the premises in December of 1997 More images of Cinderella City in the gallery below: The Villa Italia Mall opened in 1966 and closed in 2001 Belmar Downtown Lakewood sits where Villa Italia once stood The 1.2 million square foot mall had 140 stores and four Anchor Stores article published in the “Intermountain Jewish News,” the headline reads: "VILLA ITALIA COMBINES OLD-WORLD ELEGANCE The 15-acre indoor mall was described as having a modern Italian design The two malls opened close to around the same time and were similar in size and layout In the same Intermountain Jewish News article the writer points out the mall's decor and reports that the shopping center was garnering international attention "The landscaped parking area for 5,000 cars the blooming flowers in planters throughout the complex are attracting nation-wide attention and the blessings of the consular representatives of a score of foreign lands," the article reads The mall was a favorite for metro area shoppers for decades and perhaps best known for having several ramps and steps on the first level of the mall (what was that all about?!?) It underwent a major renovation project in the early to mid-80s when many of its Italian features were covered up the renovations and the score of international blessings bestowed upon it weren't enough to save it from demolition The land under Villa Italia was sold in 1999 and construction on the new Bellmar outdoor shopping complex began in 2002 Southglenn Mall opened in 1974 and was located at Arapahoe Road and South University where the Streets of SouthGlenn is located now the $40 million ($290 million in 2023) indoor mall was advertised as being the first mall in Colorado to have a May D&F Sears and the Denver Dry Goods store in the same shopping center Southglenn Mall was 700,000 square feet and situated on 74 acres of land seventeen stores greeted shoppers when the mall opened in 1974 was a well-known Denver developer and responsible for other projects like planned neighborhoods in Northglenn and Montbello in Denver The mall went through a renovation project in 1987 when asbestos was discovered in the mall’s ceiling forcing officials to close the mall for a short time The mall reopened after an abatement was completed Another expansion occurred in the early 90s But the mall began to decline as soon as Park Meadows opened in 1996 which siphoned most of Southglenn's anchor retailers away The mall permanently closed in 2006 and was mostly demolished to make way for the Streets of SouthGlenn a mixed retail and residential development More images of Southglenn Mall in the gallery below: The Westminster Mall opened in 1977 and closed in 2011 It was located at West 92nd Avenue and U.S Locals may remember the mall's iconic hot air balloons that hung in certain areas of the shopping center the mall became one of the largest in Colorado with six department store anchors expanding to more than 1.5 million square feet in the 90s That growth spurred competition among surrounding suburban municipalities in the early to mid-80s including the towns of Arvada and Louisville—both of which were courting developers for their own mega malls that never took off the mall was losing anchor stores that were bailing on the center to relocate to the newly-opened Flat Iron Crossing Mall The mall was finally closed and demolished in 2011 The land where the mall once stood is being developed into a mixed residential and outdoor shopping center on the northeast corner of Mississippi and S The 70,000 square feet complex featured a Montgomery Wards Announced in 1964, the center was developed by MDH Development Company and designed by Boyle and Wilson Architects. The mall's theme was a "Merry Olde England" motif, according to the Mall Hall of Fame but was considered an ultra-modern design in 1971 the newspaper talked to a partner with the architectural firm who described the mall as having "special lighting effects." said that the pedestrian mall would cover 70,000 square feet and would be landscaped and decorated with special lighting effects to create a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere for shoppers The enclosed mall area will also be used for staging fashion shows and other community-oriented events," according to the Aurora Advocate article growing to over 90,000 square feet by 1986 Competition from nearby Aurora Mall was heating up by the early 90s sending the shopping center into a downward spiral BUCKINGHAM SQUARE had contained ninety-five operational stores and services Most of these were local mom & pop-type tenants Kim's Wig Botik and Picture Perfect," according to a Mall Hall of Fame blog post combined with the closures of major anchor retailers was too much for the shopping center to survive the complex was completely leveled and in its place an open-air shopping center was constructed The Northglenn Mall opened the same year as Cinderella City but it was located several miles north of the Englewood shopping center a ribbon-snipping ceremony was held to open the 850,000 square feet indoor shopping center—the second largest mall in the region at the time The land was initially planned as a self-contained city of sorts complete with a civic center and a 3,000-home development the latter of which — called North Glenn — opened in 1959 A small strip mall was already opened by the time construction began on Northglenn Mall in 1966 but was turned into out parcel commercial pads that surrounded the complex when it opened The mall’s anchor stores included a Denver Dry Goods It also had a Fashion bar (a mall staple at the time) The mall went through multiple expansions in the 70s and 80s the now two-level mall had expanded to more than 995,000 square feet Through a combination of anchor store closures increased competition and dated architecture the mall was quickly becoming a showcase of empty storefronts the decision to demolish the complex and rebuild from scratch began The new shopping center contained several big box retailers that would later go bankrupt The smallest municipality in Colorado was also home to the state’s first indoor mall The mall was considered the third largest mall in the country upon its opening 1956 article in Cervi's Rocky Mountain Journal "The center will have 450,000 square feet of selling space under one roof and parking for 5,000 cars plus a separate parking lot for 400 employees The only two larger shopping centers in the country are located in Los Angeles and Houston," according to the Cervi's Rocky Mountain Journal The major tenants in 1956 included Denver Dry Goods Co. the mall was renovated and the structure was fully enclosed The basement of the mall — called the Lake Level — was turned into a food court Another renovation in the 80s added a Target store on the mall's east side The 90s brought the beginning of the end for the mall A familiar formula of increased competition and anchor store closures was the final nail on the coffin The complex was demolished in 2007 and an outdoor shopping center took its place seven-unit fast casual chain based out of Denver announces their first location in Southglenn The location will be owned and operated by Mici corporate; Mici launched their National Franchise program in 2020 Mici’s new restaurant will be located at 2330 E Arapahoe Rd #909 on the southwest corner of University and Arapahoe at the Streets at SouthGlenn Construction is underway to bring Mici’s modern yet comfortable feel to the Southglenn area This will be the first of the brand’s restaurants to debut their new look complete with new brand assets and logo and a completely revamped interior decor.  The restaurant will have 120 seats (75 inside and 45 outside) and dedicated pickup and delivery stations On the decision to expand the corporate footprint to the Southglenn area “Southglenn has always been at the top of our list of markets here in Colorado into which we would like to expand thriving community and a perfect fit for both our food (family recipe pizza and pasta) and our style of service (fast casual with delivery).” The company launched their National Franchise program in 2019 and already has more than 50 unit commitments in Phoenix Detroit and Dallas with many more in the pipeline.  Mici brought on Partners Elliot Schiffer as CEO in 2017 and Matt Stanton as Chief Growth Officer in 2021 The Mici Italian brand features family friendly modern eateries with a menu that focuses on authentic Italian family-recipes and uses all-natural As the retail landscape evolves due to the COVID-19 pandemic and increased popularity of online shopping, more ownership groups are ditching traditional brick-and-mortar retail space in favor of additional housing units. This includes retail space within existing mixed-use complexes. One such example is The Portola apartment complex at the Streets at SouthGlenn shopping center in Centennial The 202-unit community, located at 6851 S. Gaylord St. was built in 2009 with space for the development of additional townhomes. Alliance Construction Solutions (Alliance) has begun work to build out 12 additional high-end apartment units. The Mulhern Group is providing design services The addition project is expected to be completed in Q3 2021 “I am personally excited for this project to kick off in the Streets at SouthGlenn community,” says Ryan Mirus “There are 12 luxury apartments with access to the existing newly renovated amenity spaces I’m looking forward to overcoming the unique challenges this project presents.” According to public records, San Diego-based Sunroad Enterprises under the names Sunroad SMVA Portola LLC and Sunroad SRCP Portola LLC Opus has broken ground on Catalyst Industrial a new 188,054-square-foot Class A speculative industrial development on 14.26 acres located at 15030 E Each year during National Preservation Month Historic Denver opens the doors for the public to nominate the people and projects in Denver for decades before closing this summer Local coffee chain Huckleberry Roasters is taking over a former Starbucks in Denver’s Congress Park and a former Peet’s Coffee in Centennial in the Streets at Southglenn will be the seventh and eighth stores for Huckleberry Goedman, whose company previously took over a former Starbucks on Larimer Square said taking over spots that were already coffee shops “makes the interactions we need with the city way easier.” “I can’t overstate how much of a game changer that is for us … You’re talking about something that can take weeks to a couple of months versus a year to years The coffee entrepreneur is talking largely about Denver’s permitting process which many businesses have complained is overly complex and time-consuming as contractors and architects aren’t necessarily needed Previous coffee shops often also come with a built-in customer base and the potential to hire the previous staff The Centennial location will be Huckleberry’s second outside Denver city limits Huckleberry is doing about $10 million in yearly revenue About 65 percent of that comes from retail coffee shops with the remainder attributable to wholesale and e-commerce sales out of the company’s warehouse in Athmar Park “It would take us a long time to max out limits on what we can produce there,” Goedman said of the warehouse The business invests most of its profits back into itself and hasn’t raised money from outside investors Huckleberry’s landlord at the corner of 8th Avenue and Colorado Boulevard is The Robert L said Starbucks didn’t really explain why it opted to leave when its lease ended They have different business goals … They just decided it was time to move out of the space for whatever reason it was,” Naiman said in recent years Starbucks has been prioritizing locations with drive-thrus — something that the 1,600-square-foot location with 18 parking spots at 801 Colorado Blvd purchased the property nearly a quarter-century ago “It’s kind of a fun little artifact,” he said The Naimans are also the landlord for Huckleberry’s shop along Tennyson Street in Berkeley and reached out to Goedman when they learned of Starbucks’ decision “Most of our leases are with smaller local tenants,” Naiman said isn’t overthinking opening a coffee shop where the country’s most famous coffee shop operator opted to bail “My sense is not that the shops aren’t working but that they’re not fitting Starbucks’ business model,” he said This story is for our paid subscribers only Please become one of the thousands of BusinessDen members today Renew now by choosing a subscription below ALL MEMBERSHIPS RENEW AUTOMATICALLY.
