Mayor Matt Appelbaum unveils Boulder Junction |
Last week, we attended the long awaited grand opening of Boulder Junction. Hard to believe we've been covering this development for a decade. Back when it was originally called Transit Village, the concept plans involved many thousands of units and massive amounts of new jobs.
What Were We Promised?
- 8,000 future jobs
- 5,000 housing units (1,000 affordable)
- Light rail to Denver
What Did We Get?
- Solana (319 high-end rental apartments)
- RTD bus station
- Hyatt Place Hotel (150 rooms)
What's Next:
- Depot Square (71 affordable rental apartments, almost complete)
- The Jaycee Building will eventually contain a restaurant. Rumors have swirled that it will be an Oscar Blues or a new Mountain Sun, neither appear to be true.
- A frackas over what will replace the Pollard Motors buildings on the city owned 5.5 acre parcel when their lease expires in 2016.
