Alberta Development Partners LLC, in partnership with Walton St. Capital, will undertake the long-awaited redevelopment of Southglenn Mall, which will feature strong urban design principles and a new name.
The Streets at Southglenn will contain a gourmet natural foods market, movie theater, bookstore, European-style bistros, sidewalk cafés and unique women's and men's apparel shops - a few examples of the types of places that developers hope will help create an up-market, community-based destination. The 950,000-sq-ft project will also offer 350 lofts.
Demolition of the old mall is scheduled begin in spring 2006. Both Sears and Foley's (Macy's) will remain dominant anchors for the redevelopment.
Alberta's redevelopment team includes Callison Architects and Shook Kelly.

RidgeGate, a 3,500-acre new urbanist, master-planned community in Lone Tree, will include a SuperTarget and a host of other retailers, including Starbucks, Ironstone Bank and two restaurants, Costa Vida and Campania d'Italia.

The store will also feature a two-level front facade with lower-level department store-like elevator/escalator lobbies. Other highlights include two towers with copper Target "bulls-eyes" - believed to be the first in the nation - and a public art piece by Denver-area mosaic tile artist Jennifer Haley.
