Development Opportunities in Centennial
Explore Centennial’s Growing Future
The images below highlight some of the major development opportunities shaping Centennial’s next chapter. From new mixed‑use districts to modern workplaces, these projects show how the City is planning for a vibrant, connected future. These areas are being designed to bring together homes, businesses, transit and public spaces in exciting new ways.
The District-Centennial
The District-Centennial is a 42-acre area, currently under construction, west of I-25 between IKEA and the Dry Creek light rail station owned by Denver-based Brue-Baukol Capital Partners. The District-Centennial is envisioned as a dynamic, mixed-use area, similar to The Streets at SouthGlenn, featuring a network of walkable blocks, active streets and public gathering spaces such as plazas.
Employment and Innovation Hub
The Employment and Innovation Hub (The Hub) is an important employment and economic engine in the City. With proximity to Centennial Airport and major transportation networks, the Hub is an ideal location for advanced manufacturing, light industrial/wholesale development, large employment center campuses, government institutions, entertainment uses and supporting commercial retail. The Hub enjoys proximity to regional attractions, including Cherry Creek State Park, Dove Valley Regional Park, entertainment centers, sports facilities and sport performance centers for the Denver Summit FC and the Denver Broncos.
Midtown Centennial
Midtown Centennial is envisioned as a mixed-use district that integrates housing, commerce, transit and public space into a cohesive and resilient neighborhood. Centennial is taking steps to guide development and reinvestment in this emerging area, including engagement with residents, businesses and property owners as well as coordination with utility districts to ensure long-term infrastructure planning.
Westray - Peakview Place
Westray is a living workplace by Schnitzer West. Coming to southeast metro Denver, steps from the light rail and adjacent to Fiddler’s Green Amphitheatre, is a new kind of work environment. With unobstructed views of the Rocky Mountain Front Range. On-site fitness and dining options. An 8th-floor Sky Lobby, which welcomes visitors with a panorama that stretches from Mount Evans to Longs Peak. And a design philosophy that turns Class AA office space into premium fuel for business. Westray is currently under construction.
