Downtown Denver is made up of dynamic neighborhoods that fuel the center city’s character and economy. Since the 2007 Downtown Area Plan was published, downtown neighborhoods including Auraria, Central Platte Valley, Ballpark, Arapahoe Square, Upper Downtown and Golden Triangle have received their own separate plans and have seen significant redevelopment proposals and activity since. This planning process will include recommendations for all downtown neighborhoods while acknowledging that each area of downtown is at different points in its development cycle and may need varying levels of plan guidance. The full study area is a 2.5 square mile area bounded by the South Platte River on the west, Park Avenue on the north, Grant Street on the east, and Speer Boulevard and Colfax on the south. This plan will also consider the interconnected nature this geography has with its surrounding neighborhoods
