Urban Design Concepts
Dense, Mixed-Use and Walkable Urban Development The vision is to create a truly mixed-use, high density entertainment district that combines office, hotel, dining, and retail together in a high density, mixed use, walkable urban center. The street and open space network will facilitate connections with the existing Cherry Creek waterway and the new riverwalk.

The Riverwalk
The Riverwalk is an urban channel and organizing element which reinforces the east-west connectivity of the development. This channel will be animated with boats and various features which celebrate water and the linear urban character of the adjacent buildings. The channel will be shallow allowing the edges to be without railings. Periodic bridging with adequate clearance for boats will be necessary to allow cross movement.

Main Street
Ground floor pedestrian-active uses line the street, with residential, hotel and/or office space above the ground floor uses. The street is designed to support sidewalk cafes, and encourage night-time entertainment and dining activities. Garage access and curb cuts off these main streets are limited (but allowed) to minimize pedestrian / vehicular conflicts.
