Conservatory Green In Stapleton


The new neighborhood in Stapleton is starting to take shape and several model homes are under construction.  The neighborhood will be called Conservatory Green and is located north of I-70 and just across the street from The Shops at Northfield Stapleton.  According to Forest City Stapleton, the model homes and nearly 500 homes will be available sometime this spring.

Forest City Stapleton reported last week that the Visitor Center for Conservatory Green will open in March.  The Visitor Center is under construction and located north at 4928 Uinta Street, Denver CO 80238 of The Shops at Northfield Stapleton.  For directions, click here to for directions to Starbucks.  Conservatory Green is just to the north of the Starbucks at 4928 Uinta Street—not correct on Google Maps. 

Forest City explained in an article on their website StapletonDenver.com the inspiration behind Conservatory Green.  “The neighborhood is also named for the green and plaza at its center: Conservatory Green Plaza will have unique gathering spots such as a shade structure, water feature and the community's first fire pit, while the Conservatory Green will have striking landscapes and an open lawn for the whole family.”  At recent Realtor meeting with Forest City the staff shared with us the vision for Conservatory Green.  They talked a lot about the goal of the homes and the design of the neighborhood complementing the historic prairie landscape.

The new neighborhood design will offer homeowners the option to build a new home with an urban garden ready for planting.  The idea is to give residents the option to plant vegetables and even raise chickens.  I don’t know about the whole chicken thing, but sustainability is a new buzzword that is being incorporated into Conservatory Green.  A 40+-acre park will be developed on the west side of the neighborhood simultaneously with the new construction homes.  Forest City also boasted that homeowners will have access to faster technology, which is geared toward the many Stapleton residents that work from home. 

Below is a map from the Forest City Stapleton website with a conceptual view of the neighborhood.
