Stapleton Real Estate - The “Green Plan”
August 24th, 2008 by admin
The plan to substitute Stapleton International Airport with Denver International Airport had first had a foothold in 1989 and from there – planners began deliberating about how to best redevelop the site where the Stapleton International Airport stood. Yet it was only after the convention of Stapleton Development Foundation (a private group composed of Denver civic leaders) in 1990 where a master plan for the site was produced – a plan that emphasized on the urban development site being pedestrian-oriented rather than the automobile-oriented design prominent in many major planned developments. The Stapleton real estate is slated to become grounds for the "green plan," a world-recognized outline for a sustainable community. In fact, nearly one-third of the former airport site was slated for redevelopment as public park space. Now, seven years later after the construction of the area began in 2001 – over a thousand homes have been built on the former Stapleton International Airport site.
