There’s new information this week about several proposed development projects in the area in and around Central Park.

The developer of the proposed Shops at Northfield Apartments, Stockdale Capital, filed to rezone the land south of the shopping area from commercial to mixed use. The plan for the area includes three multi-family residential buildings along with green space. The area extends from Northfield Blvd. to 47th Ave, and Verbena St. to Willow St. Stockdale Capital purchased the shopping area in 2023. The number of units for the project has not been released but a previous story by BusinessDen stated as many 1,000 apartments will be added.

Central Park United Neighbors (CPUN) currently has a neighborhood survey  bit.ly/2025cpunsurvey to get feedback from residents about a variety of topics including development north of I-70.

BusinessDen also reported that plans have been submitted for an 18-story apartment building at the RTD Central Park Station. That project has many steps to go through before approval.

To the south, at E. 25th Ave. and Jamaica St. in NW Aurora, plans are underway for a 75-unit affordable housing development called Stanley 98.The project proposed by the Aurora Housing Authority, just a few blocks from Stanley Marketplace, includes plans for a pedestrian bridge over the 25th Ave. drainageway.
