West Metro Area
The west metro area includes the cities of Lakewood, Wheat Ridge Arvada, Golden, and unincorporated Jefferson County. The area is primarily suburban in nature, although Arvada and Golden have historic downtown areas. Lakewood is building a new "downtown," known as Belmar (see below). One office park, Denver West, is located in the western area. It contains approximately 2 million square feet of office space, and several retail developments including the Colorado Mills mall. The following is a compilation of the larger projects underway or proposed in the area. (Click on the thumbnails for larger pics) |
