Shotgun Willie’s has a festival in Glendale nightlife.
A groundbreaking rite held Thursday for a 10-acre entertainment district in the city surrounded by Denver, the latest variation on a task Glendale has been planning for more than a decade.
“It took a long time,” said City Manager Chuck Line, who took office last year but served as deputy city manager for two decades prior.
The project, which is expected to cost $150 million, is being developed by Denver-based Central Street Capital, a family office founded by health care entrepreneur Rob Salazar. It’s known as the “4-Mile District,” a reference to the nearby historic Four Mile Park, which once served as a final prevention point for travelers to Denver.
The progression site is along Virginia Avenue and Clermont Street, south of Target, east of some workplace buildings and a few blocks west of the Shotgun Willie strip club owned by the mayor’s wife. Most of the land is now a park, although Line said a portion of it once housed a wastewater treatment facility, which was dismantled in 2006 and demolished.
Plans for the Four Mile District include a multitude of retail and dining spaces spread across the buildings, as well as masses of parking and outdoor plazas. The second phase requires a hotel. There is no residential component to the project. Central Street plans to expand all buildings.
The domain will be classified as a common admission domain, allowing visitors to wander around with alcoholic beverages and bars serving until 4am.
For now, there’s one tenant committed: an Alamo Drafthouse movie theater, which will belong on Central Street. President Isiah Salazar, Rob’s son, said it would have nine screens and be about 40,000 feet.
Thursday’s groundbreaking ceremony marked the beginning not of a vertical progression but of the 7-acre improvement, or Phase I, of the project, Salazar said. This will involve the creation of a private road, stormwater treatment and electricity infrastructure, as well as platform progression for individual buildings. The first thing that will happen vertically, Salazar said, will most likely be a parking lot. Paintings are worth starting around November.
The theater will see the light of day next year. Salazar said he expects the Alamo Drafthouse to open in late 2026 or early 2027.
The land is owned by the City of Glendale, but a progression agreement reached between Central Street and the city in 2021 allows the progression company to acquire it for $1 when a certain amount of painting is done on site, essentially by purchasing the land and it.
Weitz Co. is the general contractor for the task. Central Street has hired David Hicks & Lampert Brokerage to market the retail and restaurant space. Although there’s no live music host on the job (Central Street first contacted LiveNation about a possible concert venue), Salazar said he expects a few dining spots that will have a live music component.
Salazar said leasing efforts would increase with the launch of the project. Potential tenants have been cautious, he said, given the project’s past.
“It’s been a revolving door for developers for twelve years,” he said.
City Manager Line said Glendale has been making plans for the entertainment district since at least 2011. It was first nicknamed the “Glendale Riverwalk” (the site is along Cherry Creek) and then “Glendale 180,” either of which would become much larger. more grandes. de dirt sections. But the success of lawsuits filed by homeowners who were allegedly taken over has brought relief to projects.

In Lincoln’s case, “when they started dealing with it, Covid hit, and they had other issues in their wallets,” Line said.
Line said the average Glendale resident is in their 20s and 65% live alone; The city’s apartments are almost all apartments and condominiums. She said the Four Mile district would offer “18-hour-a-day activities. ”
“There’s Cherry Creek, but their services are different than what we’re going to provide here,” he said.
Speaking at Thursday’s ceremony, Mayor Mike Dunafon called Glendale “the Vatican of freedom and the Luxembourg of freedom,” and said Glendale “had the number one entertainment district in Colorado before LoDo. ” Mile District will return Glendale to what it once wasArray
“It’s more organic,” Line said of his heyday in the 1970s and ’80s. “It’s more planned. “
