5555 Greenwood Plaza Blvd
Century Communities broke ground this week on The Village at Landmark, a 90-home gated residential community on a 13.1-acre infill parcel at 5555 Greenwood Plaza Blvd in Greenwood Village, directly south of The Landmark entertainment district in the Denver Tech Center.
The Greenwood Village City Council voted 8-0 last fall to approve the project, an outcome that surprised even Century Communities' own leadership given the parcel's contentious history. Adjacent Landmark Towers residents appeared at the meeting in support, with several citing years of watching the site sit vacant.
Two floor plan collections range from 3,280 to 4,500 square feet, with a basement and three-bay garage included on every home. Select plans feature private elevators and rooftop living spaces. A central gathering amenity with fire pits and water features anchors the layout, designed to encourage neighborhood connection within the gated community. Godden Sudik Architects designed the project, with PCS Group handling land planning, entitlements, and landscape architecture.
The site carries one of the longer development histories of any parcel in Greenwood Village. Two decades ago, developer Zack Davidson envisioned the land as the "European Village," a high-density residential plan inspired by Italian architecture featuring cobblestone streets, courtyard-style homes, and manicured promenades.
The 2008 housing crash halted the project, and Davidson's Landmark Metropolitan District later faced allegations of financial mismanagement, leaving the site untouched for years. Century Communities purchased the property from the FDIC for $11 million in 2016, but early proposals were met with resistance over density concerns. The company submitted high-density programs in both 2016 and 2017, both of which were withdrawn before a council vote. The approved plan, 90 detached single-family homes at roughly seven units per acre, represents the compromise that finally cleared the council unanimously.
Century is targeting empty nesters, retirees, and executive professionals. The community will be walkable to The Landmark mixed-use district, which includes Landmark Theatres, Comedy Works, JING, and Upstairs Circus, as well as regional trail systems and Club Greenwood. The publicly traded homebuilder is headquartered on the opposite side of I-25 in Greenwood Village, giving the project a degree of local institutional continuity.
The Village at Landmark represents the kind of infill density Greenwood Village has historically resisted. That it cleared an 8-0 council vote after nearly a decade of withdrawn proposals and a prior generation of stalled development signals a shift in how the city is approaching the remaining vacant parcels inside its built-out boundaries. Construction is now underway and home sales are anticipated to begin in spring 2027, with pricing expected to range from $1.7 million to $3 million.
Century Communities (NYSE: CCS) is a top-10 national homebuilder that reported $4.1 billion in total revenues and delivered over 10,700 homes in 2025. Operating under the Century Communities and Century Complete brands, the company is involved in all aspects of homebuilding including land acquisition, entitlement, development, and construction across the Midwest, South, and West. The company is headquartered at 8390 East Crescent Parkway, Suite 650 in Greenwood Village, making The Village at Landmark a rare instance of a builder developing in its own backyard.
