New Englewood LLC, a joint venture between DPC Companies and Ogilvie Partners LLC, recently held a community meeting to engage residents and gather ideas, feedback, and suggestions on the future of Englewood CityCenter.
During the presentation, the development team shared background on its experience with large scale redevelopment projects across the metro area, including the former Sports Authority headquarters site adjacent to CityCenter and the Cherry Creek Corporate redevelopment in Glendale. Developers emphasized their focus on long term value creation and noted that most partners are Colorado natives with deep ties to the region, not out of town investors looking for a short term exit.
A boundary map of Englewood CityCenter was presented to clarify ownership and redevelopment sequencing. Properties owned by New Englewood LLC were shown in red, while city owned properties were shown in blue. Developers identified the red areas as the first focus for redevelopment, specifically the C1 and C2 blocks along West Hampden Avenue.
Those initial focus areas include Harbor Freight, the vacant Office Depot, the vacant 24 Hour Fitness, Ross, and Petco. Developers said these sites present the most immediate opportunity for reinvestment based on existing conditions and ownership structure.
The team made clear that there is no current plan to redevelop the Englewood Civic Center, where city offices are located. That area remains under city ownership and outside the scope of the first phase. However, developers invited community members to share ideas for the existing office buildings over time, noting that redevelopment is not off the table but will be approached intentionally.
Developers said the current phase is focused on listening and early planning, not final decisions. Additional community meetings and pre development hearings are expected as concepts are refined and the project moves forward. The team emphasized that continued public input will be a key part of shaping the future of Englewood CityCenter.
