Sante Fe Yards

About This Project

Santa Fe Yards is a large redevelopment site in Denver’s Baker neighborhood, located near Interstate 25, Broadway, and the Broadway light rail station. The site sat largely vacant for years following industrial use, leaving a highly visible stretch of land underutilized just south of downtown and along one of the city’s busiest transit corridors. The project is now anchored by Denver Summit FC, the city’s National Women’s Soccer League expansion team. Summit FC plans to build a purpose-built soccer stadium at Santa Fe Yards that will serve as the team’s permanent home beginning in 2028. The stadium is designed specifically for professional women’s soccer and is intended to host matches, community events, and year-round programming rather than function as a single-use venue. Beyond the stadium, Santa Fe Yards is envisioned as a broader sports and entertainment district. Plans include new public open space, pedestrian and bike connections, and future mixed-use development that could add restaurants, retail, and additional neighborhood-serving uses. The site’s proximity to light rail and South Broadway positions it as a transit-oriented project with regional reach. If built as planned, Santa Fe Yards would transform a long-dormant industrial site into one of Denver’s most prominent sports-anchored redevelopment projects, reshaping the southern edge of downtown while establishing a permanent home for women’s professional soccer in the city.
