A plan to redevelop the area around a long-shuttered grocery store in Broomfield into a mixed-use space is underway and could break ground as early as next year.
Broomfield’s Planning and Zoning Commission recommended this week the establishment of a new urban renewal area at the roughly 43-acre site located north of West 120th Avenue, east of Main Street, west of Spader Way and south of DesCombes Drive. Such a designation would “provide important services to the area, attract private investment, provide for the orderly development of the area, and leverage public investment and funding mechanisms to provide necessary public infrastructure to serve the area,” according to a city memo.
The project, known as Broomfield Town Square, would wrap around the former Safeway, which closed in 2014.
Most of the land is owned by the city, and Broomfield Town Square will be developed in a public-private partnership with Broomfield Town Square Alliance LLC, an entity led by Milender White Construction Co.
