DYNAMIC DENVER SOUTH
Stretching from Belleview Avenue to RidgeGate
Parkway along I-25, Denver South is a live,
work, play community and economic engine.
The corridor boasts more than 130,000 jobs and
the broader region some 250,000+ jobs in an
impressive assemblage of globally recognized
and industry-leading businesses, mid-size
companies, and startups. Spread across
eight zip codes, Denver South’s residential
communities span single-family homes, multifamily condos and apartments, senior living
centers, and acreage properties all enlivened by
parks, recreation, worship, entertainment, retail,
and cultural amenities.
The Denver South corridor is a segment of
six larger government jurisdictions - City and
County of Denver - City of Centennial - City of
Greenwood Village - City of Lone Tree - Arapahoe
County - Douglas County. This framework makes
recommendations for the Denver South corridor,
not the broader jurisdictions in their entirety.
Denver South Economic Development Partnership
represents a State of Colorado- approved overlay
district—Southeast Public Improvement Metro
District (SPIMD)—that collects a small tax on
commercial properties to support solutions to
shared challenges like mobility, infrastructure, and
economic development.
These financial resources are managed by a
combination of the Transportation Management
Association (TMA) and the Economic Development
Partnership (EDP), which have collectively directed
the development of this framework, hereafter
referred to as the TMA/EDP.
