Among the retailers who have committed to lease or purchase space in the East 29th Avenue Town Center are: Noodles & Co., Chipotle, Coldstone Creamery, Jerusalem Restaurant, Get Fired Up Pottery, Stanley's Hare Shop, Asante Day Spa, Henri's of Denver (women clothier), Walgreen's, First Bank Commercial Federal, Fantastic Sam's, Town Center Dentistry (Dr. Brett Kessler and Dr. Gina Kessler), E. 29th Avenue Wine and Spirits and Amore Fiori Flowers.

Designed by Denver's Urban Design Group, the Town Center features apartments overlooking a 2.5-acre town green and residential lofts and offices located above "main street retail."The town center is anchored by a 58,000 -sf King Soopers grocery store that is preparing to open in mid summer of this year.

"Stapleton has been the recipient of national and international awards for its thoughtful approach toward 'smart growth' and an environment that brings jobs, shopping and entertainment within walking distance of housing that is affordable to a wide range of incomes," says John Lehigh, COO for Forest City Stapleton, Inc. "When it opens in the fall of this year, the East 29th Avenue Town Center will further enhance Stapleton's reputation as a community of neighborhoods that are setting a new standard for 'the art of urban living' in Denver," he adds.

Lehigh notes that negotiations continue with a well-known coffee company, a dry cleaner, and other prospective tenants who have signed letters of intent to locate at the East 29th Avenue Town Center but have not yet finalized their contracts. Additional negotiations are being conducted with a bakery, specialty sports retailer, and a neighborhood pub. Only 19% of the nearly 200,000 sf of retail space in the first town center (which includes the grocery store) remains available.

Dan Miller of Denver-based Sullivan Hayes is Forest City's leasing agent for the property.
