The South River Greenway Master Plan

The River South Greenway Master Plan provided a vision for four distinct planning areas along the South Platte River; south to north between W. Dartmouth Avenue (the southern Denver city limit) to 20th Street and east to west from Broadway to Federal Boulevard. This plan was developed through partnerships with The Greenway Foundation, Colorado Conservation Board, Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, The City and County of Denver Parks and Recreation and Public Works and Denver Water. The implementation of this plan will help create and improve parks, open space and related amenities that meet user need and provide guidance for future development as the City and County of Denver’s population increases. The River South Master Plan helps ensure that Denver can strategically plan for an interconnected, well planned and visually attractive River frontage.

Mr. Bounds practiced law with a passion for Civil Rights and justice. The design includes a memorial quote sandblasted into a concrete seat wall and a small bronze plaque describing the life of Donald and why his life made a difference to so many. The design includes a paved “pier”’ lined with ornamental flowering trees that leads to a scenic overlook with views over the park to downtown Denver.

Stanley Marketplace

Stanley Marketplace

Our Team was excited to be a part of the innovative design team tasked with the transformation of the 140,000 square-foot Stanley Aviation building and 22-acre site into the Stanley Marketplace; a mixed-use community destination that has already has begun and will continue to house retail, dining, offices, and a specialty grocer among other diverse potential tenants.

We formulated a concept for the Stanley Marketplace to create an inviting, attractive and functional landscape that accomplishes environmental, cultural and economic sustainability principles.

Our team has prepared a site master plan that includes a 6-acre park-like open space, event terraces and urban market plazas that will further establish Stanley Marketplace as a neighborhood destination.

Stanley Marketplace is the cornerstone redevelopment for the Westerly Creek Village Urban Renewal Plan in Northwest Aurora, Colorado. The landscape design is reflective of the site and its cultural, historic and physical context within Westerly Creek Village and Stapleton.

In keeping with our goal of uncommon respect for people, planet and purpose, we identified native landscape zones and prioritized preservation and restoration, with additional xeriscape plantings that reduce watering needs. The reduced impervious surfaces throughout the site and the reuse of salvaged materials from previous structures mitigate the overall impact of construction.
