TeamCox Realtors reported in September 2008 that IKEA will build its first Colorado store in Centennial.  Like everyone else, we were starting to wonder about its fate over the past year and a half, but there is good news! It was announced today that the store is slated to open in fall 2011. It will be located just west of I-25 between County Line and Dry Creek.

For those of you who don’t know of IKEA, it is not your everyday furniture store, but an international phenomenon. The successful Swedish company sells sleek and stylish home furnishings at very competitive prices. One common complaint about IKEA is that many of its products need to be assembled, but you’ll likely let that one slide once you see all of IKEA’s unique offerings!

Now, you just need a new house to for all of your new furniture! Please let us know if we can help you find a new Denver home!

The Streets at SouthGlenn will be a major asset to the City of Centennial

The Streets at SouthGlenn is an upscale redevelopment project currently under construction on the site of the former Southglenn Mall, which opened in 1974. Three decades later, this exciting new development will completely revitalize its surrounding Centennial neighborhoods. The mixed-use project, slated for a Spring 2009 opening, is located in the heart of Arapahoe County near the intersection of Arapahoe Road and University Blvd.

Best Buy, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Staples and a Macy’s Home Store, will be among the first stores to open at the Streets at SouthGlenn next year. A highly anticipated new Whole Foods store is also under construction. Plans for the project don’t end with shopping, though. According to the City of Centennial’s website, the project will ultimately feature a park, fountains, festivals, community events, and concerts.

The Centennial real estate market will be invigorated by this exciting new development. The neighborhoods surrounding The Streets at SouthGlenn will greatly benefit from the added tax revenue and heightened profile. You should also be on the lookout for new residential projects, including Alberta Development Partners’ (the developer of The Streets at SouthGlenn) 200 for-rent luxurious apartment homes, and The Portola, which will consist of both retail space and residential space.

As longtime residents of Centennial, we couldn’t be more excited about The Streets of SouthGlenn. For more information on Centennial real estate, please contact TeamCox Realtors at 303-400-6060. Happy Shopping!

TeamCox Realtors often recommends Parker, Colorado, to our homebuyers since the southern Denver suburb appeals to almost everyone – first time buyers to young families to empty nesters. The charming town and its surrounding neighborhoods offer a unique blend of small-town charm blended with the conveniences of being near a large city.

Yesterday’s Denver Post featured an article about the future Rueter-Hess Reservoir, slated to be 50 percent larger than the Cherry Creek Reservoir, which is under construction near Parker. This reservoir brightens Parker’s already vivid future, since it will add to the area’s existing charm and recreational opportunities, while boasting its water supply. Planning for the reservoir began in 1985, as the Parker Water and Sanitation District sought to improve its long-term water supply.

Projected to be completed in 2011, the  Rueter-Hess Reservoir will provide water to the Town of Parker, in addition to surrounding Douglas County areas, including Stonegate, Castle Pines North and Castle Rock. While the recreation plans for the reservoir haven’t been finalized, there are plans to include fishing and non-motorized boating, including canoes and rowboats. In addition, approximately 2,000 acres of land will be set aside for wildlife, hiking, and biking trails.
