Tentative Study Session Topics https://englewoodherald.net/stories/virtual-tour-brings-cinderella-city-mall-project,277422 Virtual tour brings Cinderella City mall back to life Local architect, software developer delves into Englewood mall's history COURTESY OF JOSH GOLDSTEIN/THE CINDERELLA CITY PROJECT Posted Monday, March 4, 2019 11:04 am Ellis Arnold [email protected] The ruins of the Cinderella City mall two decades ago are partly what inspired Josh Goldstein — then a young child — to become an architect. Now, Goldstein is taking nostalgists down a memory lane that leads right through the halls of the place once hailed as the “largest mall west of the Mississippi.” “It was a place of grandeur,” Goldstein told an audience of dozens packed into The Brew on Broadway, a brewery that sits just a few blocks from where the gargantuan mall once did. “It was a place of community and culture.” Goldstein’s Feb. 25 presentation, “Reconstructing Cinderella City: A 3D Tour Into the Past,” took the crowd through fond memories of decades long gone: the Round the Corner restaurant, Franz Hummel’s deli and Veldkamp’s Flowers all got reactions or applause as Goldstein toured through the virtual world, akin to a video game and projected on a screen. The former Englewood High School student recreated the 1.5 million-square-foot mammoth of a mall that was built on Englewood’s former city park, according to the presentation. In 1968, amid much media hype, Cinderella City opened to a crowd of thousands and eventually offered space for 275 stores. In 1974, it raked in just over half of Englewood’s total sales tax revenue, Goldstein said. But competition from new malls like Southwest Plaza led to a decline, and after a late-1990s demolition, the site was redeveloped. Today’s CityCenter Englewood shopping site — which includes city hall and Walmart, and stretches from South Santa Fe Drive to Elati Street between West Hampden and Floyd avenues — rose from the ruin. The Englewood Civic Center is a former Foley’s department store. “I saw Cinderella City getting demolished as a kid, and wanted to know more — what was this place, why is it getting demolished?” Goldstein told the Englewood Herald. “After learning about how grand it once was, I realized there was a story there about changes in architecture (and) tastes.” The opulent and seemingly never-ending mall featured rows of columns supporting the ceiling, planters hanging from ceilings and bright-colored walls. The building offered separate shopping areas in itself: the Blue Mall, Rose Mall, Gold Mall and Shamrock Mall — and Cinder Alley, marketed on an “old England” theme with lamps and artisan shops. Although malls its size are common now, Cinderella City stands out as a part of the community, having played host to events like antique car shows, concerts, trade shows, proms, plays and parades, according to Goldstein’s presentation. It even had an Englewood High School off-campus location with classrooms that students attended, along with areas for business offices, the presentation said. Amid today’s long wave of redevelopment in Englewood, Goldstein said the history is something to hold onto. “I would not like to see the building the library (and city hall) are in get torn down; it’s the last vestige of Cinderella City,” Goldstein told the crowd. Goldstein, who has a master’s degree in architecture and develops software, has also studied Englewood’s former Flood Middle School, which sat at South Broadway and Kenyon Avenue before the Bell Cherry Hills apartment building replaced it. It would have been more expensive to repurpose the school building, Goldstein said, but it’s an option he imagined. “If Englewood cares about its history, I think we should stop throwing our buildings away,” Goldstein said, to applause from the crowd. After a foreclosure sale in August on a part of the current CityCenter site east of city hall set the stage for it to change hands again, Englewood city staff is working to secure a possible deal to revamp the Englewood Civic Center area with a hotel, offices, apartments and smaller retail, according to Dan Poremba, the city’s chief redevelopment officer. “The re-establishment of CityCenter as Englewood’s ‘central place’ would in turn provide Englewood with improved opportunities to attract and retain employers, retailers and residents,” along with generating more tax revenue, Poremba has said. Despite the rumblings of changes, Goldstein said the redevelopment in the early 2000s got some things right — including having an RTD light rail stop — but that the “sea of asphalt parking” and Walmart as the primary anchor store were disappointing. He hopes cities like Englewood can offer development incentives to encourage reuse, not just demolition. Reworking an old building for a new use could also “create favorable press coverage, and could woo the right kinds of developers in the future,” he added. “For a city like Englewood, I fear it’s too late. What’s left to save? They already sold off so many of their historic buildings and schools,” Goldstein said. “It will take a little backbone, and a city like Englewood has to decide what’s more important: cheap, fast construction, or high-quality adaptive reuse that extends the life of a building and keeps the historic character alive for future generations?” SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE To learn more about the project, see historical photos of the mall, view the virtual recreation and follow its progress, visit the Cinderella City Project's pages on: Facebook Instagram YouTube ____________________________________________________________________________ TO: Mayor and Council Members THRU: Brad Power, Community Development Director Wade Burkholder, Community Development Planning Manager FROM: John Voboril, Planner II Dan Poremba, Chief Redevelopment Officer DATE: March 7, 2019 SUBJECT: FY2019 DRCOG Station Area Master Plan/Urban Center Next Step Study Grant Funding Award Community Development has recently learned from a Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) representative that the City of Englewood’s application for Fiscal Year 2019 Station Area Master Plan/Urban Center Next Step Study was fully approved for funding by the DRCOG Board at their February 20, 2019 meeting. The full amount of federal grant funding awarded under the grant is $200,000.00. A local match of $41,575.00 will be provided from the approved 2019 Community Development professional services budget. The 2020 Englewood Light Rail Corridor/Urban Center Next Step Study grant funding will serve as supplementary funding to Englewood Environmental Foundation (EEF) surplus funds in order to further leverage the following goals. Near term, site specific redevelopment planning for the mixed-use redevelopment of approximately 25 acres of the original CityCenter Englewood transit-oriented development. This effort was necessitated in large part by the foreclosure of the former Weingarten Realty property, to be resold shortly by C-III Asset Management. Continuation of the consulting tasks necessary to explore establishment of a Downtown Development Authority, including a Downtown Plan of Development for appropriate portions of the Englewood Urban Center. Council approvals will be required throughout the process, leading to a possible vote of the potential district’s stakeholders in November of 2020. Other related consulting expenses including market study, real estate advisory services, and exploration of the regulatory reforms, public improvements needs assessments and financing plans for industrial portions of the light rail corridor. 2 Community Development will now begin working with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to develop an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA). Both City Council and CDOT will approve the IGA through legislative action. During the time that the IGA goes through the approval process, the City of Englewood will issue competitive Requests for Proposals (RFPs) inviting prospective consulting teams to bid for specific components of the envisioned work. The selected consulting firm contracts will also require approval from City Council.

  • Englewood Colorado
    TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO GUIDE FROM SHOPPING CENTER TO CITYCENTER CityCenter in Englewood, Colorado, may provide insights for inner-ring suburban areas in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region. Located just south of Denver, Englewood’s light rail FAST FACTS transit (LRT) station opened in 2000 near a large shopping mall that was demolished in 1998 to make way for redevelopment. The 55-acre site represented an opportunity to TRANSIT turn the area into a more connected, walkable, and mixed-use district. To help catalyze C/D LRT Englewood Station development, the City created a new Civic Center and public plaza adjacent to the LRT Regional and local bus service station. The Civic Center includes City offices, a public library, and an arts organization.

Looking west toward Englewood Station in the distance with Englewood Civic Center comprehensive plan to the left. (Photo courtesy City of Englewood.) Initial redevelopment in the early 2000s had modest outcomes in terms of its transit orientation. At that time, the market for higher density and mixed-use projects was weaker than today. In addition to seeking tax base to increase tax revenue, the City responded to strong community support for replacing retail uses.
