On Sept. 12, 2023, the Broomfield City Council and the Broomfield Urban Renewal Authority (BURA) unanimously approved the site-specific development plans for the first phase of the Broomfield Town Square. These plans build on the framework approved for the project through:

• the community’s long-desired vision for a gathering place for the community
• a Redevelopment and Reimbursement Agreement approved in 2019
• the PUD plan (zoning) approved in 2022

The first phase of development includes:

• Approximately 471 multi-family (apartment) residential units and 12 townhomes
• Approximately 63,590 square feet of commercial development including a new market hall in the former Safeway building
• An enlarged lake with trails and gathering areas incorporated throughout such as a plaza near E. 1st Ave, a beach and future boathouse at the northwest edge of the lake, restaurants and in smaller settings in various locations around the lake
• Space for a potential future expansion of the Broomfield Library/Auditorium facility on the east side of the expanded lake
• Parking primarily located within parking structures set within the mixed-use buildings
• Realignment of Community Park Drive
• Site improvements such as grading, drainage and utilities to serve the site
• Income-aligned housing is required. The developer has the option to provide on-site units or pay a cash-in-lieu fee to the City and County of Broomfield to apply to other affordable housing developments within Broomfield.

The Developer, the Broomfield Town Square Alliance, anticipates the construction document preparation and permit review period will take place in 2024 and they will commence construction in 2025.
