INTRODUCING UPLANDS, A new idea of community in Westminster

On the land adjacent to the iconic Westminster Castle, we’re envisioning a new way to live that makes the most of this high ground. A community of pocket neighborhoods that aims to create meaningful community connections and return lasting value for the people of Westminster. Uplands, previously known as Rose Hill, is a vision that helps realize the goals of the City and our neighbors. A thoughtful mixed-use design that optimizes Westminster’s investments in schools, parks, recreation, and economic opportunity.

Part of Westminster’s new energy

Our neighbors already know that Westminster is located in the sweet spot between downtown Denver and Boulder, with easy access to Westminster Station’s B-line. An ideal location for those seeking both the city’s culture and Colorado’s adventure. Uplands is located at Westminster’s highest point, next door to the historic Westminster Castle with sweeping views of the Front Range and downtown. This land between 84th and 88th on Federal Boulevard is located near local parks, schools and shops. Up until now, the privately owned property has not been open to the community. It has always been privately owned, but now it is envisioned to become more accessible and connected to the existing neighborhoods.

Thoughtfully new

Uplands is the newest thinking in new urbanism, with a finer grain of planning and an intentional mix of uses. A community of pocket neighborhoods crafted around a variety of beautiful landscapes, streetscapes, and common areas. Woven together with trails, parks and creative “found” spaces. Where small-scale retail can grow organically over time, allowing neighborhood businesses to flourish. New ideas grounded in traditional neighborhood values. Like pride of place. Pride of ownership. And neighbors looking out for each other.

Gather Together

Uplands is being designed as an open, inclusive and welcoming place that embodies the very idea of community. A place that will bring people together – from all backgrounds and stages of life – with spaces to gather and things to do. It’s a celebration of public and private spaces, some intimate some grand.

A variety of home choices

Uplands will offer a timeless mix of new rental and for-sale homes, many of which will be attainably priced, designed with welcoming front porches and beautifully landscaped low-maintenance front yards.The result of architectural variety is an inviting place with the character of an old neighborhood that lives like new. By bringing a carefully crafted mixed-use neighborhood to an established part of town, we’re helping to diversify Westminster’s home choices. Breathing fresh new life into the area.

Sharing the views

We understand that this elevated land with inspiring Front Range views is special. We’ll do our best to enhance and share our hilltop position with preserved view corridors, staggered structure height and homes with rooftop decks that provide an extraordinary perspective. Not to mention better sunsets.

Connecting Westminster

The organic nature of the Uplands plan weaves new connective threads through the fabric of the existing Westminster community. Linking neighborhoods to parks, schools and businesses, and people to each other. We are a neighborhood complement to the regional vision of Downtown Westminster and Westminster Station. Together, we can help boost the Westminster economy.

Pedestrian friendly

By design, our community promotes walking and biking. We’re also committed to promoting multimodal alternatives that reduce reliance on cars. Minimizing the impact on infrastructure while also reducing congestion and pollution. As mobility changes, so must a modern community. Cycle and scooter stations, plus Uber and Lyft staging areas, get people to the train on time, and optimize the use of public transit.
