Development Opportunities

Westminster is a first-ring suburb in the metro Denver area, with a population of about 117,000 – but that doesn’t begin to describe the unique places, neighborhoods and development projects that can be found across the city. Already known for its great use of open space and plenty of parks, Westminster is creating denser and more urban spaces — something for everyone. Learn about several key development areas here.

Redevelopment

In an effort to keep Westminster vibrant and responsive to community needs, redevelopment opportunities are being addressed throughout the city. Learn more about several urban renewal areas defined by the Westminster Economic Development Authority (WEDA) here.
